Offshore Heavy Transport (OHT) has netted a contract for the provision of transportation services on Statoil’s Hywind project.
The company will carry out the work on behalf of Technip and the scope includes preparation of transportation manual including design, procurement and installation of grillage as well as turnkey transportation of the five substructures from Spain to Norway.
The semi-submersible heavy lift vessel “Eagle” will alternate between carrying one or two foundations per voyage, commencing in the first half of 2017.
OHT’s engineering and operations departments in Oslo will perform all planning and engineering in close cooperation with Technip in Norway, the company said.
Technip was awarded the Hywind Marine Operations contract from Statoil earlier this year.
Torgeir Ramstad, chief executive of OHT, said: “This marks our entry into the offshore wind business, a market with enormous needs for logistical and transportation services. OHT has a long track record of providing a timely, predictable and safe service to its customers, and we are committed to demonstrating the same high performance to Technip in Norway and Statoil on this important assignment.”
