From summer 2018, A2SEA will play a key role in building the 385MW Arkona Offshore Wind Farm for E.ON and Statoil in the Baltic Sea
A2SEA’s purpose-built offshore installation vessel SEA CHALLENGER will be deployed to install the 60 Siemens 6MW turbines in 2018.
”We are very proud to be chosen by E.ON to install the Arkona Offshore Wind Farm. The contract cements A2SEA’s position in the installation market as a competent, serious contractor and our experienced crew both onshore and offshore is ready for yet another seamless, well-planned and safe operation. We look very much forward to working with the project team,” says Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO at A2SEA.
The Arkona Offshore Wind Farm is located in the Baltic Sea. E.ON will have responsibility for building and operating the wind farm. The energy company Statoil will have a 50-percent stake and be involved in the project from the start. When fully commissioned, the offshore wind farm will provide electricity to approx. 400.000 German homes by 2019.
