Tidal Transit’s windfarm service vessels, Eden Rose, has recently been chartered by Great Yarmouth based Dawson Energy, part of the 3Sun Group, to undertake the first 500 hour service of a number of Siemens wind turbines at the Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm.
Situated 8km off the Yorkshire Coast, north of Hull, Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm consists of 35 6MW capacity turbines on a site which covers a total area of 35km². Now complete, it will provide enough electricity to power around 150,000 UK homes every year.
This latest charter for Tidal Transit began on 01 June 2015 and will run for a minimum period of 25 days. Eden Rose, its crew and support team will be responsible for the safe transfer of turbine technicians from land to the turbines.
Tidal Transit’s Commercial Director Leo Hambro said:
“I’m delighted Tidal Transit is returning to Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm with Dawson Energy. This most recent contract for Eden Rose to work at Westermost Rough follows that for her sister vessel, Kitty Petra. This is the first, but I anticipate not the last time, two Norfolk Companies, Dawson Energy and Tidal Transit, will work together in Humberside’s wind energy business sector.”
