HISTORY
Built on 169 years of offshore and marine experience, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier was established in 2008 and took delivery of the two self-propelled jack-up vessels 4 years ago. Both Tern vessels underwent upgrades during 2016. The upgrades included extending the jacking legs by 14m, making the legs 92.4m long. The cranes were prepared for a boom extension
of up to 20m. This included both an insert piece for the crane boom and an extension of the A-frame. The lifting height is now 120m from the main deck.
BLOCK ISLAND OFFSHORE WINDFARM
One of the top highlights to date has been the installation on the Block Island Offshore Windfarm – the first offshore windfarm to ever be installed in U.S. waters. The company’s scope of work included the transportation of 5 GE nacelles across the Atlantic and installation of the complete Haliade 150- 6MW turbines at Block Island. They worked closely with American companies to deliver the project, in particular with U.S. flagged feeder barges for the transportation of towers and blades from shore. The project was safely completed in just over 70 days, ahead of schedule.
FAST TRACK PROJECTS
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier has also undertaken several short o&m fast track projects across numerous locations in Germany and the UK, with project assignment to execution within a short timeframe. These projects were carried out smoothly and efficiently. During the Global Tech I project,
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier made a record performance in the transportation and installation of 8 turbines in 1 week, including 10 hours transfer time each way to the windfarm. The flexibility of the vessels was key to achieving this operational target.
