From autumn 2016, A2SEA will play a key role in helping build
the 402MW Dudgeon
Offshore Wind Farm in the UK for Statoil, Masdar
and Statkraft.
A2SEA will provide their specialist purpose-built offshore
installation vessel SEA INSTALLER to install the 67 Siemens 6MW turbines.
Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm is located off the coast of
the seaside town of Cromer in North Norfolk and will provide approx. 400,000
households with renewable power by 2017.
"It is with great pleasure and proudness that we
can inform that A2SEA will install the 67 Siemens 6MW turbines on the Dudgeon
Offshore Wind Farm in the UK. We have
great experience with installation of the 6MW Siemens turbine from two
former projects, and our skilled teams both on board SEA INSTALLER and
at the office have secured a solid, efficient and safe solution to install
the turbines for Statoil,” says Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO at A2SEA.
The Dudgeon
Offshore Wind Farm is owned by Statoil (35%),
Masdar (35%) and Statkraft (30%) and is situated 32 km off the coast of
the seaside town of Cromer in North Norfolk in the UK. The Dudgeon
Offshore Wind Farm is expected to be fully commissioned
by 2017.
A2SEA has installed more than half of Northern Europe’s
offshore wind farms, and the Danish Installation Contractor is looking
forward to this next significant project;
“The contractual process with Statoil has been conducted
in an open and trusting forum by our skilled and dedicated team. We are
very pleased to continue our cooperation and partnership with Statoil for
installation of turbines, which started on their first offshore wind project
Sheringham Shoal, and now continues on the Dudgeon project,” says Jens
Frederik Hansen.
