The COSCO Shipping semi-submersible heavy transport vessel XIANG AN KOU has continued its offshore wind logistics voyage after completing cargo delivery in Leith, UK.

The vessel previously carried the second batch of foundation components for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm. The cargo included nine transition pieces and three jacket foundations loaded at contractor CFHI’s fabrication yard in Zhuhai, China.

After the successful cargo delivery in Leith, XIANG AN KOU proceeded to Everingen for bunkering and the loading of new cribbing and steel materials on board.

As of 27 April, the vessel is located in the western Mediterranean and is sailing to Port Said, according to ship tracking service data.

XIANG AN KOU sails under the flag of Liberia and measures about 216.7 m in overall length with a 43 m beam.
