The Birth of a Behemoth
In an epoch-making venture, the CDWE consortium, an amalgamation of two industry titans—DEME Offshore from Belgium and Taiwan’s CSBC—has commissioned an awe-inspiring vessel, the ‘Green Jade’. This cutting-edge marine leviathan is specially engineered to cater to the ever-growing demands of the next-generation multi-megawatt turbines, jackets, and components, thereby configuring the blueprint for future offshore expeditions.
The monumental ‘Green Jade’, with its prodigious dimensions, stretching a staggering 216.5 meters in length, is meticulously designed to provide superior operational capabilities. Capable of housing a crew of up to 160, this vessel is a true marvel of maritime engineering.
Embarking on the Winds of Change
Green Jade’s professional debut is expected to take place at the Zhong Neng wind farm, closing in on the subsequent assignment at the Hai Long wind farm scheduled to commence in July. This deployment forecast underscores the pivotal role this colossal vessel is slated to play in harnessing the power of the wind and contributing significantly to sustainable energy generation.
Green Jade, boasting a colossal crane capacity of 4,000 tonnes, stands as an epitome of maritime efficiency. It can ferry numerous jackets and foundational segments required for the upcoming super wind turbines in one shipping journey, underscoring its substantial role in optimizing logistics and operational performance in the offshore wind industry.
A Paradigm of Sustainable Shipping
Further enhancing the allure and appeal of the ‘Green Jade’ is its green credentials. Emulating its name, the vessel employs dual-fuel engines, a testament to its commitment to sustainability, balance, and respect for the environment. In a world increasingly conscious of carbon footprints, the ‘Green Jade’ sails ahead with a ‘Green Passport’ and ‘Clean Design’ notation, paving the way for future vessels to consider environmental conservation as an essential part of their design and operation.
