Posted 28/04/2021 20:58
Dogger Bank is not simply an offshore windfarm project, it is THE offshore windfarm project. Dogger Bank is an offshore wind farm site in the UK North Sea that will, once fully built, be the world s largest and most innovative. Here Offshore Engineer breaks down the main elements and players in the project.
Located 130km off the Yorkshire Coast, the 3.6 GW offshore wind project will consist of three phases – each at 1.2GW, and will cover an area of 1675 km2, larger than Greater London.
The three phases were previously known as Creyke Beck A, Creyke Beck B and Teesside A.
•38,000 m2 swept area
•One Haliade-X 13 MW can save up to 52,000 metric tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of the emissions generated by 11,000 vehicles in one year.
•One GE Haliade-X 13 MW spin could power a UK household for more than two days
GE Renewable Energy will establish its marshaling harbor activities at Able Seaton Port in Hartlepool, serving as the base for turbine service equipment, installation, and commissioning activities for Dogger Bank A and B.
The port will see the delivery of component parts for each of GE’s Haliade-X 13MW wind, including the nacelle, three tower sections, and three 107m long blades, for pre-assembly on-site at Able Seaton prior to transport out to the North Sea for installation.

Fincantieri subsidiary Vard has secured a new contract to deliver three service operation vessels (SOV) for the Scottish company North Star Renewables.
Vard will be responsible for the design and construction of the three SOVs, which will consist of one larger vessel based on the Vard 4 19 design and two based on the smaller Vard 4 12 design.
The trio of ships will operate on the Dogger Bank wind farm in the North Sea.
The three SOVs are set for handover to North Star in 2023. They will be built at Vard’s Vard Vung Tau shipyard in Vietnam.
The SOVs were developed by Vard in cooperation with Aberdeen-based North Star, which has secured 10-year charter contracts for the trio from Dogger Bank Wind Farm in an international competition.
The charters include options for three one-year extensions.
North Star announced it had secured the £270m contract for three state-of-the-art service vessels from world’s largest offshore wind farm last month
