Ørsted and Cadeler have entered into a firm long-term lease agreement for a newly built wind farm installation vessel. With this agreement, Ørsted secures installation vessel capacity from Q1 2027 until the end of 2030 for upcoming construction projects.
Under the long-term agreement, Ørsted will have access to one of Cadeler’s new-build A-Class vessels. These A-Class newbuilds are designed to transport up to six XXL monopile foundations per round trip. Additionally, they can be converted from foundation installation vessels to wind turbine generator installation vessels. The A-Class vessels can transport and install seven complete 15MW turbine sets per load or five turbines of 20MW or more.
