In December 2020, F900 Eco-Lifter MV UHL Fame of United Heavy Lift completed the loading operation of 14 monopile foundations at Rotterdam.
United Heavy Lift has been contracted to transport 20 monopiles and 22 transition pieces for the Akita Noshiro Offshore Wind Farm, which is Japan´s first large-scale Offshore Wind Farm.
The next shipments will be performed by the MV UHL Falcon and MV UHL Flash, each vessel will transport 11 transition pieces and 3 monopiles per voyage.
Due to the high cargo intake and the low fuel consumption of the F900 Eco-Lifters, the carbon footprint for transporting the foundations to Japan has been lowered significantly.
