Triton-owned ocean services provider DeepOcean has secured an offshore wind survey contract. The company has been awarded a subsea survey contract on the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments in Poland, which are jointly developed by Equinor and Polenergia.
Polish company MEWO will serve as a subcontractor to DeepOcean.
DeepOcean will conduct geophysical seabed surveys of the export and inter-array cable seabed corridors, utilizing a survey remotely operated vehicle (SROV).
The work scope also includes surveys to map the seabed for potential unexploded ordnances (UXO).
The survey campaigns will be executed during early 2025.
DeepOcean’s flagship survey vessel, Edda Flora, will be mobilized for the main scope. Polish survey company MEWO will serve as a subcontractor for UXO surveys, utilising the vessel Amber Cecilia.
The Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments are a joint venture between Equinor and Polenergia, and will have a total combined capacity of 1.44 GW enough to power more than two million households.
“A dedicated survey ROV will have significant efficiency gains when compared with the alternative of using slower work class ROVs configured with a survey sensor payload. We look forward to supporting Equinor and Polenergia on these important offshore wind projects,” said Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean.
DeepOcean’s Superior SROV has surveyed thousands of kilometres of subsea survey annually.
