CIMC Raffles delivers the new wind turbine installation vessel "Huaxia Honghu 01"
The vessel has the capability to install various types of offshore wind turbines of 15MW and above.

On 6th March, the "Huaxia Honghu 01," a self-elevating and self-propelled wind turbine installation vessel constructed by CIMC Raffles that a subsidiary of CIMC Group for Huaxia Financial Leasing, was delivered in Yantai.
This marks the addition of a powerful tool for the development of offshore wind farms in China, which will inject new vitality into promoting the transformation of the energy structure and the marine economy development. This vessel is the second wind turbine installation ship delivered by CIMC this year and the first delivery in the Year of the Snake.
The "Huaxia Honghu 01" is the fourth-generation of self-elevating and self-propelled wind turbine installation vessels which is more advanced in China. The vessel is 139M in length, 50M in width, with a molded depth of 10M, and a cruising speed of approximately 8 knots. It is equipped with a DP-2 dynamic positioning system, which can flexibly cope with the challenges of offshore wind power construction in waters depths below 70M. The vessel is outfitted with a 1500-ton full-revolving pile-guide crane and has the capability to install various types of offshore wind turbines of 15MW and above.
Its overall technical indicator are leading in China and advanced in the world, particularly in terms of lifting capacity, hoisting height, and operational water depth, which elevates the technical level of China's self-elevating wind power operation platforms to a new height.
