Heavy lift and transport services provider Mammoet has secured contracts for two large offshore wind projects in the US, both of which begin in 2023.
The two contracts cover a range of port scopes, including the load-in, load-out, handling and temporary storage of XXL monopiles, plus the pre-assembly of turbines in a US marshalling port.
Mammoet said its experience in offshore wind, presence in the US, and long track record in supplying specialised equipment as well as tailor-made solutions have “proven decisive” to confirm these awards.
“Offshore wind in the United States has been a long time coming,” said Director of Sales and Marketing for Mammoet in the USA and Mexico Rick Bohne.
“Our Mammoet colleagues have been executing these projects globally for some time, so this is an exciting opportunity to leverage the combination of our technical experience with our local market experience.”
Mammoet’s recent experience in the offshore wind sector includes the load-in, load-out and transport of jacket structures for Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm in Scotland, and component handling, storage, transport and crane lifting to assemble Hywind Tampen; the world’s largest floating wind farm.
Furthermore, Mammoet is contracted to supply onshore heavy lifting and transport for the staging and assembly of turbine components for Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the UK.
Lastly, Mammoet is also contracted to supply onshore heavy lifting and transport for the offloading, staging and installation of turbine components in France.
