SAL Heavy Lift is working with its joint venture partner, Dutch company Jumbo Shipping, on this joint newbuilding programme called Orca Class.
Scheduled for delivery starting in mid-year 2024, the first two ships will be exclusively involved in the transportation of offshore wind turbine components in a long-term commitment with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.
Two additional sister vessels will enter the heavy lift shipping market to serve the clients of the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance in the first half of 2025.
