Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm Signs Vessel Reservation Agreement with Seaway7

Dogger Bank Offshore Wind Farm, a joint venture partnership between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn, has taken another significant step towards the construction of the offshore wind farm in the U.K. North Sea. The project has signed a vessel reservation agreement with Seaway7, a leading offshore installation and subsea services provider, to support the ongoing construction efforts.

The contract with Seaway7 represents a substantial commitment to the Dogger Bank offshore wind development, where Seaway7 is currently busy installing monopile foundations and transition pieces. The agreement is valued between $150 million and $300 million, demonstrating the scale and importance of the partnership.

Seaway7’s vessels, Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift, are currently engaged in installing monopile foundations and transition pieces for the Dogger Bank B phase of the offshore wind farm project. The team has already successfully completed the installation of all 95 transition pieces on Dogger Bank A and finished installing the foundations for the first phase of the project.

In total, 277 monopiles and transition pieces will be installed across all three phases of the wind farm, with completion scheduled for 2026. Once fully operational, the Dogger Bank will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world, boasting an installed capacity of 3.6 GW – enough to power six million UK households.

The first phase of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm has already begun exporting electricity to British consumers since 2023, marking a significant milestone in the transition towards renewable energy sources.
