In 2022, Lamprell was awarded the fabrication and transportation contract for a total of 62 transition pieces for the offshore wind farm. 10 of those units were loaded onboard COSCO Shipping Heavy Transport’s vessel Tai An Kou in an upright position for delivery from Hamriyah in the UAE towards the marshalling yard in Nigg, UK.

Global Energy Group’s (GEG) port of Nigg in the Cromarty Firth was selected by Ocean Winds as the marshalling location for the transition pieces towards the end of last year. In addition to the transition pieces, Siemens Gamesa selected the port for the wind turbine marshalling and pre-assembly work for the project.
