OEG, an energy solutions provider, has secured a major contract from OWP Gennaker to deliver a subsea corrosion protection system for the Gennaker Offshore Wind Farm in Germany’s Baltic Sea.
The project is being developed by offshore wind
infrastructure platform Skyborn Renewables.
Under the contract, OEG will provide Impressed Current
Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems designed to protect the wind farm’s turbine
foundations from corrosion throughout their operational life, supporting
long-term reliability and performance.
OEG’s scope covers the full project lifecycle, including
detailed engineering, procurement, manufacturing oversight, offshore logistics,
installation, testing and commissioning.
Its project management and offshore teams will carry out the
installation campaign using established methodologies and specialist subsea
equipment.
OEG will work with cathodic protection specialist CORROSION
to deploy the ICCP-Subsea Assembly Method (SAM), a remote installation system
jointly developed by the companies.
The technology is designed to enable safer and more
efficient installation of ICCP systems on subsea structures while reducing
offshore installation complexity.
The contract strengthens OEG’s expanding position in
Europe’s offshore wind market and adds to its growing portfolio of offshore
construction, installation and asset integrity projects for developers and Tier
1 contractors.
Engineering and procurement activities will begin
immediately, followed by manufacturing support, system integration and offshore
installation in line with the wind farm’s construction schedule.
The award also expands OEG’s subsea offshore wind
capabilities, which include construction and installation, cathodic protection,
remotely operated vehicle operations, survey and positioning, inspection,
repair and maintenance, cable support and intervention, and offshore project
management and engineering.
The contract reinforces OEG’s role in supporting the
development and long-term integrity of Europe’s expanding offshore renewable
energy infrastructure.
Rutger Lieverse, Commercial Director for OEG's Subsea
division, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by OWP Gennaker for
this important project. It reflects the confidence our clients place in our
ability to deliver integrated corrosion protection solutions that combine
engineering expertise, innovative technology and specialist offshore
installation capabilities.”
Lieverse added: “By working alongside CORROSION, we're
bringing together complementary expertise to deliver a safe, efficient and
reliable solution for one of Germany's most significant offshore wind
developments. As offshore wind continues to expand across Europe, we're committed
to supporting developers with innovative technologies and integrated services
that maximise asset performance throughout their operational life." -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
