Seajacks Scylla Arrives in Great Yarmouth

Seajacks Scylla, deemed the world’s largest and most advanced offshore wind farm installation vessel, arrived at the Port of Great Yarmouth today.

In early December, Seajacks Scylla started her journey from a Samsung Heavy Industries yard in South Korea to the Port of Rotterdam on-board the heavy load carrier vessel HLV Osprey, however, bad weather prolonged the vessel’s voyage.

After the vessel had been discharged to Gibraltar waters from the heavy-lift transporter Osprey, it was towed to Gibdock for reactivation works and then departed for Great Yarmouth.

Scylla is outfitted with 105-metre long legs that have the ability to install components in water depths of up to 65m. The vessel is equipped with a 1500t leg-encircling crane, incorporates useable deck space in excess of 5000m², and has over 8000t of available variable load.
