Wind Pace was delivered to Cadeler in March 2025 and went straight into commercial operation, deployed in the U.S. under a contract from Q2 2025 to Q1 2026. She has now returned to Europe soon to embark on a transport and installation campaign for Scottish Power Renewables installing Siemens Gamesa turbines at East Anglia THREE.
The two P-class vessels in the Cadeler fleet, Wind Peak and Wind Pace, are designed to operate at some of the most difficult sites around the globe and with the most advanced equipment in the industry. The vessels will offer increased transit capacity, lowering the energy intensity of installation, reducing installation time and thereby lowering total cost of installing offshore wind farms.
With a deck space of 5,600m2, a payload of over 17,600 tonnes and main crane capacity of above 2,600 tonnes at 47 meters, the two new cyber-secure vessels are very attractive to the industry. The vessels will be able to transport and install up to seven complete 15MW turbine sets per load or five sets of 20+ MW turbines, cutting down the number of trips needed for each project, thus accelerating installation speed and minimizing the carbon footprint. The vessels will have a 5,600 m2 deck space and can accommodate 130 people.
