German search and rescue outfit MRCC has wound down the search for a missing offshore wind contractor in the North Sea, according to a spokesman.
The operation at Trianel's Borkum West 2.2 project was called off on Friday night with search efforts proving unsuccessful and did not resume on Saturday, he added.
MRCC began the effort after supply ship Standard Supporter reported a man overboard at 13.10 on 2 November, according to Trianel, with rescue ships and helicopters scrambled from Germany and the Netherlands.
Standard Supporter has been providing a bubble curtain at Borkum West 2.2 while lead contractor Seaway Heavy Lifting installs monopile foundations at the 200MW project.
The vessel was not active at the time of the incident but on standby due to adverse weather.
