With next generation offshore wind farms almost upon us, Jan De Nul Group is selling the Jack-Up Installation Vessel Taillevent. The sale includes the vessel only, with the crew deployed to other Jan De Nul vessels.

The decision to sell is a result of the rapid change in future offshore wind component sizes, requiring larger and custom-designed installation vessels during construction.

Jan De Nul Group has positioned itself for next generation offshore wind, with new vessels under construction including the Voltaire, the world’s tallest jack-up vessel, and the floating installation vessel Les Alizés for heavier components, as well as an extension of the cable-laying fleet with the acquisition of the Connector. Other new build projects are currently being evaluated to further enhance the Jan De Nul Group fleet of installation vessels.
