DEME Group next generation DP3 installation vessel Orion is on its way to Europe for final outfitting before starting work on an offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
The company said Orion will arrive in Rostock, Germany, in a few weeks to be equipped with a Liebherr crane.

DEME said the crane will give the 216.5-metre long vessel lifting capacity of 5000 tonnes.
Orion will also have capacity for 131 crew and staff and will be delivered by the end of the year.
It will be deployed by DEME to transport and install foundations at Orsted’s 1386MW Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
