Smulders has loaded two offshore substation jackets for the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 wind projects onto barges at its Newcastle yard for transport to the Polish Baltic Sea.
Smulders transports first secondary steel sets for Hornsea 3 to Port of Tyne, marking a key step before offshore installation in the UK.
Bałtyk 3 offshore substation topside has been moved from the production hall to the yard at Smulders’ Vlissingen site, where outfitting and transformer installation will continue ahead of next year’s load-out.
The OSS Jasmund topside and jacket have completed load-out and are prepared for transportation to the Baltic Sea. The 4,500-ton topside and 72m jacket were built by HSM Offshore Energy and Smulders with support from a tailor-made grillage.
