Hampidjan Advant to Equip Cadeler's Wind Ace for East Anglia Two Job

Hampidjan Advant has signed an agreement with Cadeler to manufacture and supply lifting slings for the construction of the East Anglia Two offshore wind farm off England's east coast.

The order is one of the largest single contracts in Hampidjan Advant's history, the Norway-based company said on 8 October. Cadeler will use the lifting equipment aboard its new installation vessel, Wind Ace, to install East Anglia Two foundations and turbines.

The slings will be made from high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibre. The largest units will measure 190 millimetres in diameter and 64 metres in length, with a minimum breaking load of 4,000 tonnes.

The agreement follows cooperation between the two companies on Ørsted's Hornsea 3 offshore wind project earlier this year, for which Hampidjan Advant supplied lifting equipment for foundation installation.
