'ALFA LIFT'

At the same time, the OHT 'Subway Alfa Lift' vessel is taking shape nicely. Based on the patented Ulstein Alfa Lift design, the vessel has been dedicatedly developed to serve the global offshore wind market. Because of her capabilities, OHT ASA has with this vessel been awarded the contract to install the wind turbine foundations for the world's largest offshore windfarm Dogger Bank A & B. Further she will be the world's first monohull vessel able to perform heavy lift crane operations with her main deck submerged in offshore conditions. 'Subway Alfa Lift' is featuring a vast open deck and a 3000 mt heavy lift crane, and is planned for delivery early next year.
