Cadeler’s Wind Peak wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) has arrived in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, after an impressive 73-day journey from the COSCO shipyard in Qidong, China. This new-build vessel is designed to meet some of the most complex challenges of offshore turbine installation .
With the ability to transport and install up to seven 15 MW wind turbines per load, Wind Peak is positioned as a key player in accelerating the transition to renewable energy .
Wind Peak and the installation of offshore wind turbines
Wind Peak has sailed more than 14,000 nautical miles, making stops in Singapore, Cape Town, Las Palmas, and now Rotterdam, where she is preparing for her first deployment to offshore wind energy projects.
With a lifting capacity of over 17,600 tons and a crane capable of lifting over 2,600 tons, this vessel is equipped to handle some of the largest wind turbine components in the industry.
This vessel is designed to operate in the most demanding offshore installation environments, allowing it to maximise efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of wind turbine installation. With the ability to transport multiple large turbines per voyage, the vessel significantly reduces the number of voyages required to complete large-scale renewable energy projects. This not only speeds up the installation process but also contributes to the sustainability of Cadeler ’s operations.
Wind Peak ’s arrival in Rotterdam marks a step forward in Cadeler’s mission to lead the offshore industry. With a team of up to 130 crew members and installation technicians, this P-class vessel is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation in the renewable energy sector.
