Cadeler doubles fleet to ten WTIVs with early delivery of Wind Mover

Cadeler A/S announced the successful and early delivery of "Wind Mover," its tenth wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) and the second in its M-class series. Constructed at Hanwha Ocean Shipyard in Korea, the vessel was delivered ahead of schedule and within budget, boasting a strong safety record.
