RWE says it will establish an initial 30-person dedicated fleet servicing team for the U.K. and Germany to support its international offshore wind fleet.
The company has signed a three-year agreement with Global Wind Services to provide a team in both countries that will work collaboratively with existing operations and maintenance teams. RWE has also signed an 18-month contract with Rem Offshore/Rem Purus to provide the service operation vessel “Rem Wind.”
“These two new contracts with Global Wind Service to provide the technicians and Rem Offshore to provide the expertise and team of the Rem Wind vessel is essential to deliver our Fleet Servicing concept,” says Thomas Michel, COO for RWE Offshore Wind.
“It will create a step change in our RWE Offshore servicing strategy by moving from site scale planning and execution to a ‘Fleet Wide Servicing’ model. There are numerous additional benefits, including delivering improved Quality Health Safety Environment performance, commercial availability and wind farm integrity.“
