38 Jacket Foundations delivered by MV BigLift Baffin to Van Oord’s Aeolus on Saint-Brieuc OWF

MV BigLift Baffin has delivered 38 jacket foundations at Saint-Brieuc Offshore Wind Farm (OWF). BigLift Shipping transported the foundations from El Ferrol, Spain to Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc for the Saint-Brieuc offshore windfarm, 16.3 kilometres off the coast of Brittany.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art dynamic positioning system and her 125m x 42m flush deck, BigLift’s heavy transport vessel BigLift Baffin was the right vessel for the job.

Between June 4 and October 5, the vessel executed ten shipments, carrying the jacket foundations on deck; eight trips with four and two with three pieces. The three-legged jackets are 70m high and each weighs approximately 1,100tt.

The jackets were lifted and seafastened on to purpose-built quick-release systems to minimize time during the lifting operation in the field.
