This milestone comes as the company continues to expand its capabilities in the offshore wind sector. In October, Cadeler signed contracts with Polenergia and Equinor to install wind turbines at the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms in Poland. To carry out the work, Cadeler plans to deploy both an O-class and a P-class vessel.
Wind Peak is designed to operate in some of the most challenging offshore environments and handle some of the largest wind turbine components in the industry. The vessel can transport and install seven 15 MW turbine sets or five 20+ MW turbine sets per load. With a deck space of 5,600 square meters, a payload capacity of over 17,600 tonnes, and a main crane capable of lifting more than 2,500 tonnes at 53 meters, Wind Peak is a powerful asset for large-scale wind turbine installation. The vessel can accommodate up to 130 crew members and installation technicians.
In addition, COSCO is building another P-class vessel for Cadeler, Wind Pace, which is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025. This further strengthens Cadeler's position in the growing offshore wind market.
