The WIV was also selected to install wind turbines at the Beacon Wind offshore wind farm in the US.
The first steel for the WIV at Sembcorp Martine’s shipyard was cut in October 2022 .
The vessel will be equipped with Steerprop’s propulsion package, with its jacking units, load transfer system, and crane to be provided by NOV. The WIV design work has been supported by the class society ABS.
The wind installation vessel is scheduled to be delivered in 2025.
