Jan De Nul Group and Vroon Group have signed agreements to transfer part of the offshore business of MPI to Jan De Nul Group.

The transfer includes ownership of the offshore jack-up crane vessel MPI Discovery together with its crew, as well as a number of MPI’s employees.

“Jan De Nul Group executed several offshore wind farm projects across Europe. To further support our expansion in Europe but also worldwide, we continue investing in our offshore wind resources. The MPI Discovery will considerably strengthen our position on the market,” says Philippe Hutse, Offshore Director at Jan De Nul Group.

The jack-up vessel MPI Discovery was built in 2011 and was specifically designed to transport, lift and install offshore wind turbines and foundations. Features on the vessel include a 1,000-tonnes main crane, plus a 50-tonnes auxiliary crane, a maximum operating depth of 40m, a deadweight of 6,000 tonnes, and accommodation for 112 persons. The vessel is 140m long and is equipped with six legs to lift itself above the sea level for stable working without the impact of waves.

The company recently announced the award of the Northwester 2 offshore wind farm in Belgium which is to be kicked off in June 2019. And earlier this year, Jan De Nul Group entered as the first European company the Asian offshore wind farm market, signing contracts for two offshore wind farm projects in Taiwan: the Formosa 1 Phase 2 project for Formosa Wind Power Co. and the Greater Changhua project commissioned by Taiwan Power Company.
