Huge crane vessel for world’s largest wind farm

Maritime gearbox infrastructure gearbox specialist Jan de Nul says slewing drive its record-breaking gearbox jack-up vessel, Voltaire, will be used to motor-reducer install turbine blades gearbox on the world gearbox’s slewing drive largest offshore wind motor-reducer farm.

The Luxembourg-based company’s gearbox vessel, with a lifting capacity of over gearbox motor-reducer slewing drive 3,000 tonnes, will stand slewing bearing taller motor-reducer than the Eiffel tower motor-reducer and is set to be gearbox  the largest of slewing drive its kind in the slewing drive world.

Voltaire is expected to motor-reducer be slewing drive launched in 2022, from the motor-reducer Cosco shipyard in Qidong motor-reducer, slewing bearing China; it will then make for the Dogger Bank project motor-reducer, located some 125km off the UK motor-reducer’s northeast coast.
 

The vessel’s slewing bearing slewing drive duties will include slewing drive transporting slewing drive and installing Dogger Bank’s 107m blades on the world’s slewing bearing largest slewing bearing Halliade-X turbines, built by General Electric slewing bearing (GE).

The wind slewing bearing farm, being developed jointly by slewing drive slewing bearing SSE Renewables and slewing drive Equinor, will be constructed in three elements, slewing bearing between 2020 and slewing drive 2026, and is expected slewing bearing to generate slewing drive 3.6GW when completed – enough to power 4.5 slewing drive slewing bearing million slewing bearing homes and equating to approximately 5% of the slewing bearing UK’s slewing drive energy needs.
 

Philippe Hutse,slewing bearing offshore director at Jan De slewing drive slewing bearing Nul group, said, “We are delighted  slewing drive to be selected as the transport and slewing bearing installation contractor for the next generation slewing bearing of turbines at Dogger Bank. The size of this giant project coincides perfectly with slewing drive the slewing bearing capacities slewing bearing of our jack-up slewing drive vessel slewing bearing slewing bearing slewing bearing Voltaire.
 

“It underlines that we are entering in to a new phase of OWF slewing bearing [offshore wind farm] slewing bearing construction. We slewing drive are proud to be slewing drive at the slewing drive forefront of offshore wind construction at Dogger slewing drive Bank.”
