DEME has taken delivery of its second new wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV), Norse Energi, on 15 January at the CIMC Raffles Shipyard. As the sister vessel of the recently delivered Norse Wind, Norse Energi is purpose‑built to install the next generation of large-scale offshore wind turbines.
Featuring advanced technology, exceptional lifting and loading capabilities, and sustainable design features, both vessels will help reinforce DEME’s position at the forefront of offshore wind installation.
Designed by GustoMSC and built by CIMC Raffles, Norse Energi – like its sister vessel Norse Wind – is engineered to install turbines with rotor diameters measuring over 300 metres and XXL monopiles weighing up to 3000 tonnes, even in water depths of 70 metres. Delivered on schedule, Norse Energi will now be coated in DEME’s iconic green livery.
