Iberdrola hires ABL to oversee Windanker offshore installation work
Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been awarded a new contract to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services to support the offshore construction of Iberdrola’s 315 MW Windanker offshore wind farm, offshore Germany.
ABL Germany, based in Hamburg, will provide MWS services to support the offshore transportation and installation (T&I) campaign relating to the foundations, inter-array cables and wind turbine generators (WTGs). Its scope of work includes the provision of expert technical review and approval of documents, operations and vessels relating to the warranted assets.
“We are delighted to have been awarded the Windanker contract following our recent collaboration with Iberdrola on the Baltic Eagle project.”
Tilo Klappenbach, ABL Germany’s Country Manager
The Windanker project is a major offshore wind farm in Germany located in the Baltic Sea about 25 kilometres offshore. It consists of 21 15MW WTGs, with a combined capacity of 315MW. The installation activities are scheduled for 2025 and 2026, with project commissioning expected by the end of 2026.
“Our main role is to help minimise risk and to ensure that offshore operations are conducted safely and efficiently. We have an extensive track-record of supporting offshore wind farm projects, and we will apply this know-how to the Windanker project.”
