Navantia will update and upgrade Fred Olsen Windcarrier’s vessel Brave Tern at the facilities of Navantia Shiprepairs Ferrol Estuary.
Brave Tern is a jack-up for the installation of wind turbine generators and associated equipment in offshore wind farms and the purpose of this project is to increase its current capacity for such purpose.
The project comprises a first phase during most of 2023 for material procurement, engineering development and prefabrication, and a second phase for the work on board after the vessel’s arrival at the yard in the period late 2023 and early 2024.
The programmed stay at the yard is about seven months, with around half of that time in drydock, so the work will be carried out partly alongside a repair berth and partly in drydock, both in the yard’s facilities Fene and Ferrol.
