Global Maritime Consultancy & Engineering is to provide marine warranty services for Deepwater Wind’s 30MW Block Island wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.
The company said the work includes a technical review of all installation procedures and calculations, survey and inspection of installation vessels, witnessing of the installation of turbines and subsea cables, and issuing of certificates of approval.
Global Maritime Consultancy & Engineering chief executive officer David Sutton said: “As a leader in marine warranty services, we will help set the standards in offshore wind operations in the US, developing technical audits, assessing the readiness of operations, and reducing risk.”
Global Maritime Consultancy & Engineering manager Thomas Smith said: “With Deepwater Wind having a number of other potential projects, as do others, we will continue to look for opportunities in this sector, both in marine warranty and in engineering.
Block Island is located 15km from the coast of the State of Rhode Island and will consist of five GE 6MW Haliade turbines.
It is scheduled to become operational in November.
