DEME Offshore has won a €200m contract to transport and install turbines and foundations at Orsted’s 1386MW Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
The work will include transport and installation of 165 monopiles and transition pieces, as well as providing scour protection.
The company’s new DP3 offshore installation vessel Orion, entering the fleet by the end of the year, will carry out the work.
Sea Challenger and Sea Installer will transport and install the Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines.
The job should be completed in early 2022, DEME said.
DEME Offshore general manager Bart De Poorter said: “We are delighted with this major contract award from Orsted, which once again highlights our vast track record and technical expertise in providing innovative solutions for the offshore wind industry."
We look forward to working with Orsted and to leverage our joint expertise to successfully and safely deliver this major project.
