C-bed has secured a double contract to support offshore wind developments in the UK, including what will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea Two. With the contract award, C-bed has secured full activity into 2022 for its Service Operation Vessel (SOV) Wind Innovation.

Wind Innovation is already in full operation on the first of the two assignments with Ørsted at the Hornsea One offshore wind farm. During March, Wind Innovation will continue to the second and more extensive cable termination project at the Hornsea Two offshore wind farm.

Providing the daily logistics and accommodation for the Hornsea Two offshore workers becomes C-bed’s 28th individual offshore project and at the same time marks an industry landmark.

During the project, C-bed will use the Port of Immingham as base port for crew change and loading of fresh supplies.

Jesper Nielsen, Managing Director, C-bed: “In a very challenging market for SOVs, we are reconfirmed that the experience and service levels on board Wind Innovation is in demand and prioritised by the operators. Assisting on the commissioning of the world’s largest offshore wind farm is a great milestone for C-bed and our crew.”

The 93m Wind Innovationis optimised to support the installation and commissioning stages of offshore wind farms. It has 80 single cabins but these can be expanded to 105 beds. To enable passengers to transfer, the vessel has an up time walk to work system.

Developed by Danish energy giant Ørsted, Hornsea Project One is the world’s largest offshore wind farm to date. It is located in the North Sea off the east coast of England. The site consists of 174 Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. SWT-7.0-154 turbines, spanning across an area of 407km², all of which have been installed. The site was fully commissioned at the end of 2019, and is anticipated to power over one million homes in the UK.

Hornsea Two will surpass its predecessor Hornsea One, by generating 1.4 GW of clean energy once complete in 2022. The project will span an offshore area of 462km² featuring 165 SG 8.0-167 DD turbines. It is expected to power well over 1.3 million homes in the UK with clean electricity.
