SINGAPORE – Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters has secured a contract to construct a Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV).
This will be based on Sembcorp Marine’s in-house design, the result of a collaboration with the client.
Sembcorp says that the WTIV will be capable of handling the next generation of wind turbines which will be much large, with longer, lighter rotor blades, taller towers, and according to the company, more reliable drive trains, performance-optimizing control systems and multi-megawatt power generation.
