Our services
Made for offshore wind
Jack-up vessels
ZITON provides specially designed vessels that bring flexibility and efficiency to replacing major components on offshore wind turbines. With the average offshore wind turbine size predicted to reach 6 MW by 2020, vessels need to be designed for an even more demanding future.
We have the industry’s first self-propelled, heavy-lift barge with a permanently mounted, telescopic crane capable of working at a height of 100 metres – J/U WIND.
Furthermore, we have three other purpose-built jack-up vessels – J/U WIND SERVER, J/U WIND PIONEER, and J/U WIND ENTERPRISE – capable of servicing even larger turbines in deeper waters, higher winds and on a variety of seabeds.
WIND ENTERPRISE is capable of servicing the largest currently installed turbines and the next generation of turbines.
The combination of these vessels and our insight gives us unparalleled flexibility to offer our customers the most efficient process.

Expanding our business into decommissioning and installation support services
Decommissioning
All operations are executed with a high focus on safety, cost efficiency and as little environmental impact as possible.
Our team handles the whole process from planning of the safest and most sustainable decommissioning method to recycling of the removed components.
Using jack-up vessels for installation support has a number of advantages including: access to cranes, a stable platform, highest safety and comfort of living quarters, swift repositioning by use of vessel’s DP system, large deck space for storage, workshop and stores facilities below deck.
