Kongsberg Maritime secured a contract with Cosco Shipping Offshore to supply an integrated technology package for two new wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) being built for offshore wind power installation company Cadeler.
This agreement adds to a series of previous vessel projects delivered to Cadeler through Cosco Shipping Offshore and further extends the collaboration between both companies. Cadeler announced the two new T-class vessels in August 2026, with delivery scheduled for 2030 and 2031.
Kongsberg Maritime's supply comprises a complete package of electrical, automation, and propulsion systems for both vessels. This includes azimuth and tunnel thrusters, dynamic positioning (DP) technology, power generation and distribution systems, propulsion drives, integrated vessel automation and control systems, and energy management solutions. The integrated package is designed to provide high levels of operational control, positioning accuracy, and energy efficiency during offshore installation operations.
The new T-class vessels are designed to support increasingly complex offshore wind projects and the installation of larger, next-generation wind turbines and foundations.
Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, President and CEO of Kongsberg Maritime, stated that "we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Cadeler and Cosco Shipping Offshore on these two new vessel projects. This new contract reflects the strong working relationship we have forged over the years and our shared focus on delivering reliable and efficient solutions for offshore wind power operations."
"As offshore wind power projects continue to evolve, vessel owners and operators require systems that support operational performance, energy management, and precise vessel positioning. We look forward to bringing our technology and expertise to these new additions to Cadeler's fleet," the executive added.
The contract continues Kongsberg Maritime's involvement in Cadeler's growing fleet, which includes a vessel currently under construction and newly contracted vessels.
