Dogger Bank wind farm hires second ship to install turbines
Dogger Bank Wind Farm, owned by SSE, Equinor and Vårgrønn, has contracted Cadeler to supply a second turbine installation vessel for Dogger Bank C, the third 1.2 gigawatt phase of the 3.6 gigawatt North Sea project. The newbuild vessel, Wind Apex, is expected to join the installation campaign in the third quarter of 2027. It will work alongside the existing vessel Seaway Ventus to install Dogger Bank C's 87 turbines.
Our readDogger Bank has locked in a second vessel this far ahead because the installation-vessel market is tight, with several North Sea offshore wind projects reaching construction at the same time.
