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.
