Nexra wins additional near-term contract in Taiwan

Copenhagen, 23 March 2026 – Nexra, Cadeler’s dedicated service platform, today confirms the signing of an additional firm contract for an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) campaign to be executed and completed during 2026.

The campaign will service two offshore wind farms in Taiwan and will be executed using Cadeler’s wind installation vessel Wind Maker, which was delivered to the company last year. The contract, with an undisclosed client, is expected to run for approximately 3-4 months. Today’s announcement follows another recent Nexra contract award for a separate O&M campaign to be conducted by Wind Maker.

Nexra is Cadeler’s dedicated Operations & Maintenance (O&M) service platform, established in 2025 to support the growing global offshore wind aftermarket. As more turbines start spinning worldwide, particularly in the larger 10–15 MW segment, demand for complex maintenance and major component exchange continues to grow. Nexra brings together technical expertise, capable vessels, and lifecycle support capabilities to meet these evolving service requirements while strengthening long-term client partnerships. The O&M market accounted for roughly one fifth of Cadeler’s revenue in 2025.

Jacob Gregersen, Cadeler’s Chief Growth Officer, comments: “Securing campaigns like this reflects our ability to mobilise quickly where and when our clients need us. With a versatile fleet operating around the world, we can respond on short notice and execute safely and efficiently across different jurisdictions. This flexibility allows us to support the operational phase of offshore wind farms while maintaining high utilisation across our fleet.”

With our modern fleet and established presence in Asia-Pacific, we are well positioned to support clients not only during installation, but throughout the operational life of their assets.”
