Allseas has been contracted for the transport and installation (T&I) of two substations (OSS) for the Gennaker offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea, developed by transmission operator 50Hertz.
Gennaker is located 15 kilometres off the German coast near the Darß peninsula, and will have a production capacity of 900 MW. Awarded by the Dutch-Belgian HSI consortium, HSM Offshore Energy, Smulders and Iv, the contract is for the Gennaker West (OSS-DarB) and East(OSS-Zingst) converter platforms, including supporting suction buckets jackets. The HSI Joint Venture is responsible for delivering the two platforms. Allseas will deploy its heavy lift vessel Pioneering Spirit to install the suction buckets jackets and the 61-metre-long, 34-metre-wide topsides in one offshore campaign.
