Windhoist has secured a contract to provide local technicians to assist with pre-assembly works on MHI Vestas turbines for the 950MW Moray East offshore wind farm off the Aberdeenshire coast of Scotland.
The company has recruited 20 locally-based technicians to carry out the work.
Windhoist said the work starts this month and is expected to reach completion in September 2021.
The job is the third scope of works Windhoist has undertaken for MHI Vestas since providing initial services in late 2019.
Windhoist offshore director Willie Dawson said: “We are delighted with the awards we have achieved within our first year of gaining approved supplier status with MHI Vestas, we also have the benefit of each contract award relating to different areas of activity: offshore installation, offshore O&M, and now offshore pre-assembly.
“Our aim has been to develop a solid foundation from which Windhoist can provide further support to MHI Vestas in the upcoming period.”
Moray East will feature 100 MHI Vestas 9.5MW turbines.
