Medevac Chopper and Crew Wanted for Baltic Wind Farms

German transmission system operator 50Hertz Transmission GmbH and three offshore wind developers and operators are seeking a helicopter, including aeronautical and medical crew, to rescue injured persons working on four offshore wind projects in the Baltic Sea.

The contract is expected to start on 1 October 2017, and end on 30 September 2020, with an option for a one year extension.

The inclusion of other contract partners during the contract award procedure and/or the execution of the contract remains reserved.

The tender will remain open until 4 May 2017.
