Ooooooo – accidentally walked into this baby! A brand new vessel to put up those huge off shore windmills. Just delivered from asia to denmark and ready doing the job it was designed for. But first there is an open day for the public 😀
The six legs are each 100m long and reaching high up into the sky. The legs will be lowered at the construction place. The hull is then lifted out of the water. Takes loads of power!
Each leg is driven by 3×6 electrical drives each of consumes 70-80kW. So mean would be 108*75kW=8.1MW!
Everything is a bit bigger as normal. A 1200 ton crane or 2×600 ton depending on the configuration. There is also an auxiliary 500 ton hook and some smaller cranes!
