Port of Aberdeen’s South Harbour has welcomed the distinctive Blue Tern jack-up installation vessel, it said March 23.
The Fred Olsen Windcarrier vessel (shown in action below) has an overall length of 151 m, a breadth of 50 m and an 800-tonne crane.
Announcing the arrival, the port said offshore wind projects were its biggest growth opportunity for the coming decade and already account for a tenth of its overall vessel traffic. ScotWind, INTOG and other developments mean that proportion will rise significantly in the coming years.
