Dong Fang Offshore (DFO) has launched Orient Inspirer, with the vessel now entering the final stage before delivery.

The vessel is scheduled to be delivered and officially join the DFO fleet in the fourth quarter of 2026. Preparations for handover are currently progressing according to plan.

DFO said the launch reflects its ability to maintain on-time and on-quality delivery through close coordination between its onsite supervision team and the shipyard. The company said detailed control across engineering phases helped ensure each stage met manufacturing standards.

The company also described the launch as a sign of its capability to maintain progress in demanding shipbuilding projects.

Once delivered, Orient Inspirer will support DFO’s offshore wind farm construction and O&M activities across the Asia-Pacific region.
