Energy logistics firm Peterson has secured a contract to provide a fully integrated logistics solution for the Sofia offshore wind farm project through its client GE Vernova. GE Vernova is supplying the high voltage direct current transmission system for Sofia, including the Offshore Converter Platform. Peterson’s teams based at Den Helder in the Netherlands and Lowestoft in the UK will be managing the project including cargo runs, stevedoring, helicopter planning and chartering, warehousing, materials management, customs formalities, and the provision of key personnel in support of the installation of the converter platform for a period of 18 months. The project will be the first offshore wind farm in UK waters to utilise shared cargo runs from the Netherlands. This model has already been applied successfully to the Hollandse Kust North, South, and West projects. The RWE-developed Sofia offshore wind farm is located 195km off the UK east coast and will have the capacity to produce 1.4GW. It is part of the Dogger Bank offshore wind project which will be the world’s largest wind farm. Peterson has already started work following the installation of the jacket and topside. From its Den Helder site, currently provides helicopter logistics services for the installation vessel which is installing the 100 turbines that will feed into the offshore converter platform at the site. The company also provides facilities management services at the onshore converter station for the Dogger Bank C and Sofia wind farms, based at Lazenby. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsNetherlands Offshore Wind United Kingdom
