AND TIDAL TRANSIT TAKES FULL ADVANTAGE… Kitty Petra goes from Seawork to first RWE Innogy UK charter
Docking, Norfolk
Tidal Transit's newest personnel transfer vessel (PTV), Kitty Petra, will now begin the first of her planned charter contracts after making her debut at Seawork International 2014.
GWYNT Y MÔR OFFSHORE WINDFARM She started working for RWE Innogy UK at the Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm in late June.
Gwynt y Môr is a £2 billion+ project consisting of 160 turbines in Liverpool Bay off the coast of North Wales; construction is due to be completed later this year.
“We are all delighted that it has been possible to finalise the first contract for Kitty Petra so soon after her arrival in the UK," comments Leo Hambro from Tidal Transit. “For the duration of this initial charter, she will be operating out of Mostyn in North Wales, carrying construction workers, tools and equipment to the wind farm.
“This West Coast contract is a first for Tidal Transit vessels; our other three PTVs, Ginny Louise, Eden Rose and Tia Elizabeth, all of which are built to the same high technical specification as Kitty Petra, are chartered to offshore wind farms off the East Coast. This is our first charter to RWE Innogy UK and indicates that we have no geographical limitations.
SECOND CHARTER BUSINESS DONE – ON THE WIND
Marine renewables is undergoing a period of change, with the offshore wind industry once again generating a great deal of business at Seawork.
Some of the highlights of the exhibition included…
• The signing of an agreement between Burgess Marine and Mainprize Offshore initially to build two 25m wind farm support vessels
• Brightlingsea-based CTruk held a naming ceremony of its 20T multi-purpose catamaran Ocean Warrior, the second CTruk 20T MPC for owner Scott Wharton of Ocean Transit Services
• Cowes-based South Boats IOW handed over its 24m wind farm service vessel, Seacat Ranger, to Seacat Services
• Alicat Workboats delivered a 23m crew transfer vessel to Dalby Offshore
Tidal Transit took ownership of its fourth Personnel Transport Vessel, Kitty Petra, from the Spanish Mercurio Shipyard.
“A second charter for Kitty Petra is in the final stages of negotiation and should be in place by the time the Gwynt y Môr contract finishes in late September 2014. This will see Kitty Petra fully employed throughout the winter."
