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."

Europe's AI ambitions soar on €200bn funding amid global tech slowdown
Artificial intelligence investment across Europe and the UK is accelerating, signalling the region's ambition to rival established leaders in the US and China. Despite a broader global slowdown in technology funding, European AI startups recorded a 55% increase in investment during the first quarter of 2025, said an industry expert. This momentum is supported by the European Commission's €200 billion ($224.5 million) InvestAI programme, a landmark initiative designed to cement Europe's position at the forefront of AI innovation, stated Louis Napoletani, the Founder & CEO of Mottli, a UK-based brand consulting and mobile application development company. A significant portion of this funding, €20 billion, is allocated for AI gigafactories, he stated. The European AI ecosystem is led by Germany, France and the UK, where AI represents the most prominent sector among the continent's fastest-growing startups. Firms operate across a broad spectrum, from foundational model development to intelligent agents and middleware solutions, reflecting a sophisticated and well-established environment. British companies such as Synthesia, ElevenLabs and Plumerai demonstrate the UK's strength in both AI research and commercial applications. Meanwhile, Paris-based Adaptive ML is advancing reinforcement learning techniques, exemplifying the continent's growing expertise in cutting-edge AI technologies. In the UK, AI adoption is expanding rapidly across enterprises of all sizes. The market, currently valued at over £21 billion ($28 billion), is forecast to grow substantially. The government has committed more than £2.3 billion to AI since 2014, with recent budgets allocating nearly £1 billion for research and development, including a £900 million supercomputing project, said Napoletani. Greater London remains the focal point of AI activity, hosting over 1,300 specialist companies, he stated.
