AHTS BOULDER and AHT TYPHOON were linked up with SHL's new building DP-3 HLV and installation vessel OLEG STRASHNOV, with a 5000 tons lifting capacity. This vessel was deployed to complete the installation of two substations, 68 foundation piles along with 71 transition pieces for the Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm offshore Norfolk, U.K.

The Sheringham Shoal project started with the installation of two substations of 1000 tons each. They were constructed at the Heerema yard at Hartlepool and loaded on barge Dina Launcher and towed to the installation site. There the OLEG STRASNOV lifted the substations on the earlier installed foundations.
