Event Summary

Cadeler A/S, a leading offshore wind installation company, announced firm contracts with COSCO Shipping Offshore shipyard in Qidong, China, for the construction of two new T-class offshore wind installation vessels. The vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2030 and 2031. The contract price is approximately EUR 805 million in aggregate. Cadeler secured equity financing earlier in 2026 to support this investment as part of its long-term fleet expansion strategy. The T-class vessels are designed to be the largest and most capable in the market, incorporating advanced technologies to handle increasingly complex offshore wind projects. Cadeler is already in discussions with key clients for deployment of these vessels. This order builds on an established collaboration between Cadeler and COSCO Shipping Offshore, which has previously constructed several vessels for Cadeler's newbuild programme.
