The Netherlands-based SeaZip Offshore Service has opened an office at the OrbisEnergy Centre in Lowestoft, UK, and signed a contract for the deployment of one of its service vessels to support installation work at the Galloper offshore wind farm.
SeaZip CEO Jan Reier Arends said: “It is eminently important in this business to be where the action is. The offshore wind industry in the UK is accelerating.”
“The UK is the undisputed pioneer in Europe with regard to the creation of offshore wind farms. As maritime service providers, we feel that being involved in this at a local level is vital.”
Commenting on the Galloper offshore wind farm contract, Arends said: “We couldn’t have asked for a better kick-off in the UK. All indications are that offshore operations are greatly accelerating. It is good to be part of this.”
SeaZip currently has a fleet comprising six Damen Fast Crew Supplier 2610 service vessels for the transport of crew and light freight.
