Oslo-listed shipowner Eidesvik has landed a deal with Siemens Gamesa-owned Adwen to support commissioning activities at the 350MW Wikinger offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.

The €1.4bn ($1.6bn) Wikinger is scheduled to go online and connected to the grid before the end of the year. The development will comprise 70 5MW Adwen wind turbines, and will see the company provide maintenance services for five years.
