GAC to provide logistics and shipping support for windfarm project in Scotland
SEAWAY Heavy Lifting (SHL) has selected GAC UK to provide a range of shipping, logistics and support solutions for the construction and installation of 84 new turbines as part of a major windfarm expansion project in the Outer Moray Firth in Scotland.
SHL, the engineering, procurement, construction and installation contractor, will design, supply and install the piled foundations, jacket substructures and inter-array cables for the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd (BOWL) expansion project that will raise generating capacity almost six-fold. SHL will also transport and install the offshore substations.
SHL has appointed GAC UK to provide ship agency and handling of vessels delivering materials and equipment for the construction work, with a location in the Cromarty Firth being used as a storage hub for grout deliveries to the offshore site support for other vessels involved in the project, such as multi-cats and barges at ports in the UK.
Operations director at SHL, Michiel Goedkoop, said in a statement: "GAC's understanding of the quality and efficiency our operations require and the time-critical nature of support our sector demands, and their proven dependability, were key in the decision to award them the contract."
