On 27 June morning, lifting and installation of offshore booster station of Yang Jiang Qing Zhou offshore wind farm of Guangdong Energy Group was completed . The project was constructed by Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering Co., Ltd.
‘Zhenhua 30’ offshore construction vessel which undertook the lifting and installation work this time is ‘magnificent equipment of great power’ true to its name. Since it was delivered in 2016, it has achieved brilliant performance, including the lifting and installation of the final connection of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in May 2017. The ship is 297.55 m long, 58 m wide, and 28.8 m deep. The maximum lifting capacity of single arm can reach 12000 tons. 360 degrees full rotary lifting capacity can reach 7000 tons. It is the offshore construction ship with best single arm full rotary lifting capacity in the world. As it is very large, ‘Zhenhua 30’ has strong wind and wave resistance. Even if wind force reaches 7 to 8 on the sea, the ship can work steadily still, which makes its operation window period far longer than other ships.
In the present, projects in construction by Longyuan Zhenhua in Guangdong Yangjiang sea area also include Mingyang Qingzhou offshore wind farm project.
