Belgian marine engineering group DEME has officially taken delivery of its new wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV), Norse Wind, further expanding the company’s offshore renewables fleet as global demand for large-scale offshore wind construction continues to accelerate.
The vessel, built at China Merchants Heavy Industry’s shipyard in Jiangsu, was designed specifically to install the next generation of XXL offshore wind turbines of 15 MW and beyond. Following successful sea trials, Norse Wind will now begin mobilization for its first project under DEME Offshore’s operations in the North Sea.
