Offshore installation vessel Aeolus, which was purpose-built to construct wind parks, was put into service in 2014. With a top-range crane the Aeolus can lift more than 900 tonnes. This makes the Aeolus suitable for transporting and installing foundations and wind turbines. It has an advanced jacking system. Four giant legs, each measuring 85 metres and weighing 920 tonnes, allow Aeolus to be jacked up and work in waters up to 45 metres deep.
