Bart de Poorter, General Manager, DEME Offshore Renewables, comments: "DEME Offshore is excited to again bring a game-changing installation concept to the industry. Our exclusive partnership with Liftra combines the best of both worlds - DEME Offshore's expertise and our long track record of successful wind turbine installation with Liftra's crane technology. "There are many advantages of this new joint technology, the major one being the ability to install fixed or floating turbines from a floating vessel, which naturally means there are no limitations regarding water depth. As well as this, there are no longer any lifting height issues and relative motions at high heights can be controlled. This new method also reduces the environmental footprint on the seabed at the wind farm's location and in port." Per Fenger, CEO of Liftra, emphasises: ''This offshore partnership with DEME Offshore underlines that Liftra's lifting and transport technology is state of the art, also in the offshore wind sector.
