A2SEA’s vessel Sea Challenger completed the installation of 67 Siemens 6 MW turbines on the 402 MW Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm.
The Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm is owned by Statoil (35 %), Masdar (35 %) and Statkraft (30 %). It is situated 32 km off the coast of the seaside town of Cromer in North Norfolk in the UK. When fully commissioned, the wind farm will provide well over 400,000 households with renewable power.
A2SEA headquartered in Danish Fredericia with subsidiaries in Germany and the UK is part of GeoSea and the DEME Group, an international market leader for complex marine engineering works. A2SEA is currently installing turbines at Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm. Upcoming projects include turbine installation on Arkona OWF, Hornsea Project One, Horns Rev 3 and East Anglia ONE.
“I am very happy to announce that Sea Challenger and crew have installed the final turbine at the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm”, says Michael Glavind, CEO at A2SEA.
On board the vessel, Master Jack Amtsbiller is also very pleased with the project and reports good lessons learned during the project execution: “Dudgeon has been a very good project for us. Especially Statoil have been very engaged; they have supported us in the safest and most efficient project execution. We always strive to ensure a safe and efficient project execution, and there was always time to work safe. This has been a big contributing factor to a good job carried out by all departments. The soil conditions on Dudgeon have been one of our biggest challenges to date. The soil cannot be compared to any other soil we have been jacking on, so we have gained very useful experience and knowledge from this project, too.”
