Seacat Services has signed a two-year contract with Siemens Gamesa to supply charter services for operations and maintenance activity at Innogy’s 336MW Galloper wind farm off the UK east coast.
The Isle of Wight-based company will deploy two catamarans from its 14-vessel fleet to the project off Suffolk: Seacat Vigilant and Seacat Liberty.
The first of 56 Siemens 6MW turbines was installed at Galloper this month. The project is expected to be fully operational by 2018.
“We’ve worked closely with Siemens Gamesa to ascertain which of our vessels are the best fit for this contract and will ultimately create long-term value by ensuring operations at Galloper get off to the strongest start possible,” Seacat managing director Ian Baylis said.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing Seacat Liberty and the newly-refitted Seacat Vigilant onto the contract.”
