The purpose of the project - to reduce CO₂ emissions from pilot boats and promote the development of more environmentally friendly shipping services in the Baltic Sea region.
In just a night, Van Oord’s heavy lift installation vessel Svanen grew 25 metres taller. As part of a major upgrade, a huge A-framed gantry extension, weighing 1,200 tonnes, has been installed on top of the vessel.
Among other improvements, the gantry crane will be extended by 25 metres, making the vessel ready to handle the next generation of monopile foundations for offshore wind projects.
