Seaway7 has been awarded substantial contract by OWP Gennaker, part of Skyborn Renewables, for the Gennaker offshore wind farm in Germany.
Seaway7’s scope of work includes the transportation and installation of the 63 monopiles and transition pieces. Offshore activities are expected to commence in 2027.
Stuart Fitzgerald, Seaway7’s CEO, said: “Seaway7 has a strong track record in Germany, having supported over 20 projects and enabled almost 3,500 MW of clean energy for the country. We are delighted to bring this experience to the project and continue our collaboration with Skyborn Renewables, this time on the Gennaker offshore wind farm.”
Located approximately 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the Gennaker offshore wind farm area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea. Skyborn secured the initial permit for the Gennaker offshore wind farm site in May 2019 and retains exclusive rights for the site development.
Skyborn is an offshore wind developer and operator, headquartered in Germany. The company’s capabilities cover the entire offshore wind value chain, including greenfield development, project engineering and design, procurement, financing, corporate power purchase agreements, construction management and asset management. Skyborn is a portfolio company of New York based Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a leading infrastructure investor and part of Blackrock.
