SAL, as part of the JSI Alliance, has completed a major offshore wind monopile transportation campaign with the final monopiles delivered safely to BOW Terminal in Flushing, Netherlands.

The campaign ran for more than 1.5 years and involved hundreds of operational days, extensive engineering work and close coordination between teams onshore and at sea. For SAL, the project represented its largest full-scope monopile transportation campaign in the role of HTV carrier.

The operation was prepared well before the first sailings in 2025 and became one of the company’s most extensive offshore wind transport projects in recent years. Each shipment required tailored engineering, dedicated transport equipment and detailed operational planning.

A key part of the campaign included the development of reusable monopile saddle sets. Port turnaround performance was also a major focus, with teams working to keep deliveries safe, reliable and efficient throughout the campaign.

The project involved vessel crews, engineers, operations teams, port captains, clients and partners. Beyond its operational scale, SAL said the campaign also carried personal significance for many involved, as it contributed to offshore wind development and the wider energy transition.
