Wind Energy – Six Wind Farms
Specialist Marine Consultants, an OEG company, has been awarded a three-year contract by Ørsted to deliver crane and lift servicing, lifting inspection, and maintenance support across its German offshore wind cluster, comprising six wind farms.
The topside division has held the original framework agreement since 2020. This new award commenced in January 2025 and includes options for two additional one-year extensions.
Under the agreement, OEG’s experienced and certified operations and maintenance (O&M) technicians will inspect a total of 337 turbines across the cluster, operating from a vessel provided by Ørsted and mobilised from the Port of Emden, at the mouth of the river Ems to the North Sea.
The scope of work covers comprehensive inspections of lifting equipment, cranes, service lifts, and associated electrical and mechanical components. It also includes safety-critical checks on anchor points, ladders, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and evacuation equipment.
In addition, OEG will provide ad-hoc crane and lifting support for minor repairs and troubleshooting as needed.
