NOV Inc. has secured contracts for the design and supply of critical equipment for a next-generation wind turbine installation jack-up vessel, based on the GustoMSC NG-16000X design. The contracts, signed in mid-2025, involve the construction of the vessel by Hanwha Ocean, with delivery expected in the second quarter of 2028. The NG-16000X vessel is designed to offer enhanced carrying and lifting capacities, longer legs for operations in greater water depths, and is prepared for alternative fuel adaptations such as LNG and ammonia. The vessel will feature the GustoMSC Rack & Pinion jacking system with a variable speed drive and a 2,600-ton leg-encircling crane. This marks the fourth NG-16000X vessel to be built.
