DONG Energy has awarded Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL) with offshore substation transportation and installation contracts for Burbo Bank Extension, Race Bank and Walney Extension offshore wind farms.
The contracts cover the transportation and installation of up to 5 platforms that will support the power transmission of the three offshore wind farms.
For the execution of the projects, the company will utilise both the Stanislav Yudin (2500Mt lift capacity) and the Oleg Strashnov (5000Mt lift capacity) crane vessels.
These awards follow on the successful installation of the Westermost Rough offshore substation in 2014.
Seaway Heavy Lifting has recently been awarded contracts for Sandbank and Wikinger offshore wind farms in Germany, and has now executed or has a backlog of a total of 25 Offshore Wind Farm substation contracts as well as over 150 platform installations in the offshore Oil and Gas Industry.
