It has been showcased in an idea vessel referred to as Vitruvian, which is able to transporting and putting in monopiles weighing as much as 5,000 tonnes. Monopiles with such a weight and 100-130 metres size might be wanted for the subsequent era of offshore wind generators of 15-20 MW which are anticipated to enter the market in 2024-2030, the corporate famous.
Eradicating the dependency on massive heavy-lift cranes, the answer will scale back prices and time required, in addition to decrease operational dangers throughout loading in port, up-ending, lifting and set up offshore, in line with the announcement.
