About
GustoMSC
The offshore wind turbine installation market has matured significantly over the last decade. As an industry we need to face the bottleneck of ensuring to have sufficient and capable installation equipment in time in order to meet the installation demands of the next generation turbines. This requires the designers and equipment suppliers to keep focusing on purposeful innovation. Key to these innovations is an integral approach to the design of the jack-up platform and its crane and combining them into an integrated heavy lift tool.
GustoMSC’s latest innovations to address the challenges imposed by the next generation of offshore wind turbines include the telescopic boom leg crane. This crane offers an innovative combination of high hoisting height when extended (1,250 metric tons at 160 meters) for wind turbine installation and heavy load capability when retracted (2,500 metric tons at 120 meters) for foundation installation. Key to these innovations is an integral approach to the design of the jack-up platform and its crane and combining them into an integrated heavy lift tool. This is illustrated by the first order for the telescopic leg crane for Shimizu’s SC-14000XL jackup vessel. This unit will be the largest self-elevating platform for offshore wind installation to date in Japan and will be capable of installing the next generation WTGs with a capacity of over 12 MW.
Floating wind
Floating offshore wind turbines have a great potential to unlock deep water wind resources. The key requirements for the commercializing of floating wind are lowering the costs and enabling the industrialization at large scale. The robust and cost-effective GustoMSC Tri-Floater satisfies these requirements.
