Wind Zaratan has an HSE accepted Safety Case in accordance with UK Offshore Installation (Safety Case) Regulations 2015.

The vessel’s first engagement was at Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm, where Wind Zaratan facilitated Operations and Maintenance. O&M necessitates fast transits between sites, which was expedited by our self-propulsion and guidance systems.

Wind Zaratan displayed its versatility and extreme proficiency for monopile installation at Meerwind Offshore Wind Farm; the vessel was fitted with a 400 t Hydro Hammer and managed, at one stage, to drive 3 monopiles into the seabed in just 36 hours. Wind Zaratan worked in conjunction with Leviathan to erect 80 3.6 MW turbines.
