In August 2024, we celebrated the naming of Wind Peak, our first P-class vessel and the fifth and newest addition to the Cadeler fleet. Wind Peak went directly from the shipyard to full commercial operation.
The second P-class vessel, Wind Pace, will arrive in Q2 of 2025.
Wind Peak and Wind Pace are designed to operate at some of the most difficult sites around the globe and with the most advanced equipment in the industry. The vessels will offer increased transit capacity, lowering the energy intensity of installation, reducing installation time and thereby lowering total cost of installing offshore wind farms.
With a deck space of 5,600m2, a payload of over 17,600 tons and main crane capacity of above 2,600 tons at 46 meters, the two new cyber-secure vessels are very attractive to the industry. The vessels will be able to transport and install seven complete 15MW turbine sets per load or five sets of 20+ MW turbines, cutting down the number of trips needed for each project, thus accelerating installation speed and minimizing the carbon footprint. The vessels can accommodate 130 people.
