Siem Offshore’s, Norwegian marine operator, new installation support vessel was christened “Siem Moxie” at the naming ceremony at the port of Hamburg. E.ON is taking over the patronage of the ship.
The “Siem Moxie” will be deployed on E.ON’s Amrumbank West offshore wind farm project by Siem Offshore Contractors for the installation of the inner array grid submarine cable system. It will be the vessel’s first area of operation.
Amrumbank West is an offshore wind farm located north of Helgoland in the North Sea, which E.ON has been building since January 2014. Capital expenditures on the project will total about €1 billion. Amrumbank West will extend over 32 square kilometres. Its 80 technologically advanced 3.6 megawatt wind turbines will give it a total capacity of 288 megawatts, enough to power up to 300,000 households. Since 2006, E.ON has invested just under €9 billion in renewables and is currently the world’s third-largest operator of offshore wind farms.
