Offshore wind references

We are well established in the Offshore Wind industry with ship designs for all stages of an offshore wind farm including installation and decommissioning, cable lay & pipe lay, and service operation vessels. We have built numerous offshore wind vessels at our yard, and have followed up the construction at other yards.

Five stages in the lifecycle of an offshore wind farm.
