‘World’s largest’ offshore wind installer

The vessel has been specifically designed to meet the demands associated with working the forthcoming UK Round 3, Scottish territorial waters and the other North West European markets. Seajacks also has options for the construction of an additional two units.

Named Seajacks Scylla, the new vessel is based on the Gusto MSC NG14000X design and will be the fifth new self-propelled jack-up to join the Seajacks fleet since 2009. The vessel will be equipped with a 1,500 tonne leg-encircling crane, incorporate useable deck space in excess of 5,000m2, and have over 8,000 tonne of available variable load.

Sailing at speeds of 12 knots or over, Scylla will be outfitted with 105m long legs that have the ability to install components in water depths of up to 65m. Seajacks is an offshore installation contractor that services both the offshore wind and oil and gas industries. Based in the UK, the company recently expanded from its core market in the North Sea and North West Europe by establishing Seajacks Japan as a platform from which to service the Asian market. Seajacks recently completed the successful installation of all 80 monopiles at the German Meerwind Offshore Wind Park on schedule, despite having experienced significantly worst weather than anticipated this winter. As part of its role as main installation contractor, Seajacks is responsible for the installation of all turbines and foundations, as well as the scour installation, grouting and noise mitigation for the project.
