OHT’s new build vessel Alfa Lift has been floated-out from its dry dock at China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) shipyard in Jiangsu, China. The heavy installation vessel, which is designed and built for installing the next generation XXL offshore wind foundations, was launched on, February 28, 2021.
The vessel will now be moored while work continues on the steel and internal fit-out, including the mechanical completion of systems. Meanwhile, key elements of Alfa Lift’s major crane components have been completed in Rostock, Germany. The heavy lift crane’s slewing column and the A-frame are scheduled to leave Rostock in early March and will arrive in China in April where they will be installed.
"The vessel construction has progressed well despite these challenging times," said Bjarne Birkeland, Head of Vessel Management for OHT. "We are also grateful for seeing the quality Liebherr 3000 tonne heavy Lift crane components being shipped from Liebherr’s facilities and look forward to seeing the crane installed on the vessel."
Alfa Lift is on schedule for delivery at the end of this year or early 2022.
