Seaway7’s semi-submersible heavy lift vessel Seaway Eagle has loaded a Pile Installation Frame at Volos, Greece. After seafastening is completed, the vessel will sail to Invergordon, UK, for discharge.
Seaway Eagle has a free deck length of 113.7 m and a free deck area of 4,700 m², with accommodation for 38 people. IMO 7931454, Seaway Eagle is designed to transport offshore and onshore facilities using float on/off, skid on/off, roll on/off, and lift on/off operations.
The Pile Installation Frame is a structural guide system used during offshore foundation installation. It supports accurate pile positioning and vertical alignment before and during driving into the seabed, including for large steel monopiles or jacket piles.
The frame also stabilizes the pile against waves and currents and provides temporary support while installation equipment, such as hammers or lifting systems, completes the driving process. Such equipment is commonly used in offshore wind projects and marine infrastructure works where foundation accuracy is critical to structural integrity.
