Installation
Strategically based in Europe, our installation division comprises experts from major European offshore wind markets, boasting extensive maritime and offshore wind experience that allows us to stay ahead of industry trends and regulatory requirements. Foreseeing the fixed-bottom offshore wind industry’s need for larger turbines and larger foundations in greater water depths that are beyond the capabilities of existing vessels, our installation division will bring to market the next generation of offshore wind installation vessels to address the market gap with a safe and commercially viable installation capacity, supporting the ambitious growth targets of the offshore wind industry.
INSTALLATION VESSELS
Specially crafted by expert vessel designers in Europe, our newbuild Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (WTIVs) feature industry-leading capacities and capabilities to facilitate the installation in deeper waters, the lifting of heavier components, and the transportation of more turbine sets than any existing vessels. These vessels can install an entire wind farm, including foundations, offshore substations and turbine generators, which is instrumental in remote regions. In addition, each vessel is equipped with class-leading fuel efficiency and green credentials. For lighter installation and/or Operations & Maintenance (O&M) work, we will acquire existing vessels to provide the right capabilities at a sustainable cost.
Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV)
Also specially designed in Europe, our Floating Foundation Installation Vessels (FFIVs) feature groundbreaking innovations in crane design, propulsion systems, and component handling equipment to manage the installations in harsher waters, lift heavier components and carry a greater foundation payload than any existing vessels. Each vessel is also equipped with class-leading fuel efficiency and green credentials.
