Cadeler takes delivery of 10th wind turbine installation vessel, Wind Mover

The company’s latest wind turbine installation vessel was delivered ahead of schedule and will, following mobilisation, head directly into operations in Europe.

Wind Mover is the second in the M-class series, following the delivery of sister vessel, Wind Maker, earlier this year.

The new vessel was constructed at the Hanwha Ocean Shipyard in South Korea. The design is a result of co-operation between Cadeler and its partners including Hanwha Ocean, ABB, Kongsberg, GustoMSC and Huisman.

Wind Mover is already contracted for work in Europe immediately upon its delivery, as announced earlier this year.

Equipped with a 2,600-tonne main crane, a DP2 positioning system and capable of operating in water depths of up to 65 m, Wind Mover is designed to install and maintain next-generation offshore wind turbines and foundations.

With five newbuild vessels delivered this year, Cadeler has doubled its fleet in 12 months, expanding from five to 10 wind turbine installation vessels. By mid-2027, Cadeler will operate a 12-vessel fleet.
