The first two months will see Samson B providing CTV support for the Pacific Osprey jack-up, operating on both the Burbo Bank and Rhyl Flats wind farms. Work on Rhyl Flats includes the lifting of the nacelle on the wind turbine, which is the first time this operation has been carried out offshore.
The 17.5m LOA Samson B features a 24m2 forward cargo deck and a 14m2 area aft. Powered by twin 872 hp Caterpillar diesels, the vessel can reach offshore sites at a cruising speed of 23 knots.
