It is currently at Vard Søviknes where the final outfitting and commissioning of its Walk-to-work tower will be done prior delivery.

It has been a great pleasure to work in close cooperation with RWE team," said Ronny Pål Kvalsvik, Chief Commercial Officer in Rem.

“We are proud to support RWE in its quest for optimal solutions for the offshore wind industry. We have dedicated large resources for growth in renewables, and it is with great pleasure we can start seeing the results of this hard work.”, said Fredrik Remøy, CEO of Rem Offshore.

The 100% RWE-owned project represents a total investment of approximately £3 billion and is scheduled for completion by Q4 2026.
