Cargotec Proceeds with MacGregor Sale as Offshore Wind Dispute Gets Resolved
the traditional offshore solutions business has performed well and it has been profitable, projects related to two new offshore wind solutions have caused losses due to their pilot nature and technical challenges, Cargotec said.MacGregor has therefore now decided to stop offering the monopile installation solution and it is no longer in MacGregor’s sales portfolio. Another offshore wind solution, containing advanced technologies for the servicing of offshore wind turbines, is still a part of MacGregor offering.There are approximately ten of these smaller loss-making offshore pilot projects to

help cut one million manhours offshore. This enabled the Johan Sverdrup partnership to deliver a Plan for development and operation (PDO) for Phase 1 of the development which included a three-to-six months earlier start-up of the field than would have been possible with the alternative topside installation solution. At the same time this helped cut the estimated costs for the PDO by almost NOK 1 billion.The drilling platform on stream from the autumn of 2018The Johan Sverdrup drilling platform is now fully completed and 85 percent fully tested. The last phase - hook-up and testing – starts now
SEA-3250-LT: Innovation in Offshore Wind Installations
role in the offshore wind installation market, delivering designs and equipment for a wide range of jack-up and other vessels responsible for close to 80 percent of the installations within this market. Meet the SEA-3250-LT The SEA-3250-LT is a dedicated low CAPEX wind turbine installation solution for the emerging U.S. offshore wind market. It is a rationalized jack-up design, peeled down to the essence of safe and efficient wind installation. Additional features, such as large accommodation and own propulsion that increase construction costs, weight and construction time, have been
