Cadeler has taken delivery of Wind Mover ahead of schedule, the tenth vessel in the company’s growing fleet. The vessel is the second ship in the M-class, and built at Hanwha Ocean Shipyard in Korea. After preparation, Wind Mover will go directly into operation in Europe.
“The delivery of Wind Mover, ahead of schedule, represents 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 now delivered, we are well-equipped to meet the scope and complexity of global offshore wind projects,” says Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
Equipped with a 2,600-ton main crane, a DP2 positioning system, and capable of operating in water depths of up to 65 meters, Wind Mover is specially built to install and maintain the next generation of offshore wind turbines and foundations.
With five newly built vessels delivered this year, Cadeler has doubled its fleet in just twelve months, expanding from five to ten wind turbine installation vessels.
By the middle of 2027, Cadeler will operate a fleet of 12 vessels – the largest fleet in the offshore wind industry.
