Danish engineering company Semco Maritime has won a five-year service contract at Northland Power’s 252MW Deutsche Bucht wind farm in the German North Sea.
The company will be responsible for managing the project’s offshore substation.
As a result, Semco is planning to double staff at its Norddeich office in Germany, with plans afoot to add between eight and 10 employees.
This may be supplemented with project recruitments as required, Semco added.
"Semco Maritime built the world's first offshore substation in 1999, and we still employ some of the people who pioneered this area,” said senior offshore wind O&M manager Mads Seneca Iversholt.
This is a young industry where in-house knowledge and experience is important because you always build each OSS specifically for the intended assignment.
“Our experience and knowledge make it easier for us to deliver fast, accurate and cost effective service or modification, according to the customer’s needs.”
Northland project director Jens Poulsen: "We know Semco Maritime as a reliable and competent partner, delivering high quality on time."
“To us, flexible contracts combined with a proven ability to meet and transfer requirements into value-added solutions are important parameters when choosing our partners.”
