and installation crane vessel
Papendrecht, 26 October 2016
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has
been awarded a contract by DONG Energy Wind Power A/S for the
transport and installation of the foundations for a part of the
Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm Project One. The entire wind farm will
generate a total capacity of 1,200 MW and is located approximately
120 kilometers off the Yorkshire coast (UK).
The transport and installation of the foundations
will be executed by Boskalis' new offshore transport and
installation crane vessel for which an existing F-class heavy
transport vessel is currently being converted. The vessel will be
equipped with a 3,000-ton mast crane, dynamic positioning (DP2) and
additional accommodation for up to 150 people.
Boskalis' strategy is aimed at benefitting from
key macro-economic factors which drive worldwide demand in our
markets: expansion of the global economy, increase in energy
consumption, global population growth and the challenges that go
hand in hand with climate change. This project is related to the
development of generating renewable energy due to climate change
and increasing energy consumption.
