WIND PIONEER was bought in 2012 by ZITON and rebuilt at Orskov Yard in Denmark. The vessel is very well-suited for major component replacements on smaller turbines, while it also provides one of the industry’s lowest carbon-footprints. WIND PIONEER is equipped with a 150 tonnes crane and capable of working in water depths of up to 34 meters.
