2nd Wind Marine intends to build a pair of purpose-built jack-up vessels to assist for the rapid and cost-effective construction of projects within the U.S. offshore wind market. Read more below.
Capable of self-loading & carrying one complete set of the next-generation turbines during T&I while also (w/boom-extension) able to perform blade exchanges during O&M.
Utilizing a pair of SuperFeeders for a installation project strives to keep the critical-path on the parterning offshore-WTIV.
Designed to fully support the offshore-WTIV with refueling, stores, and personnel transfers (...in addition to feedering WTG components).
The owner/operators of 2nd Wind Marine have a long history of building U.S. flagged jack-up vessels where each class has been three times larger than the previous and always built in pairs.
2nd Wind Marine is currently in discussions with shipyards, project-owners and wind turbine manufacturers looking for the most appropriate path forward to bring the SuperFeeder concept to reality.
