Eco Titan Transporting Vital Cargo for the He Dreiht Offshore Windfarm.

Smulders’s Newcastle yard, have done the outer welding, coating, and final assembly of the transition pieces. The Eco Titan Cargo Ship is transporting the TPs to Eemshaven (NL)

On behalf of EnBW, the joint venture Sif-Smulders is manufacturing the 64 transition pieces for the He Dreiht offshore wind project in the German North Sea.

The TPs will be up to 30 metres high and close to 8.5 metres in diameter. Each TP will weigh more than 700 tonnes, including secondary steel, said Smulders.

The transition pieces will be installed on top of monopiles that will be delivered by Steelwind Nordenham, which received an order from EnBW in May last year.

Bureau Technical Services will carry out manufacturing surveillance and supervision on both of the awarded packages across Sif and multiple Smulders European manufacturing facilities in the UK, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark.
