MPI Adventure contracted
Specialist offshore wind construction vessel ‘MPI Adventure’ has been contracted to assist with the commissioning works on the offshore substation of the Sandbank Offshore Wind Farm in German waters.
MPI Adventure will provide accommodation services, lifting operations and provision of supplies. The Sandbank Offshore Wind Farm is located approximately 90km west of the island of Sylt in the German Bight. It will consist of 72 4.0MW turbines which will also be installed by MPI Adventure as of summer 2016.
MPI, a UK-headquartered, Netherlands-owned company is confident that MPI Adventure will make a valuable contribution to the commissioning works. MPI is active in the offshore wind-turbine-installation and -maintenance markets with a range of vessels, equipment and service offerings.
MPI Offshore, based in Stokesley (UK) and Breskens (the Netherlands), has been pioneering the offshore wind-turbine-installation business since 2003, when the first dedicated wind-turbine-installation vessel, MPI Resolution, was delivered. During the past 12 years MPI has been involved in numerous windfarm construction projects in nearly all countries around the North and Baltic Seas.
MPI operates four dedicated wind-turbine-installation vessels, as well as a fleet of 14 workboats. In addition, MPI provides a range of engineering, consulting, manpower and equipment rental services.
