Wind Energy – Framework Contract
Van Oord’s subsidiary MPI Offshore has signed a three-year framework contract with Vattenfall to charter offshore installation vessel MPI Resolution.
The MPI Resolution will be tasked with servicing Vattenfall turbines with a maximum power output of 5 MW across Northern Europe.
Wind turbines rotate and inevitably experience wear and tear over time, necessitating scheduled maintenance and unscheduled repairs. The enhanced availability of the MPI Resolution will help maximise the efficiency of Vattenfall’s offshore turbines, ultimately increasing fossil-free electricity generation from its existing assets.
This contract will provide guaranteed availability of the vessel for several months each year, primarily during the peak maintenance season from early March to late October.
The MPI Resolution is an offshore installation vessel owned by Van Oord. For several years now, MPI Offshore has delivered O&M services across Vattenfall’s entire portfolio of offshore wind farms in Europe.
