Company inks three-year deal covering Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind farms Interocean Marine Services has won a three-year contract to provide marine vetting and assurance to the Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind projects being developed under a joint venture between BP and EnBW. With a total projected generating capacity of 5.9GW – enough to power the equivalent of around six million UK households every year – the three wind farms are expected to play a role in achieving the UK’s target of 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. Morgan and Mona are located in the Irish Sea approximately 22-37km from the coast, covering a combined area of approximately 580 square kilometres. Situated in the North Sea, approximately 60km from the coast of Aberdeen, Morven spans an area of approximately 860 square kilometres, with water depths varying from 21 to 76 metres. Interocean says it has an extensive track record in delivering complex offshore projects across the offshore energy sectors including high-value cargo transportation, mooring installation, and walk-to-work solutions. Commenting on the contract, chief operations officer Alex Reid said: “We are thrilled to have been chosen to contribute to projects of such national importance. “As a UK-headquartered company, we take immense pride in supporting initiatives that have the potential to enhance energy security and benefit local communities.” The company, which is based in Glasgow, operates a global network and offers offshore wind project solutions, from planning, design, and installation to operational maintenance and decommissioning. |
