SECTION SPONSOR


AT THE FOREFRONT OF LOGISTICS SUPPORT


Since its UK formation in 1986 LV Shipping has been at the forefront of providing logistics support for many of the North Sea oil and gas developments.


WIND INDUSTRY


In more recent years the skills and efficiencies developed in oil and gas have been transferred to the burgeoning UK wind farm logistics sector, with particularly focus on the Humber and Tees.


The company counts facilities at Immingham and Middlesbrough amongst it’s eleven UK bases and has been ideally placed to assist various operators in many of the recent wind farm developments.


HUMBER GATEWAY WINDFARM (HGW) – CASE STUDY


The LV Shipping Agency Department on the Humber and Tees have assisted in general agency, purchasing, and chartering for multiple stages of the HGW installation.


They acted as ships agents for the mobilisation of the vessel MPI Resolution, currently working in the HGW field installing foundations. During this mobilisation the agency department advised that the piling hammer could be shipped assembled and upended.


The client agreed that this would be a good idea as this would save deck space during the mobilisation meaning that other work could be carried out. Therefore, the time used to complete the mobilisation would be less, thus saving the client hire days for the vessel. LV chartered, loaded and controlled river movements resulting in smooth and cost effective delivery of this integral piece of equipment.


MPI ADVENTURE MOBILISATION AGENTS


LV is currently also acting as agents for the vessel MPI Adventure mobilisation which is mobilising for the installation of sub-stations for the HGW.


In addition to its involvement on the Tees and Humber, LV will also act as agents for the vessel whilst she is in Sunderland collecting the sub-station, as well as supplying site welfare. The company will also provide various plant for the site in Teesside whilst the vessel collects the substation jackets from Belfast.


The company will also assist the client when collecting the foundation product from TAG, who were awarded part of the monopole contract for HGW; this will involve various barge movements on and around the Humber River.


ADDITIONAL SERVICES


In addition to the above they remain very busy supplying the project with equipment (grease, plant, tools etc) by workboat from Grimsby.


As well as the HGW project the company has been active on Westermost Rough where they mobilised the vessel INNOVATION on behalf of Geosea, part of their involvement; including supply of site welfare, security and layout.


CURRENT WORK


The company’s Immingham office is currently working with the vessel Toisa Voyager supplying equipment for their client on board; the vessel is currently involved on Westermost Rough carrying out cabling operations.
