Construction of Offshore Windfarms on the Irish Sea.

With three construction projects already successfully undertaken with a fourth at Robin Rigg currently underway, The Port of Mostyn is favorably situated for the construction of Offshore Windfarms on the Irish Sea.

The port which has 40 acres of laydown area adjacent to the 310m of heavy lift riverside quay lends itself to the demanding requirements of offshore windfarm construction and servicing Industry.

Our Riverside Berths are complemented by over 40 acres of laydown area suitable for the storage and loading of offshore windfarm components. There is also 6000m2 (28,000 sq/ft) of clearspan fabrication and workshop space for electrical component storage.

The Berths

Each of the berths has undergone ground investigation surveys to ensure the seabed conditions are suitable for the safe operation of Jack-up barges with vessels such as the “Excalibur”, “Mayflower Resolution”, “Jumping Jack”, “Odin”,” Wind” and “Lisa A” being based at the Port during the construction of the North Hoyle, Burbo Bank, Rhy Flats and Robin Rigg Projects
