RICHMOND, Va., April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy announced today that Charybdis, the United States' first Jones Act-compliant offshore wind turbine installation vessel, was successfully launched from land to water, marking a major milestone in the vessel's construction. To achieve this milestone, welding of the ship's hull and commissioning of the vessel's four legs and related jacking system were successfully completed.
弗吉尼亞州里士滿，2024 年 4 月 15 日 /PRNewswire/ — Dominion Energy 今天宣佈 Charybdis是美國第一艘符合瓊斯法案的海上風力渦輪機安裝船，成功從陸地向水面發射，這標誌着該船建造的一個重要里程碑。爲了實現這一里程碑，成功完成了船體的焊接以及船舶四條腿和相關頂升系統的調試。
"Charybdis is vital not only to CVOW, but also to the growth of the offshore wind industry along the U.S. East Coast and is key to the continued development of a domestic supply chain by providing a homegrown solution for the installation of offshore wind turbines," said Bob Blue, Dominion Energy's chair, president and chief executive officer.
“Charybdis Dominion Energy董事長、總裁兼首席執行官鮑勃·布魯說，不僅對CVOW至關重要，而且對美國東海岸海上風電行業的增長也至關重要，是國內供應鏈持續發展的關鍵，爲海上風力渦輪機的安裝提供本土解決方案。
The 472-foot vessel is being constructed at the Brownsville, Texas shipyard of global marine and offshore engineering group Seatrium, using domestically-sourced steel. At peak construction, over 1,200 workers were employed on this project. Once complete, the home port for the vessel will be in Hampton Roads, one of the nation's premier offshore wind installation harbors, and utilize an American crew.
這艘472英尺的船正在全球海洋和近海工程集團Seatrium的德克薩斯州布朗斯維爾造船廠建造，使用國內採購的鋼材。在施工高峰期，該項目僱用了1,200多名工人。建成後，該船的母港將設在漢普頓路，這是美國首屈一指的海上風電安裝港之一，並僱用美國船員。
"Seatrium's AmFELS shipyard has partnered with Dominion Energy in this ground-breaking project to supply the first U.S. Jones Act-compliant WTIV, Charybdis, playing a critical role in the country's energy transition. The U.S.-built vessel will not only contribute towards reliable, affordable and clean energy, but also benefit local communities in creating a significant local know-how and job opportunities, paving the way for future growth in the U.S. offshore wind industry," said Mr. Chris Ong, Seatrium's chief executive officer.
“Seatrium的Amfels造船廠已與Dominion Energy合作開展了這個開創性的項目，以供應第一艘符合美國瓊斯法案的WTIV， Charybdis，在該國的能源轉型中起着至關重要的作用。Seatrium首席執行官Chris Ong先生說，這艘美國製造的船舶不僅將爲可靠、負擔得起的清潔能源做出貢獻，而且還將使當地社區受益，創造了重要的當地專業知識和就業機會，爲美國海上風電行業的未來增長鋪平了道路。
The vessel's hull and infrastructure was fabricated with more than 14,000 tons of domestic steel, with nearly 10,000 tons sourced from Alabama, West Virginia and North Carolina suppliers. The vessel is designed to handle turbine sizes of 12 megawatts or larger. The vessel launch marked a historical achievement as the world's largest completed lift totaling 23,000 tons.
該船的船體和基礎設施由超過14,000噸的國產鋼材製成，其中近10,000噸來自阿拉巴馬州、西弗吉尼亞州和北卡羅來納州的供應商。該船設計用於處理大小爲 12 兆瓦或更大的渦輪機。該船的下水標誌着一項歷史性成就，成爲世界上最大的已完成升降機，總計23,000噸。
Also announced today, the CVOW project received a final construction air permit from the Environmental Protection Agency. This is the 11th and final federal permit required to begin offshore construction. Offshore monopile installation begins in May.
今天還宣佈，CVOW項目獲得了環境保護署的最終施工航空許可。這是開始海上施工所需的第11份也是最後一份聯邦許可證。海上單樁安裝於5月開始。
