Tidal Transit will be supplying its vessel Katie Louise and her crew to be used to wash the towers of the 88 wind turbines which make up the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, located between 9-17 miles off the coast of North Norfolk in the Greater Wash.
Static metal structures in the salty air of the North Sea attract a range of algae, seaweed and other marine detritus that needs to be washed away. The catamaran Katie is now being fitted-out with all the pressure washing equipment needed for this task. Weather permitting, the cleaning operation will start during March 2015 and it is estimated that there will be around 20 day's work, which is likely to be spread across an elapsed period of 45 days.
