Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has hired Dutch company Peterson Chemicals to provide logistical services for the 402MW Veja Mate offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The three-year contract includes the supply of Jet A1 aviation fuel in six tanks, which Peterson will provide and maintain.
The tanks have capacity of 1200 and 2000 litres and have been specially designed for the Veja Mate wind farm.
The fuel tanks will be transported to the Siemens service base facility in Eemshaven from Peterson’s supply base in Den Helder, before being shipped to the project site.
Siemens Gamesa has also extended to three years a one-year framework agreement with Peterson Chemicals for similar work at the 600MW Gemini offshore wind farm off the coast of the Netherlands.
Peterson Chemicals deputy director Rob van Duivenvoorde said: “We are proud to have built an excellent working relationship with Siemens which is demonstrated by their decision, to not only extend the current one year contract to three years, but also to expand the scope of work to include the Veja Mate wind farm.”
