Singapore, 27 February 2026 – Seatrium Limited (“Seatrium” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce
the successful delivery of the next-generation Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (“WTIV”), which was
handed over to its customer, Maersk Offshore Wind (“MOW”), on 26 February 2026. This milestone
follows the successful completion of sea trial activities and final readiness evaluations at the Group’s
flagship Tuas Boulevard Yard. This also marks a significant achievement for Seatrium and underscores
the Group’s growing contribution to advancing the global offshore wind industry.
Mr William Gu, Executive Vice President, Seatrium Energy (Marketing), said, “This state-of-the-art
WTIV represents a major step forward in pushing the possibilities for global offshore wind. We
are proud to deliver this unique vessel to our partner, Maersk Offshore Wind, to advance the
progress of the end customer’s wind farm development. This achievement not only underscores
Seatrium’s engineering capabilities, it also reinforces the critical role we play in building the
backbone to global offshore wind systems. As the world scales renewable energy at
unprecedented speed, we remain dedicated to delivering innovative, future-ready solutions that
drive the next generation of offshore wind development.”
Custom-engineered and built by Seatrium to install some of the world’s largest offshore wind turbines,
this first-of-its-kind WTIV sets a new benchmark for global offshore wind installation capability. The
milestone marks the completion of an extensive construction programme involving the installation of a
1,900-tonne main crane, precision heavy-lift operations, full system integration, and rigorous validation
by leading international classification societies. With a 180-metre hook height, the crane supports the
installation of 15+MW-class turbines.
The vessel’s feeder-based installation design enhances operational efficiency, enabled by a stabilising
system to hold feeder vessels for the transfer of offshore wind components, even in high sea states. This
improves installation efficiency by extending the operational weather window, ensuring the WTIV can
carry out uninterrupted installations, improving operational efficiency and reducing total cost and time of
installation. This feeder-based installation solution is US Jones Act compliant and can also be deployed
in other geographies. The WTIV is due to sail in March 2026 for its first assignment at the Empire Wind
project offshore New York, where it will play a pivotal role in advancing the wind farm’s mission to deliver
clean and reliable energy to 500,000 homes1
.
Throughout the project, Seatrium upheld its steadfast commitment to safety, achieving zero Lost Time
Injuries (LTIs) – a testament to the Group’s strong safety culture and disciplined project execution.
As Seatrium continues to expand its offshore wind portfolio – ranging from offshore substations and
floating foundations to zero-emission vessels and specialised installation assets such as WTIVs – each
achievement represents another step forward in supporting the industry’s rapid growth, solidifying
Seatrium’s role as a key enabler of global net-zero ambitions and a trusted partner in driving the future
of offshore wind.
