Aberdeen-based North Star Group said it has clinched the service operations vessel (SOV) contract to support the third phase of the SSE-led Dogger Bank Wind Farm off the coast of Yorkshire.
North Star said it secured a long-term charter worth £90 million to deliver an additional ship boasting its new hybrid-powered renewables fleet design for Dogger Bank C to support offshore wind technicians working in the field.
The new follows an announcement in March that North Star won the initial contract for Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B for the design and delivery of three SOVs in a deal worth £270 million.
“This will be the fourth SOV and associated daughter craft the business has been contracted to build and operate by Dogger Bank’s joint partners Equinor, SSE Renewables and Eni this year, making North Star the exclusive service vessel operator for the world’s largest wind farm for at least the next decade,” said the Aberdeen firm.
