BP and EnBW tap Interocean for offshore wind farm work

Offshore support services provider Interocean Marine Services has won a three-year contract to provide marine vetting and assurance to the Morgan, Mona, and Morven offshore wind projects.

The three projects are being developed under a joint venture between energy giant BP and Energie Württemberg (EnBW).

Morgan and Mona are located in the Irish Sea approximately 22-37 km from the coast, covering a combined area of approximately 580 sq km.

Situated in the North Sea, approximately 60 km from the coast of Aberdeen, Morven spans an area of approximately 860 sq km, with water depths varying from 21 to 76 m.

With a total projected generating capacity of 5.9GW – enough to power the equivalent of around six million UK households annually – the three wind farms are expected to contribute to the UK’s target of 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

“As a UK headquartered company, we take immense pride in supporting initiatives that have the potential to enhance energy security and benefit local communities,” said Alex Reid, Interocean COO.
