Arklow Launch Wind Farm Service Vessel

Arklow Marine Services launch their second 20 metre wind farm service vessel for Alicat into Ireland's River Avoca at Arklow.

Painted in Alicat colours the vessel was lifted into the water by 250-ton crane, ready to start up the main engines and later for basin and sea trials.

The new vessel is due to leave Arklow on 1st July, for a lengthy coastal inaugural promotional trip.

The Owners Gardline and Alicat intend to bring the vessel north heading to the west coast of the U.K.calling on ports Liverpool, Fleetwood, Barrow and then heading back for Belfast to showcase the vessel’s capabilities and layout.

Thence navigating through the Caledonian Canal on passage to the east coast of the U.K. and  finally to travel south to call on major ports en route to her homeport destination, Great Yarmouth.
