Goldwind starts building its own Chinese installation vessels

The installation vessel adopts the integrated mode of “transport + storage + lifting," with industry-leading cranes, Goldwind announced. The vessel boasts the largest variable load capacity and turbine storage capacity in China and can optimize the construction of offshore wind power projects with different foundation types in the deep sea, significantly improving the lifting efficiency of turbine components while reducing the construction cost. This will accelerate the development of offshore wind power at affordable prices.

Xue Jiping, Chairman of Zhongtian Technology Group, said, "Goldwind has contributed to and promoted the localized, modernized, and large-scale development of wind turbines in China. Enjoying reputable product technology and quality, it had long held the leading position in the wind power sector." China Merchants Heavy Industry is among the top companies manufacturing marine engineering equipment and special engineering vessels. Next August, this new-generation offshore wind installation vessel will be put into operation and will create greater value for the offshore wind power development in Yangjiang, Guangdong and the South China Sea.

China has surpassed the UK in becoming the biggest offshore wind nation in the world recently.
