Wind Osprey

Our two highly adaptable and well-maintained wind turbine installation vessels - the O Class vessels - provide a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of windfarm projects. Their advanced specifications set the new industry benchmark for vessel transit speed, lifting capability, DP station keeping and jacking speed, offering a significantly improved operating weather window. They are fitted with high-quality equipment, supported by advanced preventative maintenance systems, and incorporate a significant level of operating redundancy. Safety is enhanced through a 6-leg design that allows them to operate even on sites with the most challenging seabed conditions.

With a large cargo area and high-capacity deck loading, our vessels offer considerable flexibility in the transport and installation of turbines and foundations of all types and sizes that are currently on the market. They are operated with the maximum level of precision by experienced crews and offer highly functional facilities for the crews onboard.

As wind turbine generators (WTGs) increase in megawatt (MW) output and physical size, so does demand for even larger cranes with higher specifications.

Crane installation works were completed at the start of 2024 on our O Class vessels to ensure they are capable of handling the next generation of turbines.

The new main cranes each have a lifting capacity of 1,600 t at a radius of 40 meters. The main hook can reach 160 meters above the main deck and is a substantial upgrade from the previous vessel cranes.
