The state-of-the-art vessel will also have dynamic positioning capabilities in excess of the DP (AAA) standard along with compliance with a range of coastal state requirements including Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA), UK and USCG requirements which means it will be capable of deep and ultra-deep sea operations on a truly global scale. While the vessel is impressive in scale, Heerema are committed to the protection of the environment and will include an Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) and boast a full complement of LR’s ECO notations including NOx Tier III compliance, LNG propulsion and compliance with the ballast water management convention (BWMC) to ensure efficient operation in some of the world’s most sensitive environmental areas. The NSCV project, which has a contract value of around $1 billion, is further strengthened by the involvement of the Dutch crane specialist Huisman Equipment BV, which will fabricate two tub-mounted 10,000 tonne cranes for the vessel in their Chinese production facility. It follows another significant Heerema project, the delivery of the LR-classed Aegir deepwater construction vessel (DCV) in 2013 (see article in the January 2014 Horizons). The dual-fuel LNG and MGO vessel is due to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will be a key asset in the offshore market and a leading player in the installation and decommissioning of offshore facilities. The semi-submersible vessel will be constructed at the newly opened Sembcorp ‘Mega yard’ in Singapore. All kinds of cargoes such as floating drydocks, cranes, floating plants, jackets, modules, etc. But these versatile vessels can do more and offer a wide variety of capabilities. The 'Alfa Lift' was one of the nominees for the Offshore Renewables Award 2020.LR has won a contract to class the world’s largest heavy lift crane vessel (NSCV) for the Netherlands-based Heerema Group. propelled semi-submersible heavy-lift ships of the Ser,eant class are generally known as rig carriers. Once delivered, OHT 'Alfa Lift' will install the monopile foundations for Equinor's Dogger Bank project, the largest offshore windfarm in the world. We look forward to delivery of the vessel and trust it will bring highly-efficient service to the end client in the near future'. Designed as an efficient vessel with one-stop service for both transportation and installation, Alfa Lift will surely become the favourite of the market for offshore wind installation vessels in the coming years. ![]() Mei Xianzhi, General Manager of CMHI added 'The achievement of this important milestone could not be separated from the close teamwork between OHT and CMHI.

She has been developed for the installation of the next generation big sized offshore wind foundations.Īccording to an OHT update, the vessel will now be moored whilst work continues on the steel and internal fit-out, including the mechanical completion of systems. Based on Ulstein's Alfa Lift concept, this vessel is recognized as the most innovative offshore wind foundation installation vessel in the world and regarded as a game changer to the industry. This semi-submersible offshore wind foundation installation vessel has been designed and developed by Ulstein Design & Solutions BV for Offshore Heavy Transport (OHT).
