CAPE Holland partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.
- CDWE (DEME Offshore & CSBC Corporation)coreCDWE (joint venture between DEME Offshore and CSBC) awarded CAPE Holland the Fengmiao Offshore Wind Farm contract. CDWE deploys Taiwan's first 4,000t crane vessel Green Jade with DP capabilities for the project. Collaboration includes continuous optimization of installation sequence and knowledge transfer to other DEME projects worldwide.
- DEMEcoreDEME is a leading global installation contractor that has awarded multiple CAPE VLT contracts including Moray West (CAPE VLT-640 Quad) and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CAPE VLT-640 Quad + separate VLT-640 unit). DEME deploys its Offshore Heavy Lift DP3 vessel Orion with 5,000t crane capacity for CAPE VLT operations.
- BoskaliscoreBoskalis awarded CAPE Holland the CAPE VLT-640 Triple contract for Moray West monopile installation (Nov 2023 – Mar 2024). Boskalis deployed its Heavy Lift Vessel Bokalift 2 with DP2 capabilities. Successfully installed 12 flanged monopiles with no mechanical breakdowns.
- Van OordcoreVan Oord awarded CAPE Holland the CAPE VLT-640 Quad contract for Ecowende's Hollandse Kust West offshore wind farm. Van Oord's new installation vessel Boreas with 3,000t crane will deploy the CAPE VLT for monopile installation to reduce piling noise compared to traditional hammer installations.
- Seaway7coreSeaway7 has been a long-standing partner deploying CAPE VLT equipment from its own equipment fleet supplemented by CAPE Holland rental fleet. Used CAPE VLT on Formosa 2 (188 pin piles), Riffgat (first ever vibro-driven monopiles in offshore wind, 2012), and Kaskasi II projects. Seaway7 converted its impact hammer powerpack to also drive CAPE VLTs.
- Ocean WindscoreOcean Winds (50:50 JV between EDP Renewables and Engie) is the developer of Moray West (882 MW) where CAPE VLT technology was selected. The developer has been a strong advocate for vibro lifting technology to mitigate pile run risk on large XXL monopile installations.
- Breman MachineryminorBreman Machinery fabricated the CAPE VLT-640 Triple for Boskalis (completed September 2023). CAPE Holland's trusted supplier for manufacturing large vibro lifting equipment.

CAPE Holland competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- MENCK (Acteon): MENCK, part of the Acteon group, is the leading supplier of hydraulic impact hammers for offshore wind and oil & gas pile driving. It is CAPE Holland's most direct substitute, offering an alternative installation methodology (impact vs. vibro) at the same offshore foundation customer set.
- Royal IHC / IHC IQIP: Royal IHC's IQIP division designs and manufactures marine foundation equipment, including hydraulic hammers and piling tools for offshore wind and oil & gas markets. It overlaps directly with CAPE Holland in serving installation contractors with offshore pile installation equipment.
- Bauer AG: Bauer is a global specialist foundation engineering company producing piling rigs and equipment for both onshore and offshore foundation construction. Its specialized foundation equipment unit competes with CAPE Holland in the offshore foundation installation tooling market.
- Bermingham Foundation Solutions: Bermingham designs and manufactures impact and hydraulic pile driving hammers for marine and offshore applications, including offshore wind. It competes directly with CAPE Holland's tooling at the same offshore contractor customer base.
- American Piledriving Equipment (APE): APE is a U.S.-based manufacturer of pile driving and foundation equipment including vibro hammers, and its Americas footprint and piling equipment overlap with CAPE Holland's offshore foundation installation product set.
Broad incumbents
- Junttan Oy: Junttan manufactures heavy piling rigs and hydraulic hammers primarily for onshore and nearshore foundation construction. As a broader incumbent in the pile driving equipment market, it represents an adjacent competitor that could expand into offshore applications.
- Liebherr: Liebherr is a global manufacturer of heavy mobile and crawler cranes used by offshore wind installation contractors (e.g., DEME Orion, Van Oord Boreas). While not a direct piling-tool peer, it produces the platform equipment on which CAPE Holland's systems are deployed.
- Enerpac Tool Group: Enerpac specializes in high-force hydraulic tools, integrated solutions, and lifting systems used across heavy industry including offshore wind and oil & gas. Its high-force hydraulic competence and customer relationships make it a broader incumbent adjacent to CAPE Holland's hydraulic tooling market.
- ABI Equipment / Interfama: ABI manufactures piling rigs, hydraulic hammers, and vibrators for foundation construction. As a broader piling equipment incumbent, it is comparable to CAPE Holland in the broader piling equipment category though primarily focused on onshore applications.
Others
- DEME Group: DEME is both a major CAPE Holland customer (deploying CAPE VLT at Moray West, Coastal Virginia, and Hai Long) and an offshore installation contractor that operates its own fleet of foundation installation tools. It is comparable as the principal buyer-side counterpart that ultimately controls equipment selection on most major projects.
