Nexra, Cadeler’s dedicated service concept, has signed a firm contract to execute an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) campaign in Taiwan, covering work across two offshore wind farms for an undisclosed client. The contract has an expected value exceeding EUR 20 million.
The campaign is scheduled to start in March 2026, run for 3–4 months, and be carried out using Cadeler’s wind installation vessel Wind Maker. The scope will be executed under Nexra, which was launched last year and focuses exclusively on delivering O&M services to support offshore wind farms throughout their operational lifetime.
Cadeler CEO Mikkel Gleerup said the award highlights Nexra’s execution strength and ability to respond quickly to client needs during the operational phase of offshore wind projects. He added that near-term campaigns support utilisation across Cadeler’s fleet while maintaining the reliability and technical expertise clients expect.
Cadeler said O&M activities accounted for approximately one-fifth of its total revenue in 2025, as the installed base of offshore wind turbines continues to grow and larger turbine generations enter operation. The company noted that expansion of operating turbines in the 10–15 MW segment is increasing demand for capable, flexible vessels to handle more demanding service scopes at greater water depths.
In response, Cadeler established Nexra in 2025 as a focused platform for offshore wind service and maintenance, aimed at strengthening long-term client relationships and reinforcing its strategic emphasis on the aftermarket. Nexra’s portfolio currently includes Zaratan, Wind Scylla, and Wind Keeper, with the flexibility to use additional vessels as required.
With the Taiwan campaign, Cadeler said the service concept continues to expand its footprint in key offshore wind markets, supporting the company’s ambition to be a long-term partner across the operational lifecycle of offshore wind farms, from installation through long-term O&M, including main component exchange.
