en.Wedoany.com Reported - EnBW has signed a framework agreement for underwater inspection services for its offshore wind project portfolio in the Baltic and North Seas, with RS Diving Contractor winning the relevant lots for assets in both sea areas. The contract, signed on April 7, has a total value exceeding €7.2 million and involves inspections at multiple wind farms using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

Under the agreement, RS Diving will carry out regular underwater inspections at the Baltic 1 and Baltic 2 wind farms in the Baltic Sea, as well as the Hohe See, Albatros, and the under-construction He Dreiht wind farms in the North Sea. The inspection scope covers visual and functional checks of the underwater support structures of wind turbines and offshore substations, in compliance with German regulatory standards and wind farm-specific inspection plans.

In the Baltic Sea, the 21 turbines and offshore substation at Baltic 1 are inspected every four years, with the next scheduled for 2027; at Baltic 2, 20 turbines (representing 25% of the assets) are inspected annually, with the substation following the same four-year cycle. In the North Sea, approximately 25% of turbines at Hohe See and Albatros are inspected annually, with substations every four years; He Dreiht plans to inspect 16 turbines annually at the same proportion. Offshore inspection activities are scheduled between April and September each year, with the contractor responsible for vessels, logistics, ROV system deployment, and report preparation. The framework agreement is valid until March 31, 2031, with an option to extend for up to three additional years.
