Van Oord preparing for 20 MW wind turbines with new vessel

Van Oord has made additional moves to further strengthen its position in the offshore wind market with the order of a new offshore installation vessel capable of installing up to 20 MW wind turbines. The jack-up vessel is also featuring emissions reduction technology as it will operate on methanol. The investment is in line with the increasing global demand for offshore wind farms, Van Oord said in a statement on Friday.
