The crane company Seasight Davits, based in Ringkøbing, has won an order with Vattenfall to supply 68 specially designed cranes for the upcoming German offshore wind farm Nordlicht 1. Seasight Davits states that the order has a "double-digit million value" and is expected to create activity for both the company and a number of local subcontractors.
Nordlicht 1, which is being built by the energy company Vattenfall, will be one of Germany's largest offshore wind farms with a capacity of 980 MW. It is due to be completed in 2028 and located 85 km north of the island of Borchum in the German part of the North Sea. The 68 cranes will be mounted on foundations supplied by CS Wind Offshore, which also includes the delivery and installation of cranes from Seasight Davits.
The advanced Davit cranes to be supplied to the wind farm must be able to withstand harsh sea conditions and be used both for lifting equipment and for emergency evacuation. According to Seasight Davits' CEO Thomas Halkjær Kristensen, the assignment is a continuation of previous collaborations with Vattenfall and helps to maintain local jobs in the area.
- The collaboration builds on our previous good experiences, where Seasight Davits has delivered high-quality cranes. The equipment must be able to withstand extreme conditions and function without problems for many years, where reliability is crucial for the safety of both the crew and the equipment, says Søren Hermansen, VP, Project, Transition Pieces in CS WIND Offshore.
The order was won in international competition, including against Asian suppliers. It also provides an opportunity for investments in new facilities and technology at Seasight Davits.
