In the coming days, the company’s DP2 heavy-lift crane vessel Fairplayer will commence work.

Earlier this year, Jumbo Offshore was able to add the monopile removal to its existing scope of work. Under the extended contract awarded by Yunnneg Wind Power Co. (YWPC), Jumbo Offshore will remove monopiles that were installed during an earlier project phase.

The units are to be removed approximately three metres below the mean seabed level.

For the job, Fairplayer is outfitted with an underwater abrasive cutting and lifting tool, as well as, an ROV. With these, the Fairplayer will remove the monopiles in several sections. These will then be lifted into the vessel’s 1,400 square metres cargo hold for transportation to a local Taiwanese port, where the vessel will offload the monopile sections to the quayside.
