The Norwegian group will deploy a vessel during spring 2023 at the project site off northwest France for installation of its 62 8MW Siemens Gamesa machines.

The contract – Fred Olsen Windcarrier’s first for large-scale work in French waters – came as Siemens Gamesa said the company is a “reliable and solution-oriented partner” for installation of its turbines.
