Norway-based DeepOcean has been awarded a subsea survey contract for the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms, located in Poland’s Baltic Sea.
Developed jointly by Equinor and Polenergia, the projects will use 100 SG 14-236 DD wind turbines, installed by Cadeler. The associated export and inter-array cables will be provided by Hellenic Cables from Greece, while Tele-Fonika Kable from Poland has already delivered the initial batches of onshore cables.
As part of the contract, DeepOcean will carry out geophysical seabed surveys of the cable corridors using a specialized survey remotely operated vehicle (SROV). The scope of work also includes surveys to detect any potential unexploded ordnances (UXO). The Edda Flora survey vessel will be mobilized for the project, with Poland's MEWO company assisting by using the Amber Cecilia vessel for the UXO surveys.
Øyvind Mikaelsen, CEO of DeepOcean, stated, “Using a dedicated survey ROV will provide significant efficiency gains compared to slower work class ROVs configured with a survey sensor payload. We are excited to support Equinor and Polenergia on these pivotal offshore wind projects.”
The Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 projects are set to provide a combined total capacity of 1,440 MW, enough to power over two million households with renewable energy. They will be located 37 and 22 kilometers off the Polish coast near Ustka and Łeba.
