Sunrise Wind has installed its first turbine offshore New York, keeping the 924 MW project on track for first power later this year and full operations in 2027.
Wind Ace, Cadeler’s A-class offshore installation vessel, has been named at COSCO Shipyard. With 17,600 tonnes payload and NG-20000X design, it supports efficient monopile transport and installation.
Cadeler’s Wind Mover is installing the first turbine of its first transportation and installation campaign at the Baltic Power Offshore Wind Farm, supporting Vestas and Baltic Power in the Polish Baltic Sea.
Cadeler raised about EUR 175 million to support early commitments for two proposed T-class newbuilds and a possible scour protection vessel conversion, while keeping its near-term dividend capacity and capital return path in view.
Hornsea 3 foundation installation is due to start in April as Cadeler’s Wind Ally and Wind Orca and the SOV Esvagt Froude mobilise from Dutch and UK ports for the next phase of Ørsted’s offshore wind project.
Cadeler secured a new Taiwan offshore wind O&M contract through Nexra, with Wind Maker assigned to two wind farms in 2026.
Nexra has secured a firm O&M contract in Japan, with Wind Zaratan set to mobilise after scheduled maintenance and upgrades in Singapore. The campaign is due to start in spring 2026 and run for about 1–2 months.
Ørsted completes installation of 66 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines at the 920 MW Changhua 2b/4 offshore wind project in Taiwan; full site operation is expected in Q3 2026.
Hanwha Ocean successfully delivers the “Wind Mover” WITIV to Cadeler one month ahead of schedule, reinforcing offshore wind installation capacity and expertise in Europe.
