Huisman has announced the signing of a contract with Keppel AmFELS for the delivery of a Leg Encircling Crane (LEC) for Dominion Energy’s Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV), Charybdis.
With a 2200 t lifting capacity, its lightweight design, 130 m boom but compact house, the LEC is suitable for the installation of next generation offshore wind turbines and foundations. It will ensure that Dominion Energy’s Charybdis will be fit-for-purpose for the installation of large-scale offshore wind developments in the US. With several GW of offshore wind capacity to be installed along the country’s East Coast in the next decade, access to Jones Act compliant offshore WTIV is of strategic importance to the American offshore wind market.
