It is the first sole supplier maintenance contract that has been awarded to Sembmarine SLP.

The PPM contract was awarded to Sembmarine SLP after the completion of the offshore installation, hook-up and commissioning of platforms at the Hornsea 2 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK in March this year.

Sembmarine SLP managing director Colin Yaxley said: “We are greatly looking forward to working with Ørsted once again and expanding our experience of servicing offshore wind farms.

“Our success on the hook-up and commissioning of the Hornsea 2 Offshore Wind Farm platforms fabricated by our sister company, Sembcorp Marine Offshore Platforms in Singapore, has been a large contributing factor to our award for the PPM contract.

This exclusive contract will position Sembmarine SLP as Ørsted’s main service provider for Hornsea 2 Offshore Wind Farm’s LV and ancillary systems, enabling enhanced operational efficiency and greater risk mitigation for the developer.
