US fabricator Gulf Island has signed a contract with US Wind for a met mast tower and platform for the Maryland offshore wind farm zone.
Gulf Island Fabrication president and chief executive Kirk Meche said: “These projects support our efforts to diversify our company within our reporting segments as we continue to look for ways to provide opportunities for our employees and value-added returns for our shareholders.”
US Wind is planning to build a 268MW project in federal waters some 27km off the coast of Ocean City.
The developer aims to complete construction of the $1.4bn wind farm in 2020.
