Combifloat has been supporting a large heavy lift contractor on Windplan Blauw over summer. Like before, the jacking systems of a C-7 series modular jack up have been retrofitted on a barge for stabilization and fixation (‘bearing spud mode’), allowing the contractor to deploy a large crawler crane to install wind turbines. Previously a similar approach was taken for windfarm Fryslan. Another good example of this application was seen in Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea Development Project as featured online and below.
