On Wednesday 25th November, MV Hawk discharged her final jacket foundation for the Moray East Offshore Wind Farm. OHT’s heavy transportation vessel carried her second load of ten jackets from Lamprell’s fabrication site in Hamriyah, UAE, arriving at the Port of Nigg in the Cromarty Firth on November 12th.
This marks the completion of OHT’s eight-month transportation campaign which also utilised their vessels MV Osprey and MV Albatross. The company transported a total of 48 three-legged jacket foundations averaging more than 1,000 tonnes and up to 80 metres in height. OHT were contracted by DEME Offshore, the project’s balance of plant EPCI contractor, in September 2019. Once complete, Moray Offshore Windfarm (East) will consist of 100 V164 – 9.5MW MHI Vestas turbines.
