Dillinger plates for MPI Adventure

The production of wind energy offshore is an important factor in the extension of renewable energy worldwide.

Sophisticated installation ships are needed to set up wind-farms on the high seas. The 138.55 m long and 40.80 wide „MPI Advantage“ of MPI Offshore is such an installation ship – the biggest of it’s kind so far worldwide. The ship permits installation of the steel pylons, turbines and rotor blades extremely economically, using six extendable legs. It can transport 6000 t of freight and may carry a staff of 112 members.

From Harwich International Port the Adventure started it’s first trip to zur Phase 1 of the London Array Offshore Windfarm, which will be one of the biggest in the world.

The ship was built in Nantong/China. Dillinger delivered 3250 t of the water quenched steel DILLIMAX 690E in 100 mm plate thickness. The plates had to fulfill toughness requirements at –40 °C.
