Blue Tern to support jacket installation campaign on Neart na Goithe
Friday 20 May 2022
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier (FOWIC) has won a contract with jack-up installation vessel the Blue Tern for supporting the jacket installation campaign on the Neart na Goithe (NnG) offshore wind farm. The contract is included in FOWIC’s disclosed total backlog with a value of approximately EUR 355 million.
Blue Tern will support the jacket installation campaign by doing drilling and possibly piling works. In early May of 2022, Saipem started mobilisation work on the Blue Tern in Esbjerg. After this, she will transit to Blyth to start the work on NnG. Back in late February, Blue Tern left Fayard in Demnark where she underwent upgrade work and then went straight on to the Kaskasi project off the coast of the German Island Helgoland.
The Blue Tern is a fantastic asset, and we look forward to seeing her utilised in support of the jacket installation works
A spokesperson for NnG said: “We are delighted to have FOWIC and the Blue Tern engaged in what will be an exciting phase in the development of NnG. The Blue Tern is a fantastic asset, and we look forward to seeing her utilised in support of the jacket installation works.”
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier says: “We are pleased to have been awarded the extra work on NnG and we look forward to working with them to safely deliver on this project”.
