Jamie Franklin's questions to Cadeler A/S (CDLR) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Jamie Franklin from Jefferies asked for clarification on the expected contracted days in Q2 relative to Q1, potential downtime for the fleet, the nature of any remaining gaps in the 2025 order book, and current day rates for O&M work.
Answer
Executive Mikkel Gleerup confirmed a significant step-up in Q2 activity is expected from newbuilds and the Wind Zaratan, with no adverse downtime anticipated beyond normal 'teething issues'. He noted that remaining 2025 gaps are mainly for vessel transit or late-year weather risk. Regarding O&M, he explained that spot market rates are on par with installation rates, while longer-term contracts are slightly lower but offer more visibility.
