Jan De Nul sells jack-up vessel

Jan De Nul Group has sold the jack-up installation vessel Taillevent to an undisclosed buyer.

The sale includes the vessel only, with the crew deployed to its other vessels.

During her time with the company, the 2011-built Taillevent executed offshore wind projects in Europe and Asia.

The company said the decision to sell is a result of the rapid change in future offshore wind component sizes, requiring larger and custom-designed installation vessels during construction.

It has two new vessels under construction. The jack-up vessel Voltaire and the floating installation vessel Les Alizés are expected to be delivered in 2022.

Last year the company acquired the cable-lay vessel Connector from Ocean Yield ASA.
