Skyborn Renewables has awarded Seaway7 a contract for the transportation and installation (T&I) of the 63 monopiles and transition pieces (TPs) at the Gennaker offshore wind farm in Germany.
Offshore activities are expected to commence in 2027, according to Seaway7’s parent company Subsea7, which qualified the contract as “substantial”, meaning it is worth between USD 150 million and USD 300 million (around EUR 126 million and 252 million) as per Subsea7’s definition of a substantial contract.
The signing of the firm contract follows a preferred supplier agreement that the developer and Seaway7 signed last year.
