Emirates-based Drydocks World will build the topside for Tennet’s 700MW offshore substation Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) Alpha.
Drydocks World signed a contract with Petrofac and Tennet for the high voltage alternating current (HVAC) transformer station topside, which will be completed in 2021.
Drydocks World’s scope of work for the 3500-tonne topside includes production engineering, construction, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning assistance, load-out, sea fastening and HVAC engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning.
DP World Maritime Services division chief executive Rado Antolovic said: “The role of renewables is continuing to gain prominence in the global energy market, and Drydocks World is well-versed in the evolving technologies of the offshore industry to develop this segment.
“Everyone at Drydocks World is committed to developing innovative solutions and keeping safety as our top priority. We are pleased to be working with Petrofac and TenneT again, after previously completing several projects together for the North Sea.”
