Wind
We’ve got renewable energy covered as well, with our vast knowledge and proven technology extending to offshore wind farms. Take, for example, our superior leg and pinion wear technology as demonstrated on DEME’s Innovation.
Our design portfolio now includes a suite of innovative wind turbine installation vessels, floating wind turbines, and US Jones Act feeder vessel solutions that enhance the safety and efficiency of the turbine installation process while decreasing costs.
Semi-Submersibles
Our unparalleled semi-submersible success dates all the way back to the 1970s with nearly 50 of our reliable, world-class Pacesetter and Trendsetter designs built over three decades.
During the latest oil and gas building cycle, this offshore vessel design success was carried over to our popular ExD class.
Deepwater Drillship
The DS3810 is designed for unprecedented mission flexibility: 40,000 ft wells in up to 12,500 ft of water with 90 days autonomy yields the ultimate drillship for remote environments.
