General Vessels

DEME Group's latest offshore installation vessel Orion is on the way to Europe for the final construction phase before it heads to the first offshore wind project. In a few weeks the vessel will arrive in Rostock, Germany where it will be equipped with a Liebherr crane with a lifting capacity of 5,000 tonnes.

The vessel was constructed at COSCO Qidong shipyard in China. At 216.5m long, it is equipped with DP3 (Dynamic Positioning) capability and can accommodate a total of 131 people. The vessel is also to be outfitted with a Walk-to-Work gangway for personnel transfers.

DEME Group subsidiary GeoSea will deploy the vessel for the construction of large offshore wind turbines. Orion will be suitable to transport the monopiles, jackets, wind turbine components and other structures associated with the construction of giant multi-megawatt wind turbines.
