Mammoet transports floating wind turbine (Heavy Lift)

Mammoet performed the load-out of the DemoSATH floating wind turbine at the port of Bilbao, Spain.

The Saitec-manufactured DemoSATH floating unit is a prototype for energy companies and part of a floating offshore wind pilot project that aims to prove the viability of creating large-scale offshore wind farms in deep waters. HLPFI previously reported on the load-out “We are well-placed to support the growth of the offshore wind sector in Spain and around the world.

Estonian Energy Company Developing 1.2 GW Offshore Wind Farm (Offshore WIND)

Estonian energy group Utilitas is developing an offshore wind project whose first phase would have an installed capacity of 1200 MW and has now contracted ...

Since ports will also play an essential role in developing the offshore wind farm, Ramboll will also analyse the logistics of construction, as well as the possible alternatives for the construction and operation, and maintenance. In addition to the wind farm’s technical solutions, the Danish engineering and consultancy company will also propose a concept for the electrical solution, including the location and technical parameters of the cables, as well as the location and size of the substations. Ramboll will analyse the technical solutions for the project, named Saare-Liivi, as part of the study that will confirm the technical and economic feasibility of the offshore wind farm and support the environmental impact assessment process.
