Samson B Aids Jack-Up at Rhyl Flats

Samson B recently worked with the Pacific Osprey on the Rhyl Flats Wind Farm. The Pacific Osprey is such an awesome sight it is a marvel that it even exists. Everything about it is huge with 160.9m length overall and breadth of 49m, she is a giant of the seas.

Subsequently Samson B has been to Grimsby but is now back in Liverpool. We are now poised to start work again with the MS Wind servicing the bearings on the turbine blades. The MS Wind can carry 9 of these blades on deck.

Working from Brocklebank Dock in Liverpool the journey to Rhyl is full of interest. Samson B will use the Langton or Gladstone Locks and take the Rock Channel or the Queen’s Channel depending on the tide to exit the Mersey, passing Burbo Bank, North Hoyle and Gwynt y Mor before finally arriving at Rhyl Flats again.
