Consortium completes floating wind turbine MCE in Scotland, utilizing LiftOff's up-tower crane tech for cost and emission reduction.

A consortium of companies, including LiftOff and Vestas, achieved a milestone in the wind industry by performing a major component exchange (MCE) on a floating wind turbine at the Kincardine offshore wind farm in Scotland. Utilizing LiftOff's up-tower crane technology, the operation was completed without towing the turbine to port, significantly reducing costs, downtime, and carbon emissions. This innovation sets a precedent for future offshore maintenance practices.
