Vestas has chosen global integrated logistics and materials management company Asco to provide shipping services including crew transfer at the Seagreen offshore wind farm off Scotland’s Angus coast.
Asco’s ship agency division Seletar will provide the services initially during the construction phase working from the port of Montrose.
Seletar service delivery manager Ross Irvine said: “This latest contract win emphasises our position in the renewables landscape, something we have been committed to doing for some time.
“Over a period of a few years, we have seen a diversification in the industry and whilst our traditional core activities in marine and energy industries remain hugely important to us, we have evolved and developed skills to become more sustainable.
“The transferability of our skills and competences is a key strength in a market diversification strategy, enabling us to support the energy transition whilst enhancing the sustainability of our company.”
Vestas offshore commissioning project manager Paul Grant said: “Vestas has an agreement with Seletar to provide all shipping agent services for the commissioning and completion phase of the Seagreen offshore wind farm.
“Vestas look forward to continuing the relationship established on previous projects and together contributing to the continued growth of renewable energy in the region.”
