ACHIEVING SO MUCH IN SUCH A SHORT TIME
Since 2009, Seajacks vessels have installed more than 260 wind turbine generators, which provides more than 800MW to the grid, and in that time they have developed experienced offshore marine crews and engineering teams.
‘Seajacks Scylla’, due for delivery 2014 and 2015 respectively.
CURRENT PROJECT Currently, Seajacks is acting as Main Installation Contractor for WindMW’s
PARTNERSHIPS Seajacks has also partnered with other industry leaders to provide a range of end- to-end services to its client, including the installation of scour protection and noise mitigation measures. These measures ensured the company could install the components efficiently with the least impact on the local marine environment.
LIFTING SERVICES An all-encompassing strategy of lifting services throughout the project was delivered. This strategy included the production of lift plans, onsite management for lifting operations, project guidance and advice at the pre-engineering, engineering and execution stages, project method statements and procedures, risk assessment for all types of lifting and project operations, onshore and offshore site audits and report.
VITAL EXPERIENCE
Working at Meerwind has provided the company with vital experience for technically challenging future projects. With an expected completion date of February 2014, this eighty 3.6MW Siemens turbine project is well on track.
Using this experience, Seajacks is dedicated to becoming the leading service provider for the installation, maintenance, repair, hook-up and commissioning of offshore wind farms in Europe.
5 VESSELS BY 2015 Seajacks currently owns and operates 3 self-propelled jack-up vessels, ‘Seajacks Kraken’, ‘Seajacks Leviathan’ and ‘Seajacks Zaratan’ and have commissioned two additional vessels, ‘Seajacks Hydra’ and
Meerwind Offshore Wind Park in the German Bight, supplying Seajacks Leviathan and Seajacks Zaratan to work together in tandem installing all 80 monopiles, transition pieces and WTGs at the site.

NEW SURVEY VESSEL FOR OSIRIS PROJECTS
Specialist seabed mapping company Osiris Projects recently launched the 5th vessel in their fleet, the 14.0m GRP catamaran MV Proteus.
SPECIFICATION
Designed to provide an excellent working platform for coastal survey operations, MV Proteus can work up to 60 miles from a safe haven under MCA Category 2 and has a maximum speed of 24 knots. The vessel benefits from a shallow draft of just 1.0m making her ideal for inshore operations, while the hull design ensures exceptional manoeuvrability at both low and high speeds and incorporates a low drag profile providing excellent fuel economy.
EQUIPMENT The vessel is equipped with high grade positioning systems including an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and acoustic Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) acoustic positioning system for towfish tracking. The large back deck features a moon pool fitted with a hydraulic retractable hydrodynamic gondola designed to house a high grade multibeam echo sounder systems.
Proteus is permanently mobilised with an AGO-CSW7 electric sonar winch which when combined with the hydraulic A-Frame, allows for the safe launch and recovery of geophysical equipment including side scan sonar, sub bottom profilers and marine magnetometers.
LIFTING WINCH A separate hydraulic lifting winch enables oceanographic and benthic survey equipment to be launched and recovered from the vessel including small inspection class ROV/ drop down camera, various grab sampling equipment and benthic trawls. Additional custom designed over side mounts and davits allows for the vessel to be configured for a range of client requirements. This capability optimises consistency between datasets acquired by Proteus and Osiris Projects’ 24hr vessels; 27.5m DP1 flagship ‘MV Bibby Tethra’ and 26.5m ‘MV Chartwell’.
SISTER VESSELS
Proteus is the 4th custom build project undertaken by Osiris Projects, following the launch of 12.0m ‘MV Freja’ in 2002,
