National Ports Corporation Limited has developed a new safe and secure technology that has potential to redefine floating ports around the world.

A 60,000m² self-propelled floating port and supply base with over 600 meters of safe and secure berthing space for multiple vessels and with over 101,000² of under-deck storage area. 

Capable of:

• Unloading Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) components from feeder vessels
• Warehousing the WTG components & spare parts
• Assembling entire WTG’s including the blades
• Safe installing an entire WTG in one single lift
• Safe installation each foundation in one single lift
• Safe installing an entire Offshore Sub Station (OSS) in one single lift
• Safe installing an entire field of WTG’s
• Potential storage of hydrogen
• Key logistical support and maintenance for Windfarms

The solution can be delivered with the following onboard equipment and accommodation or as client specifications:

• One 6,000 tonnes pedestal crane
• Two 2,600 tonnes pedestal cranes
• Dynamic Positioning capability
• Accommodation over 100 people

Key Features:
