© 2025 ZITON A/S
ZITON has been involved in the offshore wind industry since 2007, making us one of the first companies in the sector. Over the years, we have expanded our fleet from one to six vessels, while maintaining our position as the market leader in O&M services.
ZITON’s operations began in 2007 under the name Dansk Bjergning og Bugsering A/S with the acquisition of the vessel WIND and the initiation of the first long-term charter with Vestas. WIND was one of the first jack-up vessels in offshore wind and helped install some of the earliest offshore wind farms.
In 2008, jack-up operations were separated into a new entity, DBB Jack-Up Services A/S.
In 2010, WIND underwent a major rebuild and upgrade, leading to a three-year charter with Siemens beginning in 2011.
In 2012, BWB Partners invested in DBB Jack-Up Services A/S, becoming the majority owner. The same year, the fleet expanded with the purchase of WIND PIONEER in South Korea and the order of WIND SERVER from Nordic Yards in Germany.
A one-year framework agreement with Vestas and a three-year charter with SGRE were signed in 2014.
WIND SERVER became operational in March 2015, followed by WIND PIONEER in September 2015 after a complete rebuild at Orskov Yard. The Vestas agreement was also extended by two years.
In 2016, DBB Jack-Up Services A/S rebranded as ZITON A/S, and the SGRE charter for WIND SERVER began. That year also saw three-year framework agreements signed with Ørsted and Vattenfall.
In 2017, the Vestas agreement was extended, and in 2018, ZITON carried out its first full-service major component replacement with technicians from ZITON Contractors. The same year, ZITON secured EUR 125m in new financing and established subsidiaries in Germany and the UK.
ZITON also completed the decommissioning of Utgrunden Offshore Windfarm, marking its first full wind farm decommissioning.
In 2019, ZITON chartered the vessel WIND ENTERPRISE, enabling it to service larger turbines up to 10 MW. That year, framework agreements with both Vattenfall, Vestas, and Ørsted were also extended.
In 2020, ZITON purchased WIND ENTERPRISE and signed a long-term, three-year-and-eight-month charter with SGRE, which began in 2021.
From 2019 to 2021, ZITON completed two full turnkey blade campaigns at the West of Duddon Sands and Meerwind wind farms for SGRE. These projects demonstrated ZITON’s growing capabilities in large-scale offshore wind operations.
In September 2022, Permira Credit Solutions III Sub Master Euro S.à r.l. became ZITON’s new controlling shareholder.
In January 2023, ZITON initiated a strategic agreement with RWE. By April 2023, ZITON and SGRE signed two additional agreements, extending the WIND ENTERPRISE charter and adding a new charter for WIND ENERGY, which will run until 2030.
In June 2023, ZITON raised EUR 296 million to refinance existing debt and acquire WIND ENERGY. The vessel, which departed China in August 2023, arrived in Denmark in November 2023, marking a significant step in ZITON’s fleet expansion.
In early 2024, WIND ENERGY completed her yard stay and began her SGRE charter. September 2024 marked the beginning of ZITON 2.0, with a new brand identity and ownership changes, as Macquarie Asset Management entered an agreement to acquire ZITON.
The company also announced plans for a new warehouse in the port of Esbjerg. In November 2024, ZITON acquired WIND DISCOVERY, which completed a yard stay in China before heading to Denmark in December 2024.
In January 2025, Macquarie’s acquisition of ZITON was completed, and in May 2025, WIND DISCOVERY begins her time charter.
