GeoSea has awarded a contract to Granada Material Handling for the manufacture of cranes for the 336MW Galloper offshore wind farm off the Suffolk coast.
The Manchester-based firm will design, manufacture, deliver and commission 56 davit crane units at the £1.5bn project.
The specially designed units will be fitted to the transition pieces and will be capable of lifting loads of 1500kg.
Granada director Mark Sidwell said: “We are extremely pleased to have been awarded another prestigious UK wind farm project.
“Securing this contract has been a real team effort by the Granada Renewable product and service division. The Galloper contract is not only great news for Granada but also for our UK based supply chain.”
He added: “Granada has ambitious plans for this market sector and having supplied over 500 offshore davits is the UK’s leading offshore wind farm davit crane supplier.”
The Galloper project is a joint equity partnership of 25% each between RWE Innogy UK, UK Green Investment Bank, Siemens Financial Services and Macquarie Capital.
