GREAT YARMOUTH WINS TURBINE INSTALLATION CONTRACT
EastPort UK announced the outer harbour had been selected by A2Sea as the reloading base for the installation of wind turbines on the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm.
Danish headquartered A2Sea A/S, whose main shareholders are DONG Energy and Siemens, is the most experienced installation contractor in the offshore wind market. Since installing turbines on Horns Rev, the World’s first commercial scale wind farm, in 2002, A2Sea’s vessels have installed more than 650 wind turbines and 300 foundations working in northern Europe from the Baltic to the Irish Sea, including the monopoles and turbines for Scroby Sands.
Eddie Freeman, EastPort UK’s CEO said “I am delighted that A2Sea, a highly respected and experienced company, has chosen Great Yarmouth port for its project port for the next 8 to 10 months, particularly in view of the stiff competition we faced. We have steadfastly maintained that the construction of the outer harbour will create new markets and opportunities for Great Yarmouth and this announcement along with others recently reported continue to endorse positively the value the development brings to Great Yarmouth and the region.”
