Windfarm Support Services

The service we offer includes boulder clearance operations and Pre-Lay Grapnel Run (PLGR) campaigns, essential steps in preparing the seabed for cable installation. Our vessels, specially adapted for offshore wind support, are equipped with advanced active heave compensated cranes, dynamic positioning systems, and sophisticated subsea tools, enabling precise and safe execution of these operations in challenging offshore environments. We employ meticulous planning and cutting-edge technology to clear the seabed of obstacles, ensuring a stable and secure pathway for laying subsea cables. Our experienced crew, combined with our in-house engineering expertise, allows us to handle varying seabed conditions efficiently, reducing potential risks and delays. This attention to detail sets the stage for successful cable installation and long-term wind farm performance.

In addition to seabed preparation, we specialize in Service Operation Vessel (SOV) operations to support the commissioning of offshore substations and turbines. Our SOVs are retrofitted with state-of-the-art dynamic positioning technology and advanced motion-compensated gangway systems to ensure safe and steady personnel transfers, even in harsh sea conditions. These vessels serve as a stable base for technicians and engineers working on the offshore turbines and substations, facilitating the transport of essential tools, equipment, and spare parts needed during the critical commissioning phase. With spacious onboard accommodation facilities, our SOVs can support extended offshore operations, providing a comfortable and safe environment for the crew. By minimizing weather-related downtime and optimizing logistical support, our SOV operations significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of the wind farm commissioning process.

We also offer Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) services that are pivotal in transitioning a wind farm from the construction phase to fully operational status. Our CSOVs are specially designed to meet the unique demands of the offshore wind industry, featuring adaptable storage facilities, high-capacity cranes, and integrated ROV capabilities for subsea inspection, maintenance, and intervention tasks. These vessels play a critical role in cable installation, turbine assembly, and ongoing maintenance activities, providing a versatile platform that ensures the seamless progression of wind farm operations. The CSOVs are further equipped with dynamic positioning systems and advanced control technologies to maintain their position with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring safe and efficient handling of components and equipment. Our CSOV services help optimize project timelines, reduce risks, and enable a smooth handover from construction to operation.

Our in-house engineering team is the backbone of our ability to support the offshore wind industry effectively. By leveraging our technical expertise, we have successfully converted our existing fleet to perform specialized tasks in offshore wind projects, allowing us to offer a broader range of services. Our engineers collaborate closely with clients to develop tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of each project, from customizing deck layouts for specific cargo requirements to integrating cutting-edge subsea technology. This proactive approach allows us to implement innovative methods, streamline operations, and adapt to evolving industry demands, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
