Harlyn completes Moray West substation transfer

The two substations have now arrived in the Cromarty Firth to await their installation at the wind farm.

Harlyn Solutions has delivered the necessary engineering, vessels and marine support to perform the complex turnkey operations as well as the upcoming offshore sea fastening release prior to transfer to installation vessel and then installation on their monopiles.

“Harlyn is thrilled to have secured this extensive scope in an exciting project, and completed the primary phase,” said Hamish Adamson, managing director, Harlyn Solutions.

“The scope fits into our core goals as a company to offer turn-key solutions to support the project.”

With full operation expected in early 2025, the wind farm in the Outer Moray Firth, Scotland, will provide 882MW of power from its 60 turbines.

The substations will shortly be loaded out to the installation vessel prior to the offshore installation and hook up.

“As the Moray West project progresses through installation, we are delighted that Harlyn Solutions has safely delivered the two topsides to the Port of Nigg, ready for the final journey to the wind farm site,” said Pete Geddes, Moray West project director.

“The project has progressed a multi contracting approach across the foundations scopes. This has meant that we have developed our understanding of the marine transport sector, including finding and selecting Harlyn as a thoroughly competent UK supplier.”
