‘Seajacks Zaratan’ to Install Veja Mate TPs

Seajacks Zaratan has been contracted to install 67 transition pieces (TPs) at the Veja Mate offshore wind farm.

The 400MW wind farm will be based 95km north-west of Borkum in the German exclusive economic zone.

Seajacks Scylla will also be installing Veja Mate’s 67 monopiles, starting Q1 2016 with full commercial operation for the wind farm planned for Q4 2017.

Seajacks CEO Blair Ainslie said: “Zaratan will be working in tandem with sister vessel Seajacks Scylla which has already been selected for the monopile installation.

“This set up of installing monopiles and TPs from separate installation jack ups was very successful on Blackstone’s 288MW Meerwind project and I am sure it will be the same here.”
