Cadeler’s Wind Peak Arrives in Rotterdam

“She is here!!!”

But who is where?

As Vadim, one of the her crew members posted on LinkedIn, she is the Wind Peak – the latest in a line of Cadeler’s new builds and she is now in the Waalhaven in Rotterdam where she will prepare for her first contract.

HeavyLiftNews could not really miss such news happening less than 20km away, so I went and took a few photographs.

Cadeler describes their P – Class vessels as follows:

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.

• deck space of 5,600m2,
• payload of over 17,600t
• main crane capacity of above 2,600t at 46m

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.
