Global Maritime to support Hywind Tampen

Global Maritime has been awarded the Marine Warranty Survey contract by Equinor for the Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind farm.

The array is designed to reduce emissions from oil and gas production. It is to consist of 11 wind turbines with a total capacity of 88 MW. The wind farm is expected to meet around 35% of the annual demand for electricity of the five platforms: Snorre A and B and Gullfaks A, B and C. In periods of strong wind, the percentage could be higher. It is still awaiting approval from the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The main offshore campaigns are planned for 2022.

The CEO of Global Maritime, Jonny Logan, responded to the contract award: "I’m really excited and proud on behalf of the GM Team that we have been awarded this contract. Floating wind is strategically important for our continued growth within renewable energy. This project gives us yet another opportunity to show our strength and unique competence within this field. “

Equinor has signed contracts with Kværner AS, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy AS, JDR Cable System Ltd and Subsea 7 AS for the construction of the floating array.

Equinor will, as operator, be responsible for operation and maintenance of the wind farm. Maintenance of the wind turbines will be carried out by Siemens Gamesa’s Norwegian service organization through its five year contract for turbine delivery. Investment in Hywind Tampen will be close to NOK 5 billion. Norway, through the state enterprise Enova, has decided to grant NOK 2.3 billion to Equinor and its partners OMV, Petoro, Idemitsu, DEA and Vår Energi to realise the project. This covers around 43 percent of the project's investment costs.
