Greater Gabbard OWF in Midst of Legal Fight

Greater Gabbard OWF in Midst of Legal Fight

Fluor has taken a second legal action in relation with Greater Gabbard offshore wind project, as the engineering company recently filed a lawsuit against Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry (ZPMC), requesting a compensation in an amount of GBP 250 million. 

Fluor claims that it suffered significant financial losses due to low quality of ZPMC’s work, which reflected in delivery delays and defective products.

However, ZPMC stated in Chinese media that it is aware of Fluor’s intention to recover losses after the company lost in court against the project owners SSE and RWE in 2012. The Chinese steel manufacturer stressed that it is not liable for any damages to the offshore wind project.
