Wind Turbine Installation Vessel BLUE AMBER

The installation of 8MW++ wind turbines further offshore in water depth up to 60 meters is not a dream anymore. Neptun Ship Design offers an innovative solution to wind farm developers, wind turbine manufactures and operators around the world. The Jack-Up vessel “Blue Amber” is specifically designed for the efficient and safe installation of the future generation wind turbines. The DP2-dynamic positioning of the WTIV provides unique capabilities for jacking close to the jacket foundation clearance zone of the offshore installation. The vessel’s efficient energy management system in combination with the clean design notation promises an environmental friendly and sustainable ownership. The 4 leg vessel is able to transport 6 turbine sets, consisting of tower, nacelle and blades. The Installation of one turbine set on a jacket structure will require maximum 5 heavy lifts each. The main crane with SWL 2000To@45m and trolley / tugger arrangement on boom is operated by frequency controlled machinery under deck. Comfort class accommodation is provided for 120 persons. A save crew change is guaranteed via helicopter platform with integrated Jet A1 refueling system. Close development coordination and cooperation with market leaders for the main equipment packages makes it now possible to present you a custom made vessel concept, which is focused on lowering the levelised cost of energy -LCoE-, which is the main target of the offshore wind industry.
