The Dogger Bank wind farm has entered into a contract with Seaway7, part of the Seaway7 Group, to charter a second turbine installation vessel to assist with the ongoing development of the offshore wind farm located off the coast of England. This contract follows an earlier reservation agreement between Dogger Bank and Seaway7, which was announced in December 2024.
As part of the agreement, the Seaway Ventus jack-up installation vessel will begin supporting and installing GE Vernova Haliade-X offshore wind turbines at the Dogger Bank site in mid-2026.
This contract adds to Seaway7’s existing work at the Dogger Bank development, where the company is already contracted for the transport and installation of monopile foundations and transition pieces across all three phases of the project. The work on Dogger Bank A is complete, and significant progress has been made on Dogger Bank B.
Installation and commissioning of turbines are currently underway at Dogger Bank A, with the first phase of the offshore wind farm expected to be completed in the second half of 2025.
Once fully operational, Dogger Bank will become the largest offshore wind farm in the world, capable of supplying power to approximately 6 million homes in the UK each year.
The Dogger Bank wind farm is a joint venture involving SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%), and Vårgrønn (20%). SSE Renewables is spearheading the construction of the project on behalf of the three partners, while Equinor will take on the role of lead operator once the wind farm is completed, overseeing its expected operational lifespan of around 35 years.
