Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL) has installed the first jacket foundation for the Beatrice offshore wind farm. Work is being carried out using the heavy lift vessel Oleg Strashnov.

Jacket installation activities are expected to continue until December 2017 and then resume in May 2018 after a short break, weather permitting.

The jackets, which are up to 80m tall, weigh in the region of 1,000 tonnes and have been fabricated at facilities in Fife and Newcastle, in the UK as well as facilities in Belgium and Denmark.

The installation of piles for the foundations is nearing completion and is being executed by SHL using another of its vessels, the Stanislav Yudin.

The Beatrice project is a joint venture between SSE Renewables Limited, SDIC Power of China and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. It is situated in the Outer Moray Firth off the east coast of Scotland and is expected to be operational by 2019.

The project features 84 Siemens 7MW wind turbines which will be inter-connected by an inner array grid of 91 33kV medium voltage alternating current submarine composite cables with a total length of up to 164km.
