The new offshore wind foundation installation vessel Alfa Lift has been floated out of dry dock at the China Merchants Heavy Industries (CMHI) shipyard where the semi-submersible is under construction for Norwegian-based Offshore Heavy Transport (OHT).
Designed by Ulstein, the MV Alfa Lift is touted as the largest and most innovative offshore wind foundation installation vessel in the world. With delivery scheduled in late 2021 or early 2022, the vessel will be used to install wind turbine monopiles and jackets at Equinor’s Dogger Bank, the largest offshore wind farm in the world located in the North Sea off England.
OHT reports that with the vessel launched, it will now be moored at the shipyard as work continues on the steel and internal fit-out. Meanwhile, key elements of the vessel’s Liebherr main crane have been completed in Rostock, Germany, including the slewing column and the A-frame. The parts are scheduled to leave Rostock early this month for delivery
