正文语种：	eng
摘要：	Kirby Corporation announced March 30 it has signed a commercial agreement for its wholly owned subsidiary, Kirby Offshore Wind, to provide barge transportation services for offshore wind towers and turbines to Maersk Supply Service. Maersk Supply has been selected by Empire Offshore Wind, a joint venture between Equi-nor and BP, as the installation contractor for the project off the coast of New York. Kirby's contract with Maersk represents a 20-year framework agreement, with the Empire Wind projects being the first. Kirby Offshore Wind will provide the Jones Act-compliant feeder barges and tugs that will transport the wind towers and turbines from the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal to a specialized Maersk wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV). Kirby will invest in two new ABS- classed feeder barge and diesel-electric hybrid tug units, which will be constructed in U.S. shipyards for a total combined cost of between $80 million to $100 million. Each feeder barge will have the capacity to transport next-generation turbines of 15 mW and higher as turbine technology advances.
