After spending three days in the ABP port of Southampton, MPI Workboats’ two 19m wind farm support vessels will head out to their new assignments.
MPI Lucinda and MPI Trifaldi, built by Isle of Wight-based South Boats IOW Ltd, and delivered earlier this year, are currently at Seawork International, one of the largest commercial marine and workboat events in Europe.
Leslie Robertson, general manager at MPI Workboats, confirmed that MPI Lucinda will be heading to Westermost Rough and MPI Trifaldi will be going to Inner Dowsing after the event.
The Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm site is situated 8km from the Holderness coast, comprising 35 Siemens 6MW turbines. It is expected to be fully commissioned in 2015.
Inner Dowsing Wind Farm, owned by Centrica, was completed in 2009. It is located in the North Sea, in the shallow waters off the coast of Lincolnshire, England.
