Analysis · CDLR · Energy & Transportation
With the delivery of Wind Ace, Cadeler's fleet grows to eleven vessels and gains a second state-of-the-art A-class unit capable of installing both XXL foundations and next-generation turbines. Already contracted for the 960 MW East Anglia TWO project, the vessel de-risks future revenue. On-time, on-budget delivery, backed by a strong safety record, underscores the company's execution capability in a tight offshore wind supply chain.
