US: Semco Maritime and ISC Consulting Engineers, based in Denmark, have teamed up with consultancy WSP USA to target offshore grid opportunities in the US offshore wind market.
The partnership will combine Semco Maritime and ISC’s offshore wind farm and substation engineering and construction experience with WSP’s expertise in US offshore wind permitting and engineering, according to the companies.
The three parties have previously worked together on “multiple” US offshore projects, including the 804 MW Mayflower Wind, in relation to connecting offshore wind farms to onshore power grids and provision of “specialised” engineering services for offshore high-voltage power substations.
In forming their alliance, Semco Maritime, WSP USA and ISC will be able to “collaborate more effectively”, thereby adding “further value” for clients.
“We developed our relationship through joint business opportunities where we could see that a winning factor was the ability to marry offshore wind experience with local knowledge,” said Tommy Flindt, Semco Maritime offshore wind engineering and technology director (right).
He added: “Over the past year, this has grown into a strong partnership and we aim to make this collaboration available to as many clients as possible.”
ISC offshore wind director Anders Thomsen added: “As pioneers in offshore wind, ISC designed the world’s first substation for an offshore wind farm and since 2003 ISC has provided detailed engineering design for more than 35 offshore substations.
“Integrating local knowledge in the design teams, is essential to realise safe, reliable and cost-effective offshore wind project designs. The strong relationship with WSP USA and Semco Maritime has proven to be a perfect match for the US market.”
