INSTALLATION OF THE FIRST TURBINE ON DUDGEON OFFSHORE WINDFARM


The first turbine out of the 67 Siemens 6MW turbines was installed safely on 7 January 2017 by the experienced crew on board A2Sea’s installation vessel Sea Challenger at the new Dudgeon Offshore Windfarm for Statoil, Masdar and Statkraft.


GREEN PORT HULL FIRST


During the coming months, the vessel will install the turbines being shipped from Green Port Hull in the UK. This is the first time, the Port of Hull will be used as a load out port for an offshore wind project.


VESSEL VERSATILITY


Since 1 September 2016, the vessel has been used for offshore accommodation during completion and commissioning of the offshore substation. The vessel was jacked up to 20m above sea level and had accommodation for 80 persons including the A2SEA crew. During this period the vessel has gained good knowledge of the site and built up a very good working relationship with both Siemens and Statoil.


TEAMWORK


CEO at A2SEA, Jens Frederik Hansen is very satisfied with the dedicated and professional performance by the crew both onshore and offshore: “We have wide experience in handling the Siemens 6MW turbines, but it cannot be done without good team work. It is a great pleasure to once again work together with Siemens, but also our renewed cooperation and partnership with Statoil, which started on their first offshore wind project Sheringham Shoal and now continues on the Dudgeon project.”
