This vessel, together with US constructed barges and tugs built and operated by Kirby Offshore Wind, will be used for the installation of the project’s Vestas V236-15MW turbines. The concept ensures that the vessel can remain in operation while the barges transport turbine components from the staging port on a continual basis. The newbuild vessel is planned to be ready for operation for Empire Wind I and II in the mid-2020s.
