MPI Adventure installs final blade at Amrumbank West

MPI Offshore earlier this week installed the final blade of the 80-turbine Amrumbank West Offshore Wind Farm. The wind-turbine-installation vessel (WTIV) MPI Adventure carried out this work as part of a long term charter agreement with E.On.

The successful monopile-foundation-installation campaign was undertaken by another of MPI's WTIVs, the MPI Discovery. Following mobilisation and preparation of MPI Adventure in January this year, installation of the Siemens 3.6MW turbines commenced in February, with the vessels operating in water depths of approximately 25m.

MPI Adventure will shortly return to the Tees Base in the North East of UK, a facility that is becoming something of an offshore-wind hub. After her demobilisation from turbine-installation duties she will return to sea in October for her next project of decommissioning works.

The Amrumbank West Offshore Wind Farm is situated approximately 35 km north of Helgoland and 37 km west of Amrum in the German Exclusive Economic Zone of the North Sea. When fully operational later this year, Amrumbank West will have an annual capacity of 288 megawatts generated from 80 SWT-3.6-120 Siemens turbines. That's enough renewable energy to power 300,000 households.
