Less than four months ago, CBED announced an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service contract with DanTysk Sandbank Offshore Wind GmbH & Co. KG for the remainder of 2022.

CBED this week announces a new project award in relation to the ongoing collaboration with the DanTysk & Sandbank owner, a joint venture between Vattenfall Europe Windkraft GmbH and Stadtwerke München GmbH Vattenfall, securing full activity for the SOV, Wind Innovation, from Q1 to Q4 2023.  

Daniel Alon, General Manager, CBED, commented:
"Following a positive project opening, we are excited to extend our collaboration and offer comfortable living onboard Wind Innovation for the service teams for a prolonged period. In fact, this new contract marks CBED’s 30th offshore wind assignment and also on this occasion we expect our joint operations to contribute to CBED’s collective and unparalleled offshore experience.”

Fit for purpose SOV

For the scope of the procurement, DanTysk Sandbank Offshore Wind required a Walk-to-Work vessel which was equipped with DP2, gangway capabilities and which at the same time, met all technical and HS requirements.

For this specific project, the offshore operations will benefit from the adjustable pedestal gangway, allowing the flexibility of connecting Wind Innovation to transition pieces of different heights across the two involved wind farms. Wind Innovation can operate as low as 11,95 m (LAT) from the lowest operation level up to 26,45 m (HAT) from the highest operating level.

As also announced in connection with the project win in May 2022, CBED will use the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark as base port for crew change and loading of fresh supplies throughout the project period.
