RESOLUTION

ResolutionThe Resolution (IMO: 9260134, Port of Registry: Limassol, Cyprus) is world's first purpose-built vessel for installing offshore wind turbines, foundations and transition pieces. The ship is 130 meters long and 38 meters wide and is capable of elevating herself and can work in water depths ranging from five metres to more than 35 metres. The jacking system raises it to operational level to provide a safe, stable working platform that remains operational well beyond the limits of traditional weather windows. The Resolution is operated by MPI Offshore and was built in 2002 by ShanHaiguan Shipyard, China.

The Resolution will enter the Port of Rotterdam this morning and will berth at Damen Shipyards, Schiedam.
