DeepOcean Secures Subsea Survey Contract for Bałtyk 2 and 3 Offshore Wind Developments
DeepOcean, a leading ocean services provider, has recently announced the successful acquisition of a subsea survey contract for the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments in Poland. These projects are a collaboration between Equinor and Polenergia, two prominent energy companies in the region.
The scope of the contract involves conducting geophysical seabed surveys of the export and inter-array cable seabed corridors using a specialized survey remotely operated vehicle (SROV). Additionally, DeepOcean will be responsible for mapping the seabed for potential unexploded ordnances (UXO), with Polish company MEWO serving as a subcontractor for this specific task using the vessel Amber Cecilia.
The survey campaigns are scheduled to take place in early 2025, showcasing DeepOcean’s commitment to delivering high-quality services in a timely manner. The company’s flagship survey vessel, Edda Flora, will be mobilized for the main scope of work, along with the Superior SROV.
With a total combined capacity of 1.44 GW, the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments are expected to power over two million households once operational. This joint venture between Equinor and Polenergia represents a significant milestone in the renewable energy sector.
Efficiency and Expertise
Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean, expressed confidence in the project’s success, stating that the use of a dedicated survey ROV will result in significant efficiency gains compared to traditional methods. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and expertise, DeepOcean aims to support Equinor and Polenergia in achieving their goals for these crucial offshore wind projects.
Overall, the subsea survey contract for the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments underscores DeepOcean’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and excellence in the field of ocean services. With a strong track record of delivering successful projects, the company continues to play a vital role in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
As the renewable energy industry continues to grow, partnerships and collaborations such as the one between DeepOcean, Equinor, and Polenergia will be essential in driving progress towards a more sustainable future.
