Cadeler has taken delivery of Wind Mover, which will be the tenth vessel in the company's fleet of offshore wind turbine installation vessels. The vessel is the second in the M-class in Cadeler's fleet and a sister ship to Wind Maker, which was delivered earlier this year. Cadeler announced this in a press release.
Wind Mover was built at the Hanwha Ocean shipyard in South Korea. It was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. The vessel is equipped with a 2,600-tonne main crane, a DP2 positioning system and can operate in water depths of up to 65 meters. It will install and maintain next-generation offshore wind turbines in European waters and will go into operation immediately after delivery.
- The delivery of Wind Mover, ahead of schedule, marks another step in our long-term strategy to operate the most advanced and versatile fleet in the offshore wind sector. With both Wind Mover and Wind Maker delivered, we are well equipped to handle the scale and complexity of global offshore wind projects. After its delivery, Wind Mover will sail directly out to install and maintain the largest turbines on the market, says Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
With five newbuildings delivered this year, Cadeler has doubled its fleet from five to ten installation vessels. By mid-2027, the company expects to have 12 vessels at its disposal, making it the largest installation fleet in the industry.
