The KOE-01 wind turbine installation vessel commissioned by KOE to be built by HPS was successfully accepted at Longxue Shipbuilding Base, on May 18, 2017.

The KOE-01 vessel has an overall length of 85.8 meters, a molded breadth of 40 meters, a molded depth of 7 meters, a leg height of 80 meters, a deck area of about 2,000㎡, a variable load of 2,500 tons, a endurance of 30 days, and a crew complement of 80 people. It takes into account the advantages of the self-elevating vessels and the floating vessels, can complete the offshore operation mission alone, carry multiple wind turbines at one time, reduce the reliance on the local ports, and ensure excellent stability.

The KOE-01 vessel boasts the fastest hydraulic jacking speed among wind turbine installation vessels in China currently. The KOE-01 vessel is currently the fastest hydraulic jacking wind turbine installation vessel in China. Its key equipment JYM-HJ3600 continuous hydraulic pin jacking system is designed and manufactured by KOE independently, with complete intellectual property rights.

In the journey of offshore wind power construction, KOE will continue to further develop in-depth cooperation with units of great strength in the offshore industry. KOE will give full play to its own advantages through the use of their respective mature technology and equipment, and work together to promote the construction of offshore wind turbine installation, operation and maintenance bases in South China region.
