Seaway Heavy Lifting has signed contracts with Dong Energy for the transportation and installation of multiple offshore substations in the UK.

The award consists of three contracts covering the transportation and installation of in total up to five platforms. The offshore substations will support the power transmission of Burbo Bank Extension, Race Bank and Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farms. For the execution of the projects Seaway Heavy Lifting will utilise both the Stanislav Yudin (2500 Mt lift capacity) and the Oleg Strashnov (5000 Mt lift capacity) crane vessels.

These awards follow the installation of the Westermost Rough offshore substation in 2014 for developer Westermost Rough Ltd. of which Dong Energy owns the majority shares.
