UAE, Dubai: Dubai’s Drydocks World and Maritime World signed an agreement to build a second offshore wind converter platform for TenneT.
The BorWin 3 Platform, a 900 MW HVDC converter station to be installed in the North Sea, is the fifth German offshore grid link order from TenneT for Siemens, and the second for Drydocks World to construct HVDC platforms.
Petrofac and Siemens won the contract for the BorWin3, which will be one of the world’s largest, with a transmission capacity of 900 MW, reports Seatrade Global.
Khamis Buamim, chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World, told Seatrade Global: “Although we have had other projects with Petrofac, this is one of the biggest [we will do with them]. We have already delivered the DolWin Beta and this is our second. Another three are being built in Germany.”
Platform design will be complete early next year and construction is scheduled for completion in 2017.
