Construction of the vessel is expected to be completed in early 2025.

It will be constructed to operate at a ‘high level of efficiency’, as well as handle next-generation wind turbines.

These wind turbines will feature longer and lighter rotor blades, stable drive trains, taller towers, and performance improving control systems as well as multi-megawatt power generation units.

Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters senior vice-president Wong Teck Cheong said: “We are grateful for the confidence our customer has placed with Sembcorp Marine to bring this breakthrough WTIV design to the offshore wind market.
