Denmark-based offshore wind vessel player Cadeler has signed a preferred supplier agreement with an undisclosed client for the transportation and installation of monopiles and transition pieces at a large European offshore wind farm.

The installation campaign is expected to commence in the first half of 2028 and to be executed using two of Cadeler’s wind installation vessels, including one of the company’s newbuild A-class series, designed to excel in XXL foundation installation. The agreement is subject to the client’s final investment decision on the project. 

According to the company, this will be Cadeler’s first full-scope foundation transport and installation project outside the United Kingdom.

“The signing of this preferred supplier agreement reflects continued confidence in Cadeler’s capabilities within offshore wind foundation transportation and installation,” said Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.
