OSLO, Norway – OHT’s newbuild wind foundation installation vessel Alfa Lift has been floated-out from its dry dock at China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) shipyard in Jiangsu, China.

The vessel will now be moored while work continues on the steel and internal fit-out, including the mechanical completion of systems.

Meanwhile, key elements of the Alfa Lift’s major crane components have been completed in Rostock, Germany. The heavy lift crane’s slewing column and the A-frame are scheduled to leave Rostock in early March and will arrive in China in April where they will be installed, OHT said.

According to the company, the vessel is on schedule for delivery at the end of this year or early 2022.
