Cadeler, a specialist in offshore wind farm installation, signed a significant installation vessel reservation agreement with an undisclosed client.

This multi-year agreement, with potential exercise of options, could become the largest deal in Cadeler’s history. The total estimated value of projects executed under the agreement is projected to range from €400 million to €700 million.

The agreement guarantees access to one or more of Cadeler’s highly capable wind farm installation vessels, including a new A-class vessel currently under construction. Work on the secured projects is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Cadeler’s fleet boasts vessels specifically designed for offshore wind farm installation. These vessels are equipped to handle both the transport and installation of foundations and wind turbine generators (WTGs). This comprehensive offering allows Cadeler to deliver maximum efficiency, synergy, and flexibility for its clients.
