OranjeWind Offshore Wind Project Secures Long-Term Vessel Charter with Purus
The OranjeWind offshore wind project, a collaboration between RWE and TotalEnergies, has finalized a five-year charter agreement with Purus for the use of the construction and service operation vessel (CSOV) named Purus Power. This vessel is specifically designed to support both planned and unplanned maintenance activities at the OranjeWind offshore wind farm. The agreement includes an option for extension, highlighting the long-term commitment to maintaining the wind farm's operations. The Purus Power is equipped with a diesel-electric and battery-hybrid propulsion system, and it features accommodations, office space, and a gym for maintenance personnel. It also includes an integrated walk-to-work system for safe technician transfers between the vessel and wind turbines. The wind farm, located 53 kilometers off the coast of IJmuiden in the Netherlands, will utilize 53 Vestas offshore wind turbines to generate up to 795 MW of green electricity, enough to power over 1 million Dutch households.
