Port of Nigg has completed work in relation to the first phase of the Moray West offshore wind project, off Scotland.
A total of 62 transition pieces have been preassembled and marshalled from Port of Nigg’s East Quay, destined for installation offshore by Deme Group’s Apollo jack-up vessel.
This scope of work has been ably supported by Global Port Services and Global Energy Services, which have provided onsite services including craneage, logistics, mounting ancillary equipment, as well as inspection and repair.
In the next phase of Ocean Winds’ project, Siemens Gamesa will operate from Port of Nigg’s South Quay for the preassembly and marshalling of wind turbine components.
The tower sections, nacelles, and blades are being stored throughout the site ahead of their installation by Cadeler’s Wind Orca jack-up vessel.
Port of Nigg and Global Energy Group congratulate all the teams involved for their collaborative, safe and efficient operations to “deliver this groundbreaking project”.
