Dajin Heavy Industry commissions Jumbo to build heavy-lift vessels

The Chinese offshore wind foundation manufacturer stated that the agreement marks the beginning of a long-term industrial partnership between the two parties in offshore vessel construction, offshore wind projects, and deep-sea equipment services. Founded in Rotterdam in 1968, Jumbo Marine specializes in offshore heavy lifting and installation, and has maintained an industrial collaboration with Dajin Heavy Industry for many years.

Under the contract, the vessels will be equipped with two 1,200-tonne heavy-duty cranes, with a maximum tandem lifting capacity of 2,400 tonnes. The new vessels comply with DNV GL standards and clean energy shipping regulations, capable of meeting the demands of offshore wind heavy equipment operations and deep-sea engineering construction. The first vessel is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2028.

The cooperation also covers shipbuilding, offshore wind installation, and European project execution. Upon delivery, the vessels will primarily support the launching, transport, and on-site operations of floating wind turbine foundations in Europe. Dajin Heavy Industry stated that the agreement is part of its strategy to integrate equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, and offshore engineering services, helping to strengthen its competitiveness in the offshore wind supply chain.
