Esbjerg-based Esbagt has secured the contract to service Vestas at Ecowende's Hollandse Kust West offshore wind farm in the Netherlands and has consequently initiated the process of designing and building the new SOV. The company announced this in a statement.
The new SOV will be the 6th purpose-built SOV for Vestas and symbolizes the strong partnership between two innovative market leaders who have collaborated since 2010.
- Esvagt and Vestas share an extensive history and have been close partners in the development and optimization of the SOV concept since the beginning, working with offshore wind. The new contract not only underlines our shared ambition to constantly challenge the boundaries of efficient wind farm operation, says Søren Karas, Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer at Esvagt.
15-year contract
The new wind farm is expected to be operational in 2026, and the partners have entered into a 15-year contract with the option of extension. The contract is aligned with Vestas' service contract for EcoWende to ensure optimal performance of the turbines.
- We are pleased to expand our collaboration with ESVAGT, which has proven over many years that they can deliver high performance and adapt to market changes. We have always had a shared vision of continuously improving safety, quality and the sustainable development that is necessary in the future, says Keld Kristensen, Head of Operation Logistics Offshore at Vestas.
Ecowende will be built approximately 53 kilometers off the Dutch coast near IJmuiden. The wind farm will have an output of 760 MW.
