DONG Energy has selected Danish contracting and engineering company Semco Maritime to establish a new offshore telecommunication infrastructure in the North Sea. With a total value of up to DKK 100 million, the order is Semco Maritime’s largest ever in offshore wind telecommunications.

After months of intense work, Semco Maritime has secured its largest single telecommunications order ever for the offshore wind industry. DONG Energy has chosen Semco Maritime following a tender process including a number of pre-qualified companies. The framework order totals up to DKK 100 million depending on where and when DONG Energy decides to deploy the different elements of the agreement.

The order includes construction of inter-field and offshore-to-onshore communication networks for up to four major DONG Energy operated wind turbine parks in the North Sea. The project includes SemTetra, VHF radio communication systems, data networks, PABX, telephone systems, Line of Sight systems and Automatic Identification Systems for safety. It also covers installation of Semco Maritime’s patented SemTetra Air repeater solutions making it possible for service personal to communicate from inside a wind turbine tower.

The work includes design, procurement, fabrication, in-house testing, packing, shipping, installation, commissioning, final on-/offshore testing and after-sales service once the telecommunication solutions have been installed offshore. The telecommunications infrastructure will be compliant with the communication and safety requirements for service and maintenance personnel working in the harsh offshore environment.

Senior Vice President Henrik Lunde, Semco Maritime, says:
“We are proud that DONG Energy has once again chosen to team up with Semco Maritime, this time on four wind turbine parks located in the UK sector of the North Sea. Since our first successful experience supplying telecommunications solutions to the offshore wind industry in 2011 – the London Array, Phase 1 – we have completed many communication projects for DONG Energy as well as other major operators in England, Germany, Belgium and Denmark.”
