SPT installs suction pile jacket offshore China

SPT Offshore has installed the first suction pile jacket foundation at the 300 MW CTGNE Yangxi Shaba Phase I offshore wind farm in China.

The Netherlands-based company said it used its SAPS-007 suction pump spread for the work.

The 300 MW offshore wind project comprises 55 5.5 MW turbines which delivered first electricity in November 2019.
