According to CIMC Raffles, the jack-up vessel will be China's most advanced fourth-generation self-propelled Wind Turbine Installation Vessel.

The WTIV will be 136 meters long, and 53 meters wide and will be able to accommodate 120 persons onboard.

The main crane will have a lifting capacity of more than 2,000 tons.

"She will be suitable for the offshore installation of various types of wind turbines with 15 to 20 MW capacity," CIMC Raffles said of the WTIV.
