Vattenfall has chosen the Port of Hvide Sande on the Danish West Coast as the operation and maintenance hub for Horns Rev 3 offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
When the facility is established, service vessels will depart with service technicians and equipment on a daily basis from Hvide Sande to the wind farm existing of 49 wind turbines approximately 25-40 kilometres off the coast in the North Sea. The operation and maintenance from Hvide Sande will begin when the warranty period ends with MHI Vestas in 2024. Until then investigations will be conducted on what exact facilities will be needed at the port.
