The Netherlands: Huisman’s Wind Turbine Shuttle Nominated for Nor-Shipping Next Generation Ship Award

Huisman’s Wind Turbine Shuttle (WTS), has been nominated for the Nor-Shipping Next Generation Ship Award. This Award will be awarded on Tuesday 24 May at the Nor-Shipping Opening Conference to the ship project demonstrating the greatest advances in design.

The Wind Turbine Shuttle is a dynamically positioned, fast sailing (14 knots) SWATH – Small Water plane Area Twin Hull – type installation vessel which can carry and install two wind turbines in one piece. By combining low vessel motions, compensating systems and a mooring system, the wind turbine is kept virtually stationary in relation to the fixed foundation.
