DEME’s new WTIVs, designed by GustoMSC, are equipped with a 3,200-tonne crane and can install wind turbines with rotor diameters measuring over 300 metres and XXL monopiles weighing up to 3,000 tonnes in water depths of up to 70 metres.
The vessels are capable of transporting and installing either four 20 MW turbines or six 15 MW turbines per trip.
Norse Wind and Norse Energi are also fitted with a hybrid power plant and a 4.2 MWh battery system that handles energy peaks and reduces the load on diesel engines, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions, according to the company.
