The new T-class series vessels have been engineered to be the largest and most capable vessels ever introduced to this market, incorporating breakthrough technologies and operational capabilities that extend well beyond current industry standards. Designed to tackle increasingly complex projects with greater efficiency, versatility and performance, they are expected to open access to new opportunities while reinforcing Cadeler&#39;s long-term competitive advantage and commitment to innovation.

The contract builds on Cadeler&#39;s established collaboration with COSCO Shipping Offshore shipyard, which has already constructed several vessels as part of Cadeler&#39;s newbuild programme. The agreement was secured on competitive commercial terms and reinforces the strong relationship between the two companies. The contract price for the two T-class vessels is approximately EUR 805 million in aggregate.
