Swire Blue Ocean has signed a contract with Siemens to provide a wind farm installation vessel for the installation of 84 Siemens 7MW wind turbines at the Beatrice offshore wind farm.
The company said the latest contract adds to the pipeline of projects that it has secured for its fleet of wind farm installation vessels, namely Pacific Osprey and Pacific Orca.
The 588MW wind farm is located in the Outer Moray Firth, off the east coast of Scotland.
Offshore construction will begin in 2017, and the wind farm is expected to become fully operational in 2019.
