Cadeler has taken delivery of the company’s fifth addition to its fleet, Wind Peak.
The vessel is the company’s first P-class jack-up installation vessel from the COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry shipyard in Qidong, China.
Delivered on time and within budget, the vessel is the first of seven new builds for which Cadeler currently has signed contracts.
“To celebrate this impressive vessel coming into operation is a landmark occasion for Cadeler and our great partners on the project,” says Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
“For everyone involved, this is the culmination of years of hard work, planning and supervision, and I am extremely pleased to take delivery of this remarkable asset to Cadeler, on time and within budget.”
The company says the vessels have the ability to transport and install seven complete 15 MW turbine sets or five sets of 20 MW turbines per load. As the largest vessels in the Cadeler fleet, both Wind Peak and Wind Pace have a 5,600 square meter deck space, a payload capacity of 17,600 tons, and a main crane capable of lifting 2,500 tons at 53 meters. Each vessel can accommodate up to 130 crew members and installation technicians.
