Orsted has signed a contract with UK outfit Manor Renewable Energy to provide the full temporary power package of generators, personnel and vessels for the 1218MW Hornsea 1 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
Manor will provide the support starting in January, utilising its own multi-purpose vessel, Manor Venture, to lead their project scope.
The vessel comes with an onboard capacity of 40 tonnes and accommodation for 12 personnel.
It has been manufactured in Portland in Dorset, while the generators will be provided by another UK company JCB.
MRE director Toby Mead said: “We’re delighted to once again be working with the global leader in offshore wind, on what will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
“What’s more – we know that Orsted place significant importance to ensuring UK content for their UK offshore wind farms, so we’re especially pleased to continue to hire from the local area and be able to offer a UK vessel, with UK generators.”
