DONG extends contract for offshore wind vessel crew transfer contract
CWind, a provider of services to the offshore wind industry, announced that DONG Energy has granted CWind a two-year extension to its existing three-year crew-transfer vessel contract at the West of Duddon Sands Offshore Wind Farm in the Irish Sea.
The contract extension builds on CWind’s solid track record over the first three years of the project.
CWind will provide vessels for operations and maintenance services for the 108-turbine West of Duddon Sands site. The agreement also includes a summer campaign to ensure the site remains operating at peak performance throughout the busier summer months.
“Winning a contract from a paper-based submission, as we did three years ago, is one thing, but securing an extension demonstrates our actual on-site performance levels and customer satisfaction,” said Lee Andrews, Managing Director at CWind. “We have delivered on service and exceeded expectations in many areas, and we are determined to do the same over the next two years, relying on our can-do attitude and resourceful approach.”
The robust and lightweight composite construction of the CTVs have proved to deliver fuel efficiencies and significant CO2 emission savings.
