Mammoet has signed a contract with Buss Ports to marshal wind turbine generator foundations for RWE’s Nordseecluster A offshore wind project in Germany and the Thor offshore wind farm in Denmark.Under this contract, Mammoet will manage the phased load-in, temporary storage, and load-out of 116 monopiles for both wind farm projects at Buss Terminal Eemshaven in the Netherlands. The largest foundations will weigh around 1,700 tonnes and measure 96 metres in length. The monopiles will be offloaded onto the quay using a RoRo linkspan ramp and transported using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) fitted with saddles. The SPMT trailers will then drive the monopiles onto storage dunes, ready to be called off and shipped to the wind farms located in the German and Danish waters of the North Sea.
