Navantia Seanergies and Semco Maritime have joined forces to bring the capabilities of Europe’s largest industrial-scale manufacturer in offshore wind and the expertise of the HVAC offshore substation supplier.
The agreement between Navantia Seanergies and Semco Maritime was announced today (9 April) at a special event at the WindEurope exhibition in Copenhagen.
Thomas Thomsen, SVP of Semco Maritime’s Renewables division and Javier Herrador Navantia Seanergies Vice President, hosted the event at the Navantia Seanergies stand.
With this new European partnership, the companies bring together their capabilities to design and build reliable solutions that incorporate the lessons learned from more than 20 years of experience and over 30 offshore substations delivered worldwide, they said.
The pair said they will deliver EPC solutions that integrate this wealth of knowledge to create proven configurations.
The new partnership will offer an unparalleled lifecycle approach, taking advantage of the large experience of maintaining over 40 offshore substations across Europe, they added.
Herrador said: “Semco Maritime is a company with which we fully share our strategic vision and purpose.
“Regarding the promotion of the energy transition, the decarbonisation of society, and Europe’s energy independence, thanks to this alliance, we will grow together in the offshore wind market, gaining weight in the offshore substation segment, leveraging the synergies that both companies have in this market and the complementarity of our capabilities, knowledge, and corporate cultures.
“Partnerships have been part of Navantia Seanergies strategy, and pointing as an example the relationship with Windar Renovables for foundations for offshore wind turbines.”
Thomsen added: “This partnership marks a significant milestone for Semco Maritime as we continue to expand our footprint in the offshore wind sector.
“By combining our extensive experience in HVAC offshore substations with Navantia Seanergies’ industrial capabilities, we are poised to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions that meet the growing demand for clean energy.
“This new partnership will focus on projects in Europe and North America, complementing our existing collaboration with Vietnam’s PTSC M&C, which also includes the APAC market.
“We highly value our partnership with PTSC M&C and remain committed to its continued success.
“We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration brings and are confident that together, we will set new standards in the industry.”
