| Work Detail |
Seaway 7, the renewables unit of Oslo-listed Subsea 7, has signed a contract to charter a turbine vessel for work on the Dogger Bank wind farm off the UK. This comes after Seaway 7 signed a vessel reservation agreement with the developers of the Dogger Bank – SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn – in December 2024. Under the contract, the 2023-built Seaway Ventus jackup installation vessel will begin turbine transport and installation work of GE Vernova Haliade-X offshore wind turbines at the offshore wind farm in mid-2026. This contract represents additional work for Seaway 7 at the Dogger Bank development, where the company already has contracts for transport and installation of the monopile foundations and transition pieces on all three phases of the project, with the works on Dogger Bank A complete and the works on Dogger Bank B substantially complete. Turbine installation and commissioning work is continuing at Dogger Bank A, with completion of the first phase of the offshore wind farm expected in the second half of calendar year 2025. When fully complete, Dogger Bank will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, capable of powering around 6 million UK homes annually. SSE Renewables is leading the construction of the project on behalf of the joint venture while Equinor will be the lead operator of the wind farm on completion for its expected operational life of around 35 years. |
