Mammoet lands SeAH Wind offshore project in UK
Mammoet, a global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport sectors, said it has along with Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering, been signed up as key subcontractors by SeAH Wind for its Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project in UK.
With commercial production set to commence in the coming months, these subcontractors have been selected to support with the operational and logistical services within the 120-acre site located on the South Bank of Teesworks, UK.
SeAH Wind will be supplying the monopile foundations for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project, off the Norfolk Coast in the North Sea. Upon completion, it will become the world's largest offshore wind farm.
On the contract award, CEO Chris Sohn said: "At SeAH Wind, we are excited to partner with Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering for the Hornsea 3 project. These strategic appointments reflect our commitment to delivering market leading XXXL Monopiles."
"With these trusted partners, we are confident that we will meet our project goals while upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency," he stated.
Mammoet has been appointed to provide self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) within the SeAH Wind facility. Its scope includes the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles.
By leveraging Mammoet's expertise in heavy transport solutions in offshore wind site logistics, SeAH Wind ensures a seamless and efficient movement of monopiles, minimizing downtime and improving overall production efficiency.
Darren Watson, the sales manager from Mammoet, said: "We are delighted to be helping SeAH Wind to deliver the future of offshore wind foundations by providing marshalling capabilities that are constantly at the cutting edge of what can be lifted and transported."
Glacier Energy will conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards.
Its rigorous NDT inspections will enhance the reliability and durability of the monopiles, ensuring they meet both Ørsted's stringent standards and international offshore wind regulations.
Scott Martin, Group CEO at Glacier Energy, said: "We are proud to be supporting SeAH Wind with NDT services for the Hornsea 3 project, marking a significant milestone for Glacier Energy."
"This collaboration builds on our strong heritage of supporting wind foundation manufacturers and reinforces our commitment to the northeast of England's growth. We look forward to working with SeAH Wind and playing a pivotal role in the success of the project," he added.
Hutchinson Engineering has been tasked with supplying secondary steel components for the Hornsea 3 project.
SeAH Wind sought a UK-based company capable of delivering these complex parts in compliance with stringent Ørsted drawings and specifications. Hutchinson Engineering's previous experience on Ørsted projects, combined with its expertise, makes them an ideal partner for this phase of the project.
Steve Adams, Managing Director at Hutchinsons Engineering, said: "Hutchinson is delighted to have been awarded the Secondary Steel contract by SeAH Wind."

EU removes UAE from ‘high-risk' money-laundering list, adds Monaco
The EU yesterday announced the removal of the United Arab Emirates from its money-laundering 'high-risk' list but added Monaco alongside nine other jurisdictions. The European Commission said it added Algeria, Angola, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela, along with Monaco, to the list of countries subject to extra monitoring of their money laundering controls. In addition to the UAE, it removed Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, the Philippines, Senegal and Uganda. The moves come after a money-laundering watchdog said in February it had removed the Philippines from its list of countries that face increased monitoring, while adding Laos and Nepal. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a Paris-based organisation that reviews efforts by more than 200 countries and jurisdictions to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing, compiles a 'grey list' of nations that are subject to increased monitoring of financial transactions. Monaco has been included on the FATF list since mid-2024, along with EU member states Bulgaria and Croatia. 'The commission has now presented an update to the EU list which reiterates our strong commitment to aligning with international standards, particularly those set by the FATF,' the EU's commissioner for financial services, Maria Luis Albuquerque, said. The EU list will now be scrutinised by the European Parliament and member states and will enter into force within one month if there are no objections, the commission said. In a statement, Monaco's government said it had 'taken note of this expected update, which would lead to Monaco being placed on the EU's list, unless the European Parliament or the Council of the EU decides otherwise'. It also stressed its commitment to take the necessary steps to be removed from the FATF's grey list 'in the short term'.

NATO Chief Urges 400% Rise in Europe's Air Defense
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday urged the European allies to make a 'quantum leap' in military spending to deter Russia, which affirms Trump's own longtime message, as the NATO chief called for a whopping 400% increase in the Continent's air and missile defense budget. 'The fact is, we need a quantum leap in our collective defense,' Rutte said before an audience of the London-based think tank Chatham House. 'The fact is, we must have more forces and capabilities to implement our defense plans in full. The fact is, danger will not disappear even when the war in Ukraine ends.' The comments came days after he stated provocatively that Europe must invest heavily in defense now, or learn Russian later. 'If we don't act now, the next three years, we are fine, but we have to start now, because otherwise, from three, four or five years from now, we are really under threat,' he had said. 'I really mean this. Then you have to get your Russian language course out, or go to New Zealand.' NBC reviews that all of this is happening just ahead of a key NATO meeting later in June: Trump's call for NATO allies to up their minimum defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP was once seen as outlandish; but last month Rutte too backed this idea and said he expected it to be adopted at NATO's June 24-25 summit. On Monday he made a similarly ambitious call. He asked for a '400% increase in air and missile defense' and added that 'militaries also need thousands more armored vehicles and tanks, millions more artillery shells, and we must double our enabling capabilities, such as logistics, supply, transportation, and medical support.' Canada is already seeking to demonstrate to Washington and NATO that it is taking significant strides to meet the challenge: Canada, under pressure to spend more on its military, vowed on Monday to boost funding for the armed forces and hit NATO's 2% military spending target this fiscal year, five years earlier than promised. Prime Minister Mark Carney also said Canada was likely in future to devote a greater percentage of GDP on defense, given the need to replace outdated equipment and reduce its heavy reliance on Washington. Canada just committed $60 billion in defense spending to meet NATO's 2% of GDP based on an estimated $3 trillion GDP for jets, vehicles, drones, and Arctic surveillance are coming — but how will we afford it with rising debt and a slowing economy? — Marc Nixon (@MarcNixon24) June 9, 2025 NATO defense ministers are further expected to soon formalize the following increase in spending policies: They've agreed that 3.5% of GDP would be used for 'core defence spending' – such as heavy weapons, tanks, air defence. 1.5% of GDP per year will be spent on defense- and security-related areas such as infrastructure, surveillance, and cyber . However, the full list of flexibility has not yet been negotiated. 'These targets describe exactly what capabilities Allies need to invest in over the coming years,' Rutte told journalists. Washington could step back from Ukraine support… If #NATO allies fail to meet the defense spending target, the #US could scale back support for #Ukraine, says @TalaMichelIssa, Chief Business Reporter. #WNewsExtra — Al Arabiya English (@AlArabiya_Eng) June 9, 2025 Click here to read more Also read: Lavrov Praises Trump for Saying NATO Led To Ukraine Invasion
