GeoSea’s A2SEA unit has signed an agreement to install 66 transition pieces at the 396MW Merkur offshore wind project in the German part of the North Sea.

A2SEA’s Sea Challenger installation vessel will transport and help install the transition pieces (TPs) with mobilisation for the project starting in October at the Dutch port of Eemshaven.

“It is the first time Sea Challenger will install TPs, and we are confident, that the vessel and her experienced crew will perform yet another well-executed project on time, on budget and safely, to the satisfaction of our customers,” says A2SEA chief executive Michael Glavind.
