Rosenberg Worley and Blåvinge – a partnership between Fred. Olsen Seawind, Hafslund Eco, and Ørsted – are entering into an exclusive collaboration to develop floating offshore wind farms.

The agreement covers an exclusive partnership in which Blåvinge and Rosenberg will jointly develop plans for how large-scale floating wind farms can be established in Norway with the help of Norwegian suppliers.

If Blåvinge granted a permit to develop offshore wind at Utsira Nord, investments will be made for the construction of foundations for the floating offshore wind farms, resulting in a significant number of man-years in both the development and construction phases.

Blåvinge is hoping to develop both bottom-fixed and floating wind projects, while also contributing to develop competitive Norwegian supply chains that can deliver the large-scale expansion of offshore wind farms in Norway.

“Large-scale floating offshore wind farms have not yet been built. By combining the unique expertise of Rosenberg and Blåvinge, together we can find the best solutions for such a development. We’re therefore very pleased to have joined forces with Rosenberg who are one of the strongest players in planning, construction and assembly of large steel constructions” said Lars Bender, CEO of Fred. Olsen Seawind.

“With this collaboration, Blåvinge is demonstrating how it’s possible to build on the Norwegian supply chains for the offshore wind industry. In order for offshore wind to become a new industrial adventure, we’re dependent on the authorities following up and announcing new areas for both floating and bottom-fixed wind farms” commented Finn Bjørn Ruyter, CEO of Hafslund Eco.

“Norway has unique potential for developing offshore wind energy, not least with floating offshore wind farms. Together with our strong Norwegian partners Fred. Olsen Seawind, and Hafslund Eco, we’re ready to write the next chapter of Norway’s energy story. The fact that we’ve now got such a talented player as Rosenberg on board testifies to the quality and knowledge that already exists among the suppliers in the Norwegian market” said Rasmus Errboe, Head of Continental Europe, Ørsted.

“Fred. Olsen Seawind, Hafslund Eco, and Ørsted have unique expertise and experience in offshore wind, power market, and marine operations. Their solidity and credibility make them the perfect partner in our goal of becoming a leading supplier to the offshore wind industry” stated Jan Narvestad, Managing Director of Rosenberg Worley.
