Meerwind Topside Project
nach der erfolgreichen Verladung der Topside
(Verladungsgewicht ca. 1.680 t) mittels
Flurförderfahrzeugen (4 Linien je 40 Achsen der Firma SARENS /
Belgien) möchten wir uns - auch im Namen der Geschäftsführung und
der Projektleitung der WeserWind GmbH Offshore Construction
Georgsmarienhütte - bei allen unmittelbar Beteiligten, die
uns bei der Vorbereitung dieser nicht alltäglichen Herausforderung
konstruktiv unterstützt haben, herzlich bedanken.
Mögen Ihnen die von Wolfhard Scheer aufgenommenen "Schnappschüsse", die uns von der Geschäftsführung WeserWind zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, einen "bleibenden" Eindruck von der Verladung vermitteln.
Wenn wir auch die nächsten Herausforderungen der Offshore-Windenergiebranche in einer so guten Atmosphäre der Zusammenarbeit meistern, wird das dazu beitragen, den Ruf Bremerhavens als soliden Standort der Offshore-Windenergiebranche weiter zu festigen.

Namens de werfleiding Krijgslaan willen wij iedereen zeer hartelijk bedanken voor de grote inzet!!! Bloed, zweet en tranen hebben ze gekost, maar de bruggen liggen er. Dankzij de goede voorbereiding en samenwerking van alle partijen hebben we een prestatie neergezet die gezien mag worden. Iedereen mag dan ook oprecht fier zijn. De renovatiefase kan nu aanvangen wat deze eeuwling terug zal doen pronken zoals voordien.

Crane operations in Australia
Afternoon Matt,
On Wednesday 31st crane operations were carried out at PL2 & 3 (Clarence Beach Rd) and PL4 (Cnr Wattleup & Moylan Rd). It is with deep satisfaction that I report the safe and professional manner that the Perth Crane Hire operatives carried out these lifts.
As you are aware the Gorgon Project prides itself on doing it safely or not at all and getting it right first time. These tenets were clearly in evidence this week. The conduct of your staff enabled Agility to carry out 18 lifts between 09.30 and 16.00 at PL2 & 3 and a further 7 lifts in excess of 35t each at PL4.
I congratulate all your staff on this and look forward to the continued team effort. Well done!

Hi James and Gert,
I'm sure the guys at site have done a little celebrating already but I thought I would say thanks from the Vestas team for your assistance in installing all 111 turbines. From the office it appears to have all gone very smoothly but I am well aware that plenty of challenges were overcome in order to get this done.
Thanks again.
Yours sincerely,

Proud member of
the Sarens Australia team
Hello,
I am writing this letter to express much appreciation of the help, expertise and sound knowledge that one of your field technichians/trainers/operators Hasko-presently in Dubai provided to me. Located on a project in Newcastle, Australia both myself and the head mechanic were experiencing a few problem solving issues in the erection of a LR1350. The Sarens-technician(HASKO) was able to answer all of our questions and provide extra vital information for a safe and efficient crane erection and operation. I think he is valued member of the Sarens operations and would be of massive benefit to Sarens Australia as a mentor/supervisor to Mechanics, Operators and Riggers. I also would like to thank Fred Kloek and Karel Storm for their training and expertise on the Collgar windfarm project, They also displayed the same professionalism and adaptability to our culture and I would have no problem in working for them again. I am a proud member of the the Sarens Australia team and believe that we move will foward to be market leader in the crane industry in this country.
Yours sincerely,
Adam O`Brien

Hi Guys,
I would like to congratulate you and your teams for E17 erection ! You succeeded in 12h to erect a 4 sections WTG, with crane using superlift. I would like to let you know that Vestas is really impressed by this performance. We noticed on site a high motivation for all persons, and a really good collaboration between Powermetal and Sarens, and this is very good seeing backward all problems and difficulties met.
Hoping that we will all keep the same spirit on site for the very last turbine, and why not, erect the last WTG within one day again?
Again thank you all for all your efforts.
Yours sincerely / Sincères salutations
