The ever expanding offshore wind farm business has seen Ulstein Design & Solutions BV launch the design of a new heavylift jack-up vessel, in partnership with jack-up specialist SeaOwls, that makes use of a cruciform structural layout to provide a platform that is more than ten per cent lighter than conventional jack-up units. In combination with a high capacity crane, the new SOUL (SeaOwls/Ulstein) design will allow operators to install the next generation of larger wind turbines (10-12MW) in the same time frame as is .currently required for installing smaller 6-8MW units.
