Supporting China’s Offshore Wind Ambitions

MS Qun Li Powered by Bergen Engines

In 2019, Bergen Engines delivered six B33:45L6A medium-speed gensets to the offshore wind installation vessel MS Qun Li, owned by Shanghai Salvage Bureau (COES).

Built by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) and designed by MARIC, the vessel was developed to support China’s fast-growing offshore wind sector, where reliability and power availability are critical to project delivery.

Reliable Power for Precision Operations

The six Bergen B33:45L6A engines provide steady, fuel-efficient power for both propulsion and hotel loads, while supporting mission-critical systems such as dynamic positioning and crane operations. The B33:45 platform is designed for offshore construction and support roles where uptime, durability and low maintenance requirements are essential.

For Qun Li, Bergen Engines deliver consistent performance during heavy-lift cycles and station-keeping operations, helping reduce operational risk and improve installation efficiency.

Enabling Offshore Wind at Scale

China continues to lead global offshore wind deployment, and vessels like Qun Li play a central role in turning project capacity into installed megawatts. As turbines grow larger and installations move into deeper water, dependable onboard power systems become increasingly important.

By supplying the vessel’s core power systems, Bergen Engines is contributing to the reliability and scalability of offshore wind operations in one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets.
