Installation Vessel

The Wind Turbine Shuttle is a dynamically positioned, fast sailing (14 knots) SWATH – Small Water plane Area Twin Hull – type installation vessel which can carry and install two wind turbines in one piece. By combining low vessel motions, compensating systems and a mooring system, the wind turbine is kept virtually stationary in relation to the fixed foundation.
