While many are soaking up the sun this summer, our teams at the CIMC Raffles Shipyard in Yantai, China are hard at work – pushing ahead with the build of Norse Energi, the next-generation wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV).
This NG20000X-class vessel, is designed to install wind turbines with rotor diameters over 300 meters and XXL monopiles up to 3,000 tons, even in water depths of 70 meters. It’s equipped with a 3,200-ton crane and hybrid drive train technology to reduce carbon emissions per installed megawatt.
The vessel was successfully launched earlier this month, marking a major milestone as it enters its final construction phase. Delivery is expected in Q4 2025, and yes, it’ll be featuring the iconic DEME green.
Huge thanks to our shipbuilding partner and the dedicated DEME team for keeping the momentum strong, even in the summer. Your commitment is what makes this project shine!
