DELFT, the Netherlands Ampelmann has signed 13 contracts in the European offshore wind market in the first half of 2021.

Many of the contracts are with returning customers.

For all 13 campaigns, the company relies on its A-type and E1000 systems. Two of the projects will make use of the company’s A-hoist add-on, a recent innovation that enables its flagship system, the A-type, to lift and transfer cargo up to 240 kg (529 lb) in a safe and efficient manner.

For larger cargo operations, the company is using the E1000, which can transfer loads up to 1 ton and fully compensate for the motions of the vessel in high sea states.

The A-type and E1000 systems are supporting the installation of several new wind farms, including Hornsea Two, Moray East, and Hollandse Kust

The company recently secured its first project in France. It is supporting the offshore wind foundation installation campaign.

Ampelmann’s systems are also supporting multiple maintenance operations.

In addition, the Dutch offshore access provider now offers access to Ampelmann Insights, its data-driven platform that gives clients a detailed look into the company’s day-to-day operations. This includes the number of transfers completed, the performance of the system, as well as a workability forecast based on sea and weather conditions.
