The Cadeler windfarm installation vessel (WIV) design has an advanced specification that sets the new industry benchmark for vessel transit speed, lifting capability, DP station keeping and jacking speed, offering a significantly improved operating weather window.
The vessels are fitted with high-quality equipment, supported by advanced preventative maintenance systems and incorporate a significant level of operating redundancy. Safety is enhanced through a 6-leg design that allows the WIVs to operate even on sites with the most challenging seabed conditions. With a large cargo area and high capacity deck loading, our vessels offer considerable flexibility in the transport and installation of turbines and foundations of all types and sizes. They are operated with the maximum level of precision by experienced crews and offer highly functional facilities for the crews onboard.
Wind Osprey is now equipped with 1,200 t main crane – 132 m hook height above deck. The boom has a simplified design focused on providing efficient wind turbine installations, with optimisations driven by experience.
Wind Osprey is capable of handling the new generation of WTGs, such as SG 11.0-193 DD, V164-10.0 MW, V174-9.5 MW and GE Haliade-X 12MW.
