Ampelmann, the Dutch offshore access provider, has secured what it claims is the first walk-to-work (W2W) installation in the US offshore wind market.
The E1000 system will be installed on Otto Candies’ inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) vessel Paul Candies (built 2018) in the third quarter of 2023.
It will be used to support the hook-up and commissioning of turbines on the Southfork, Revolution and Sunrise wind farms - three commercial scale wind farms in the north-east US Atlantic.
