Kvaerner ASA has awarded a contract for the supply of mooring equipment to Hywind Tampen, Equinor's new floating wind farm. The contract is Scana Offshore's first hardware contract in the floating wind power market.
The delivery from Scana Offshore consists of 33 hull brackets, which are used to attach anchoring lines to the hulls on the 11 offshore wind turbines that make up the Hywind Tampen wind farm. The company will also provide ROV tools for possible replacement of the anchor lines.
Torkjell Lisland, Managing Director of Scana Offshore, has commented that the company has adjusted its strategy towards the green shift over the last four years. From being a supplier of equipment to the oil and gas industry, the company now focuses more on fish farming and floating wind power. Delivery to the offshore wind farm Hywind Tampen is the first major mooring contract Scana Offshore secures in this market segment.
For Scana Offshore, the Hywind Tampen project will start immediately, and the anchoring equipment will be delivered to Kvaerner in the Spring of 2021.
