The recently announced wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) for which Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine won a shipbuilding contract is now confirmed to have been ordered by Maersk, whose subsidiary Maersk Supply Service has just revealed that it signed a firm contract with a joint venture between Equinor and BP for the installation of the Empire 1 and 2 offshore wind farms in the US.
As reported last week, Sembcorp Marine informed that it had won a contract for the construction of a wind turbine installation vessel based on its in-house design in collaboration with its client which the Singaporean shipyard then left unidentified.
