    offshore wind turbines. The vessel is under construction at COSCO Shipping Heavy
    Industries in China and is expected to be delivered to the Jan De Nul Group in 2022.
    With four approximately 130 m long truss-type legs and a high-speed rack-and-pinion
    jacking system, the vessel is able to operate on up to 80 m water depth, and with 7,000
    m2 cargo deck, a 3,000 t main crane and a jacking deadweight of 14,000 t, it is able to
    carry and install even the largest wind turbines.

    sets, 4 stern thrusters, 2 bow thrusters and 2 retractable bow thrusters.
    The accommodation block, which holds 100 crew single cabins, is unique in that it is
    divided into two separate blocks – one in each side – which allows long cargo items
    to be stowed in the CL between the two blocks. The vessel is further equipped with a
    helicopter deck.
