MV Bluefort, a floatel for the wind industry, has arrived at Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm in the Baltic Sea to provide a home for up to 200 workers as they commission the project’s 70 Adwen 5MW offshore wind turbines. The newly refurbished 142 metre MV Bluefort will provide accommodation throughout the commissioning phase of the 350MW Iberdrola-owned wind farm, sited some 30 kilometres north-east of the German island of Rugen.The vessel is supported by four CTVs and will be in operation 24 hours a day seven days a week.
