Boskalis has secured a multidisciplinary role in the development of the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland. On behalf of its client, Boskalis will carry out a large number of the activities contributing to the development of this renewable energy project in the coming 12 months. The contract was awarded by Ocean Winds.
Boskalis has already carried out offshore geophysical site survey that also included survey for identification of unexploded ordnance. In the coming months, Boskalis will transport a large number of the monopiles from the Far East to discharge at the port of Invergordon, near the project site. These monopiles will be transported on the heavy transport vessel White Marlin. Prior to the installation of the foundations, Boskalis will carry out the seabed preparation activities by installing a layer of rock that will act as a filter and scour protection for the monopiles. Subsequently, Boskalis will deploy its DP crane vessel Bokalift 2 for the installation campaign. s a part of its campaign, Boskalis will also install two substations with their respective transition pieces.
The 882 MW Moray West offshore wind farm is located off the east coast of Scotland in the Moray Firth. Ocean Winds, is a50:50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and Engie dedicated to offshore wind energy.
