Petrofac has selected Northern HeliCopter to provide transport to and from the 900MW BorWin3 Gamma platform in the German North Sea.
The deal covers the entire installation and commissioning phase of the platform.
Northern HeliCopter managing director Frank Zabell said: “We are delighted to be able to contribute to the smooth construction of one of the world’s largest offshore converter stations with the reliable transport of technicians and service personnel.”
Petrofac is responsible for construction and offshore installation of the BorWin3 platform some 130km off the German coast in a consortium with Siemens on behalf of transmission grid operator TenneT.
The HVDC converter station with a capacity of 900MW is scheduled to go into operation next year.
It will convert electricity from EnBW’s 497MW Hohe See wind farm and the 400MW Global Tech One projects.
