Van Oord Wins Vattenfall O&M Contract

The O&M contract has a runtime of four years and includes planned and unplanned maintenance campaigns for approximately 600 Vattenfall wind turbine generators. The parties both have the option of extending the contract for another year.

"Van Oord is a trusted partner that can help us improve our O&M activities even further. Guaranteed availability of jack-ups for main component exchanges will ensure faster response times and ultimately reduce downtime and lost revenue. We look forward to extending our relationship and will continue working together to achieve Vattenfall’s ambition of making fossil-free living possible within one generation," says Catrin Jung, Head of Offshore Wind Vattenfall.

During the contract period, Vattenfall's offshore portfolio will be extended to 622 turbines with a combined capacity of 2.6 GW.

"We are very proud that we have been selected by Vattenfall for this 4-year framework contract. This award builds upon what is already an excellent relationship between Vattenfall and Van Oord and fits right in with our strategic views of the market. We look forward to continuing to provide the level of service that Vattenfall have come to expect," says Arnoud Kuis, Managing Director Van Oord Offshore Wind.

Offshore installation vessel MPI Resolution will be the main vessel executing the works.
