6th installation vessel added to Cadeler fleet

Wind Maker was christened on January 27 at the Hanwha Ocean Shipyard in South Kor ea, where a second vessel, Wind Mover, is also being built.

Both vessels are M-class, which means they should be equipped for the next generation of wind turbines, which seem to be growing exponentially in size.

The vessels can operate in water depths of up to 65 metres and a wave height of two metres. The self-propelled vessels have a 2,600t main crane, 5,400m² deck main area and accommodation for 130 people.

“Today marks a significant achievement in our strategic fleet expansion and the successful culmination of years of planning and innovative engineering,” said Cadeler CEO Mikkel Gleerup. “Wind Maker is already contracted for deployment immediately after its delivery and she and her sister vessel have secured a pipeline of exciting wind farm projects.

“As a reliable partner in the offshore wind industry, our success depends on our ability to adapt and meet the evolving demands of our clients, both today and in the years to come. Wind Maker embodies this commitment and is a testament to the dedication of the Cadeler team, our shipyard, and the collaboration we have had with our strategic partners.”
