4C is now TGS
We are excited to announce a significant milestone in 4C Offshore's journey. Our integration into the TGS family marks the beginning of a new era in offshore wind market intelligence.
The ship and the cranes are an integrated design which allows the maximum load to be hoisted in significant wave heights of up to 1.5m. In these circumstances, the freeboard is not less than 3 m anywhere on the vessel. In standby or transport modes, significant wave height can be as much as 7.0m. It is also worth noting that the maximum load can be lifted in water depths of around 5.0m. The four azimuth thrusters and the DP2 system allow installation work to be conducted in deeper water without the use of anchors. This guarantees flexibility and efficiency and also means that work can be carried out in zones where many pipelines and cables already lie on the bed, for example. The crane ship is also equipped with 4 main working anchors and winches and 4 secondary devices. The powerful and rapid ballast system can follow the hoisting operation exactly, allowing jobs to be completed quickly and continuously. The ship will be equipped with a so-called 'moonpool' for the purposes of operating a separate ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) for inspecting and supervising installation work on the seabed. Finally, the presence of heavy fenders allows containers to be loaded/unloaded at sea.
