It is the first floating, DP3 offshore installation vessel to be built in Taiwan.
The vessel will have a 4000-tonne crane capacity enabling it to transport multiple jackets and foundation components for the new giant wind turbines in a single shipment.
Green Jade is already set to be deployed for both the Hai Long and Zhong Neng offshore wind farm projects.
The vessel will be the second to enter the fleet, with DEME soon to welcome the offshore installation vessel Orion.
