KenzFigee nets Neart na Gaoithe contract

By: Tom Russell 10/03/2020 KenzFigee

Equipment General

KenzFigee has been awarded a contract by HSM Offshore BV in close cooperation with Iv-Offshore & Energy, for delivery of two 3-ton electric hydraulic Ram Luffing offshore cranes destined for the ESB and EDF Renewables UK owned offshore topside platform for the Neart na Gaoithe wind farm.

Both heavy duty 1300 type Ram Luffing design cranes will be fully identical and are designed for North Sea offshore operations. The cranes have a box boom with a length of 12 meters, a capacity of 3 tons from deck, as well as supply boat, covering sea state 3 according EN13852-1.

The Ram Luffing cranes will be built, assembled and tested at the premises of KenzFigee in Zaandam, the Netherlands. In June 2020 they will be shipped to the construction yard of HSM Offshore in Schiedam for installation on the offshore substation topsides.

The Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm is located 12 miles off the coast of Fife in Scotland. Once fully operational, it is expected to generate electricity for around 375,000 homes, or all domestic properties in a city the size of Edinburgh, and to displace 400,000 tons of CO2 annually. It was awarded a CfD by LCCC in February 2015, with a strike price of £114.39/MWh. Developer EDF Energy is in the process prepping the project for construction, with works expected to start in 2020 and the first commercial supply of electricity in 2023.
