Inland and Coastal Marina Systems (ICMS) at the Port of Newhaven have completed its Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) upgrade supporting operations at the 400 MW Rampion Offshore wind farm off England’s south coast.
The refurbishment, which forms part of the project’s O&M base, included the installation of a floating concrete breakwater in Newhaven Harbor to provide berths for CTVs. The O&M base also includes quay facilities for ships for the commissioning and maintenance of wind farms.
The structure was manufactured at ICMS’ precast factories in Banagher, Ireland. Along with Knight Brown, ICMS designed and installed a concrete breakwater equipped with external piling guides and essential services such as electricity, water and fuel.
Rampion is owned and operated by RWE Renewable Energies.
