Vattenfall and Ziton Extend O&M Cooperation

Vattenfall Wind Power AB and Ziton A/S have signed an extension of their current framework agreement which will see Ziton providing jack-up vessels for major component replacements at Vattenfall’s offshore wind farms for one additional year.

As a result, the framework agreement will expire in November 2020, Ziton said.

Vattenfall and Ziton signed the initial three-year framework agreement in November 2016.

Ziton, former DBB Jack-up Services A/S, owns and operates three vessels, J/U Wind, J/U Wind Pioneer, and J/U Wind Server.

The Danish company has also recently chartered Vroon’s jack-up MPI Enterprise on a bareboat agreement, with an option to buy.

Apart from Vattenfall, Ziton has a similar agreement in place with Ørsted.
