Royal IHC is expanding its product portfolio with innovative equipment for offshore wind farm installations, including an inter-array cable-laying vessel and integrated jack-ups.
Based on knowledge of cable lay operation, IHC has designed a specialised vessel for specialist cable lay projects in offshore wind. A lean approach in designing material flows and storage has resulted in a right sized vessel for any project and reduces costs for inter-array cable-laying operations by twenty to thirty per cent. The two carousels below deck can be loaded simultaneously, saving time.
Cable storage below deck leaves plenty of deck space for an inline quadrant with a 50 m track, making operations in deeper water possible. Containers to store the cable protection systems are positioned around the quadrant to ensure a safe and efficient flow of materials.
Jack-up Vessel
IHC now offers an integrated approach to the design and build of jacking systems and complete heavy-lift jack-up vessels, designed with in-house components. This covers all aspects, including structural design, hydraulics, marine operations and automation, to ensure a safe and efficient jacking operation.
