Tese same ships will also be used for


the maintenance and repair of wind farms once the windmills have been erected and are operational and this market could also prove lucrative as Mr Stolberg estimates that there will be 25,000MW output by 2030 in Germany alone. “We want to expand our involvement in


the fast growing offshore segment and offer the combined transportation and installation units that the market is missing today. In fact, the economical power, the technical know-how and the innovative spirit which both partners combine in the joint venture Beluga Hochtief Offshore allows us to build the largest and most specialised jack-up vessels the market knows today,” claimed Mr Stolberg.

Beluga Shipping is also planning the


construction of two cable-laying ships and two supply vessels for the offshore wind farm sector. “However, for the time being we are not yet in such an advanced state as to be able to announce any details regarding where they are going to be built at what costs,” explained Mr Stolberg. NA
