CWind and Rotos 360 Combine Strengths in Grimsby

CWind and wind turbine O&M specialist Rotos 360 have joined forces to provide blade repair and maritime logistics services working out of the port of Grimsby in the UK.

Rotos 360 is using the Gurit Renuvo UV cured blade repair method on the unnamed project, while CWind is providing two vessels.

One of the two CWind vessels used, CWind Alliance, has had her wheel house moved to the rear to create space for the Rotos 360 Blade access platform utilising the vessel’s modular pod system and specialist seafastenings engineered by CWind.

Lee Child, Operations Director at CWind, said: “We are very happy to work once again with Rotos 360 on the successful delivery of this program of works. Grimsby is proving an excellent port of operation and together we are committed to deliver an efficient and cost-effective project to our clients. This summer campaign work is core to CWind’s business.”

The project is expected to be completed within two months.

“We have established a very productive partnership with CWind which is producing cost effective and innovative blade repair solutions to the offshore wind industry,” said Rotos 360 Operations Director John Galliford.

“The collaboration between Rotos 360 and CWind is shaping the future of blade maintenance in the offshore environment providing major O&M customers a turnkey operation that works.”
