Alfa Lift vessel arrives at port

Heavy lift crane vessel Seaway Alfa Lift has joined the Inch Cape construction fleet, recently arriving at the Port of Cromarty Firth in Invergordon.

Maritime contractor Seaway7’s 245-metre-long vessel will be responsible the installation of Inch Cape’s 18 jacket foundations and 54 monopile foundation transition pieces. It features a 3,000 tonne crane, 8,000 square metres of main deck space, and the capacity to carry up to 44,000 tonnes of cargo and equipment.

Teams at the northern Scotland port are now readying the state-of-the-art vessel for its scope of work on the project, undertaking the full range of mobilisation activities to ensure it is set for deployment in the Spring.

The arrival of the vessel into port was captured by drone with the resulting video below.
