Karpowership Americas Buys SEA POWER

A2SEA’s wind turbine installation vessel SEA POWER has been sold to Karpowership Americas Company, A2SEA informed on 12 April.

SEA POWER has been a part of the A2SEA fleet since 2002 and has installed turbines on a number of offshore wind projects, including Horns Rev 1 and 2, Lillgrunden, Rødsand 2, Kentish Flats, Arklow Bank 1 and Anholt.

In recent years the semi-jack up has been engaged in service assignments, A2SEA said.

A2SEA revealed plans to lay up and sell Sea Power and Sea Jack in March 2016.

“SEA POWER pioneered the offshore wind installation business in the early 2000s. She has done great things within offshore wind and we are proud of her and her crew’s achievements. Having served A2SEA since the beginning in 2002 is quite an achievement also considering the increasing demands for equipment in the market. We are happy that the vessel can now continue the career outside A2SEA ,” said Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO at A2SEA.

The sale was carried out with support of Global Renewables Shipbrokers (GRS) and Arena Offshore.
