This contract will play a significant role in enabling the construction of the offshore elements of the Hornsea 3 wind farm. Once complete, Hornsea 3, with its 197 wind turbines, will be capable of generating enough renewable electricity to power more than 3.3 million UK homes.
Luke Bridgman, MD for Hornsea 3, Ørsted, said: “On Hornsea 3, we value working with trusted partners such as Seaway7 who know how we operate and with whom we have a positive track record. This contract represents one of the bigger links in the Hornsea 3 chain and helps take us closer to delivering the world’s single largest offshore wind farm.”
Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO of Seaway7, added: “With this award we look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Ørsted. Hornsea 3 represents our seventh offshore wind project together, having also installed the inter-array cables on the two previous offshore wind farms in the Hornsea zone, Hornsea 1 and Hornsea 2.”
