Cadeler took delivery of Wind Ace from COSCO Shipping Offshore’s Qidong yard, the second of three A-class newbuilds, completed on schedule and within budget after more than 3.5 million working hours without a lost-time accident. The hybrid vessel can install both XXL monopile foundations and next-generation wind turbine generators and will mobilise for ScottishPower Renewables’ 960 MW East Anglia TWO project in the UK North Sea, where offshore works are scheduled to begin in 2027 covering all 64 turbines and their foundations. Cadeler’s third A-class vessel, Wind Apex, is due in the first half of 2027.
