Harwich Welcomes MPI Adventure

It is the world’s most advanced and most efficient wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV), in terms of jacking speed, deck space, lifting capacity and positioning capabilities.

In conjunction with the jack-up vessel Seaworker, which has been working at the port since March of this year, the MPI Adventure will begin installing monopile foundations and transition pieces for Phase 1 of the London Array Offshore Windfarm. David Gledhill, Chief Executive Officer for Hutchison Ports UK, which owns Harwich International Port, said: “The UK’s offshore wind power projects are rapidly expanding, both in the size of wind farm developments and the installation vessels used, and we are pleased to welcome the largest vessel in her class.
