October 23, 2024, by Adnan Memija

Hengtong Group’s large-capacity wind installation jack-up has commenced its wind turbine installation works for the very first time in China.

The Hengtong Haiyue jack-up is responsible for installing a total of twelve turbines at the Hainan Danzhou CZ3 offshore wind project in Hainan, China.

Once fully commissioned, the offshore wind farm, owned by China Datang Corporation, is expected to provide Hainan Province with 3.66 billion kWh of clean electricity every year, saving 1.1 million tonnes of standard coal.

In addition, the project is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 2.87 million tonnes, SO₂ by 23,000 tonnes, and nitrogen oxides by 13,000 tonnes.

The jack-up was delivered to the Hengtong Group by Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry in August this year.

The mobile platform features a 1,600-tonne leg-encircling full-circle slewing crane, with a 4,000-square-metre deck capable of supporting a variable load of over 8,500 tonnes.

It is designed to install offshore wind turbines with capacities of up to 20 MW.
