SAL Heavy Lift has signed a contract for the shipment of a total of 49 transition pieces for the Horns Rev 3 Offshore Wind Farm. The contract has been signed with GeoSea NV.

The assignment compiles transportation of TPs from fabrication yards in Aalborg, Denmark and Vlissingen, Netherlands to the project port of Esbjerg in Denmark. SAL claim its ability to meet a demanding project schedule made the decisive factor for GeoSea.

Within a short time, SAL must prepare a full HSSE and Quality plan, create the technical design and finalise the engineering work, execute procurement as well as fabrication of five TP grillages and one lifting tool and getting a vessel ready to load the first units.

Philip Stackmann, Project Manager – SAL, explains; “We are proud that GeoSea placed their trust in us for this time-critical project. Looking at a tight time schedule, we draw on past experience and expertise to ensure a safe and successful project. With our ready-made designs for TP grillages and TP lifting tools, which can be modified to the specific needs of our clients, it was possible to meet the demanding requirements of our client.”

GeoSea NV awarded SAL the job, following the contracting of the ongoing Hornsea Project One offshore wind farm project which SAL is also undertaking for the Belgian marine engineering house.

Justin Archard, Corporate Director – Commercial, states; “Being trusted as business partner for such an important project by GeoSea (DEME Group), shows that SAL is a state of the art technical heavy lift carrier, and adds to our successful track record in this business segment. I am proud that GeoSea chose to contract SAL again.”

This project follows an extensive list of similar projects that SAL Heavy Lift has executed for construction companies within the offshore wind industry. Starting with the transportation of 68 transition pieces (TPs) to the Veja Mate offshore wind farm in the summer of 2016, following a long engagement transporting 87 monopiles (MPs) and TPs for the Walney Extension offshore wind farm into mid-2017, up to the recent transport of 174 MPs and 68 TPs for Hornsea Project One shows a significant track record in this business segment.

Now SAL’s MV Lone will conduct the TP transport for Horns Rev 3. Each of the 49 TP’s measures 32,27m in height, has a dimension of 7,12m and has a unit weight of 530t. The project will start early July and run for a period of approximately 65 days.
