Friede & Goldman’s vast experience from over 100 built jack-ups is applied with Tetrahedron’s crane to produce a superior feeder vessel solution which optimizes existing logistic infrastructure. For the United States wind market, the NewWindShape solution halves CapEx and spread cost as compared to traditional WTIV’s.
The NewWindShape solution serves moored feeder barges, stand-off feeder barges, and feeder barges equipped with dynamic positioning.
Due to the all rigging on deck-level-principle and superior lift-off-speed,
motion compensation systems are not required.
NewWindShape, a dedicated feeder solution combining proven jack-up technology and award-winning crane design for the offshore wind industry. The solution maximizes the use of existing United States infrastructure reducing required CapEx and spread cost by over 50%.
