The DMA’s unannounced survey on June 11 found that all equipment was working, no alarms had sounded, and departure procedures had been followed when Fred Olsen Windcarrier’s Brave Tern, carrying turbine blades for RWE’s 1.1 GW Thor wind farm, struck stationary Cadeler jack-up Wind Keeper’s starboard crane and made contact with the quayside during a 170‑degree turn at 3‑4 knots in Esbjerg harbour on June 10. Wind was 9 m/s and increasing, and the report notes that windage from 120‑metre turbine towers stowed vertically on deck “may have had a greater influence on the vessel’s manoeuvring performance than originally expected.” No injuries were recorded. A full investigation by the Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board is ongoing.
