On 10 February 2026, Dajin Heavy Industry Co.,Ltd staged an event to mark the naming and first sailing of its first 40,000 DWT deck carrier, KING ONE, at the Dajin Penglai Offshore Facility. With the vessel formally named, KING ONE began its overseas operating program.

Built as a heavy-lift deck carrier for offshore wind and offshore oil and gas work, KING ONE has an overall length of 240 m, a moulded breadth of 51 m, and a depth of 13 m. The vessel offers around 12,000 square meters of working deck space and a maximum deadweight of 40,000 tonnes. Its transport scope includes 15–25 MW offshore wind monopiles, jackets, floating foundations, and other large offshore modules, supporting long-haul ocean carriage and international project deployment.

For Dajin Heavy Industry Co.,Ltd, the entry of KING ONE is positioned as a milestone in its move from wind power equipment production toward integrated offshore solutions. The company linked the vessel’s commissioning to a closed-loop operating structure that combines in-house manufacturing capacity, proprietary products, owned shipping assets, and port resources—an arrangement intended to support expansion into deep-sea offshore work and broader EPCI execution capability.

With offshore wind projects trending toward deeper sites and larger turbines, specialized transport capacity remains constrained, and KING ONE is presented as a response aimed at improving reliability for large-scale offshore logistics. Dajin Heavy Industry Co.,Ltd also stated plans to add more than ten tailored offshore vessels over the next three years to support marine renewable energy development.
