Project at a glance

In November 2020, Seaway Hawk arrived at the Port of Nigg, carrying her second load of ten jacket foundations from the UAE, for the Moray East Offshore Windfarm. This concluded a successful eight-month transportation campaign which utilised three of the company’s specialist heavy transport vessels, with Seaway Osprey, Seaway Albatross and Seaway Hawk working in rotation.

Seaway7 transported a total of 48 three-legged jackets from Lamprell’s Hamriyah fabrication yard to the Scottish installation port. The foundations averaged more than 1,000 tonnes in weight and 80m in height.

Highlights

Jacket foundations are the largest in deployment for offshore wind turbine, averaging 2,500 tonnes in weight and 93m in height.
Each of the 14 journey from Goseong to Anping, took an average of 4 days.
Seaway Osprey constantly sailed back and forth during the 7-month transportation campaign.

‘The jacket foundations are the largest in deployment for offshore wind turbines. We are very pleased to bring our extensive experience and proud to have played a key role in executing the transportation in a safe and efficient manner.’
