Offshore wind jacket lifts via ring crane keep work going, whatever the tide
Quayside load-out flexibility optimizes the offshore installation campaign Offshore wind projects taking place in macrotidal environments, such as around the UK, must deal with water level changes of more than four meters every six hours. This extreme tidal range is difficult to compensate for using ballasting, so projects that require load-in or load-out of large jackets are delayed when waters are too high or low, leaving the installation vessel waiting. This was the challenge facing G...
New Energy Recovery Facility Fights Climate Change With Renewable Vehicle Fuel
