Thor's hammer now part of the fleet
“Thor” has joined the fleet of Harren & Partner, a German shipping and logistics group. It is a 2010-built dynamic positioning (DP2) jack-up crane vessel designed to carry out maintenance projects at offshore wind energy plants as well as wind turbine installations.
With a 500-t capacity, a high-outreach offshore crane and an accommodation block for up to 56 people, “Thor” is almost 108 m long and sails under the Madeiran flag.
The fleet now counts four offshore ships: he DP2 offshore construction and heavy lift vessel “Mexican Giant”, the DP3 offshore construction heavy lift twin-gantry catamaran “VB-10,000” (US flag, Jones Act compliant) and the two jack-up vessels, “Wind Lift I” (DP1) and “Thor”.
Together with its partners, OWS Off-Shore Wind Solutions and Wind Multiplikator (co-investor) – also part of the ARGE N1 joint venture – Harren & Partner will deploy "Thor" for major component exchange services at the Nordsee One wind farm. (sh)
