MPI Resolution
Monday 10 August 2009
The world's first purpose-built vessel for installing offshore wind turbines, foundations and transition pieces. The MPI Resolution is a unique combination of tested technologies applied in innovative ways to provide a single vessel installation solution for the offshore wind sector.
Resolution is classed with Det Norske Veritas and has been given the following notation - 1A1 Self-elevating Support Unit CRANE EO DYNPOS-AUT. This reflects its self-elevating capability, its state of the art dynamic positioning system and 300 tonne and 50 tonne cranes.
The MPI Resolution has been specifically designed to overcome the challenges that defeat current installation practices and techniques – including limited operational weather windows, low capacity and dependence on high numbers of infield logistical support vessels. Capable of operating in water depths ranging from five metres to more than 35 metres, the vessel’s state of the art dynamic positioning system holds it on location while the jacking system raises it to operational level to provide a safe, stable working platform that remains operational well beyond the limits of traditional weather windows.

With a large cargo capacity capable of carrying multiple WTG components and high performance main and ancillary cranes providing the lifting capacity, the MPI Resolution outperforms any other vessel currently installing off-shore wind turbine components.

The MPI Resolution is supported by first class project management and exacting quality control and safety standards to provide the optimum installation solution, on-time and to budget.
The vessel’s unique capabilities, coupled with the vast off-shore experience of MPI Offshore’s operational and project managers, enables the Company to offer equally fast, effective solutions in the following areas:
• Oil and gas sector support
• Heavy lift and transport
• Marine salvage
• Marine construction
• Bridge deck erection
