Introduction
From the early offshore renewable days Scaldis has been a key player in the rapidly growing sector of renewable energy. Whilst Scaldis served in various disciplines of this market, the majority of the works concentrated around the installation of jackets and substations.
Scaldis executes its offshore activities with two heavy lift vessels, the
Rambiz (lifting capacity 3,300 tonnes) and Norma (400 tonnes). A third heavy lift vessel is presently under construction (lifting capacity 4,000 tonnes) and will be available as from Q2 2014.
