Hubei-made equipment aids 'wind power generation'; China's latest generation of offshore wind power installation platform delivered

2023-11-20

On November 16, China Shipbuilding Wuhan Marine Machinery Co., Ltd.'s newly built, latest generation self-elevating offshore wind power installation platform, the "Huaxi 1600" 1600-ton self-elevating offshore wind power installation platform, was successfully delivered in Qingdao. The Huaxi Offshore Engineering 1600T wind power installation platform is currently the domestic platform with the largest operating water depth, strongest offshore construction capabilities, most comprehensive functions, and highest efficiency among all truss-leg wind power installation platforms. The platform is 136 meters long, with a maximum operating water depth of 70 meters, and a deck working area equivalent to 11 basketball courts. Its main crane is a 1600-ton revolving crane, one of the domestic wind power installation platforms with the highest main crane height. With four legs, the platform can complete the transition from floating on the sea surface to standing at a 70-meter water depth in about three hours, making it the fastest platform in terms of lifting speed in China. Relevant personnel from Wuhan Ship Machinery introduced that Wuhan Ship Machinery is the company with the largest number of self-elevating auxiliary platforms built and delivered domestically. The construction of this platform commenced on June 30, 2022. The platform boasts high levels of informationization and automation, a high rate of domestically produced equipment, and good safety for deep-sea operations. It can fully meet the construction requirements of currently under-construction and planned wind farms in China and is considered a mainstream construction vessel type for offshore wind power construction in the next 5 to 10 years.
