Vattenfall Needs Air Support

Vattenfall Europe Windkraft GmbH is looking for a provider of helicopter services for the offshore wind farms DanTysk, Sandbank, Horns Rev 1 and Horn Rev 3.

The EUR 6 million framework agreement is divided into two lots and will last for 2 years.

The first lot covers crew transfers, either on a fixed day or on demand, of up to 12 persons to and from the wind farm, while the lot two covers troubleshooting activities including hoisting operations. Applying to all two lots is desirable but not mandatory. The base port for the operations will be the airport of Esbjerg, Denmark.

Tenders must be submitted in English and in written form electronically by 20 September.

The 160MW Horns Rev 1 wind farm has been operational since 2002, and the 288MW DanTysk was put into operation in April 2015.

The 288MW Sandbank and the 400MW Horns Rev 3 are currently under construction.

Sandbank is expected to be commissioned at the beginning of 2017, while Horns Rev 3 is to be put into operation in 2018.
