The offshore vessel "Voltaire" arrives at Navantia Cádiz for maintenance work, which will last until the end of the year

The offshore vessel "Voltaire" (IMO 9899284) arrived at the port of Cádiz on November 2nd to carry out maintenance work at the Navantia Cádiz shipyard. The vessel, owned by the Belgian company Jan De Nul, specializes in the transport and installation of large offshore wind turbines.

Its characteristic silhouette, formed by four vertical towers 130 meters high, is part of a jack-up system that allows the hull to be lifted above the water and supported on the seabed. This feature has not gone unnoticed in the port area and has attracted the attention of passersby.

The offshore vessel "Voltaire", flagged in Luxembourg, arrived at the Cádiz port from the port of Nigg in the United Kingdom and is currently docked at the Armamento dock. The maintenance work is expected to last until the end of the year.

The vessel is prepared to install wind turbines over 270 meters tall and blades up to 120 meters long. It is equipped with a crane capable of lifting loads of up to 3,200 tons. Additionally, it has a deck of 7,000 square meters and can transport up to 21,500 tons of cargo.
