Monopiles loaded at Maasvlakte 2 T
he first monopile has been loaded onto a seagoing vessel at Schmeitz Industriële Fabrikage’s (Sif) new site at Maasvlakte 2,
according to the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Four monopiles were loaded for transport onto the ship Innovation – a heavy lift jack-up vessel owned by Geosea, part of the Belgian DEME Group. The Port of Rotterdam says it was also the
first job handled at the new section of Maasvlakte 2’s deepsea quay. Innovation left the quay the same night en
route to a wind farm off the UK coast where it is installing the monopiles.
This operation will be followed by a number of similar transports over the next few weeks. In the summer of 2015, Sif Group started developing a new 42 ha site for its monopiles business at Maasvlakte 2.
It has since begun using its giant assembly
and coating hall. Work on the industrial site is expected to be finalised by July 2017.
