On 3 October 2019, DEME Offshore’s ‘Sea Challenger’ and crew completed the installation of 174 SWT-7.0 MW turbines at Hornsea One, the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
“I am very proud to announce that DEME Offshore’s ‘Sea Challenger’ and crew together with our client and colleagues from Ørsted, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Fred. Olsen Wind Carrier have now finalised the installation of the turbines on the Hornsea One offshore wind farm. I would like to extend a special thanks and congratulations to the entire team behind the operation for an outstanding safety performance as well as a smooth project execution,” says Michael Glavind, Business Unit Director at DEME Offshore.
On board the vessel, Master Jack Amtsbiller is also very pleased with the project. “Being part of building the world’s largest wind farm has been a great experience for us. We started on the project in February 2019 and installed the last turbine on 3 October 2019. The construction of Hornsea One is another step towards a greener future, not only for us, but also for the next generations. It has been a pleasure to work closely together with Ørsted and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. We have been working as one close team on board of the ‘Sea Challenger’ rather than as three different companies.”
