Fred Olsen outfit Global Wind Service (GWS) has acquired multiple assets from Danish group Total Wind, taking over ongoing projects, customer contracts and employees.

Following the bankruptcy of Total Wind, GWS bought all offshore and blade activities from Total Wind.

The main activities acquired include a service works contract with Vattenfal for the 160MW Horns Rev 1, an installation and completion agreement with MHI Vestas Offshore Wind for the 400MW Horns Rev 3 development – an extension to Horns Rev 1 - and a deal to handle pre-assembly activities for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind in Denmark’s Port of Esbjerg.
