Offshore Heavy Transport has secured a contract from DEME Offshore to transport foundations for the 950MW Moray East wind farm off Scotland.
OHT will deliver 48 three-legged units from UAE fabricator Lamprell to the port of Nigg.
Three semi-submersible vessels will be deployed on the job, which is due to be completed by September 2020.
OHT chief executive Torgeir Ramstad said: “We are very pleased to have been entrusted with this important task in the development of Moray East for DEME Offshore and EDPR.
“This contract award has come at the perfect time for OHT, as we approach the highly anticipated launch of our first vessel built specifically for the offshore wind market. The Alfa Lift design vessel will be the world’s largest, most innovative and efficient custom-built offshore wind foundation installation vessel.”
Moray East is due online in 2021.
