Dogger Bank signs vessel reservation agreement with Seaway 7

Starting in 2026, Seaway Ventus, a jack-up installation vessel, is due to commence turbine transport and installation work at the Dogger Bank site, installing GE Vernova Haliade-X offshore wind turbines.

The agreement represents additional work for Seaway 7 at the Dogger Bank development where the company has the contracts to transport and install the monopile foundations and transition pieces on all three phases of the project, with the works on Dogger Bank A complete and the works on Dogger Bank B substantially complete.

Turbine installation and commissioning work is continuing at Dogger Bank A, with completion of the first phase of the offshore windfarm expected in the second half of 2025.

When fully complete in 2027, Dogger Bank will be the world’s largest offshore windfarm, capable of powering around 6M UK homes annually.

Dogger Bank Wind Farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%) and Vårgrønn (20%). SSE Renewables is leading construction of the project on behalf of the three joint venture partners.

Equinor will be lead operator of the windfarm on completion for its expected operational life of around 35 years.
