DeepOcean secures offshore wind survey contract

Norwegian ocean services provider DeepOcean has been awarded a subsea survey contract on the Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments in Poland, which are jointly developed by Equinor and Polenergia.

Polish company MEWO will serve as a subcontractor to DeepOcean.

In fulfilment of the contract, DeepOcean will conduct geophysical seabed surveys of the export and inter-array cable seabed corridors, utilising a dedicated survey remotely operated vehicle (SROV). The work scope also includes surveys to map the seabed for potential unexploded ordnance (UXO).

The survey campaigns will be executed in the Baltic Sea during early 2025.

DeepOcean’s flagship survey vessel Edda Flora will be mobilised for the main scope. MEWO will serve as a subcontractor for UXO surveys, utilising the vessel Amber Cecilia.

The Bałtyk 2 and 3 offshore wind developments are a joint venture between Equinor and Polenergia, and will have a total combined capacity of 1.44 GW, enough to power more than two million households.
