On 20 September 2019, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s jack-up installation vessel Brave Tern successfully installed the final turbine on the Hohe See extension, Albatros. This completed the installation of a total of 87 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 turbines at the Hohe See (71 turbines/495MW) and Albatros (16 turbines/112MW) wind farms where the turbines have been installed in tandem by Blue Tern and Brave Tern.
"I am proud to have been working with such a competent and dedicated team throughout this project."
“Both Fred. Olsen Windcarrier vessels, Brave Tern and Blue Tern, have performed very well installing all 87 SWT-7.0-154 machines on Hohe See and Albatros. Their competent and proactive crew and installation team met our requirements for safe and efficient installations throughout the project,” says Marc Becker, COO and CSO of the Offshore Business Unit at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.
“I am proud to have been working with such a competent and dedicated team throughout this project,” Fred.
