en.Wedoany.com Reported - OranjeWind and Purus have signed a five-year charter agreement to deploy the Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) Purus Power at the Dutch OranjeWind offshore wind farm, supporting planned and unplanned operation and maintenance activities at the wind farm.

OranjeWind is a joint venture between RWE and TotalEnergies. Under the terms of the agreement (including an option to extend the charter), the 88-meter-long, 19-meter-wide Purus Power is purpose-built for offshore wind operations, featuring a diesel-electric and battery hybrid propulsion system, and is prepared for future upgrades and potential conversion to zero-emission energy.

The vessel's integrated walk-to-work system is designed for extended offshore operations, with onboard accommodations, office space, meeting rooms, a gym, and a crew mess.

The OranjeWind offshore wind farm (also known as Hollandse Kust West VII) is being developed approximately 53 kilometers off the Dutch coast and construction has already begun. This 795 MW offshore wind farm will consist of 53 Vestas V236-15 MW turbines, installed on foundation piles produced by Sif and connected via inter-array cables supplied by TKF. The foundation piles and turbines will be installed by Jan De Nul, while inter-array cable installation is handled by DEME. The wind farm is scheduled to become operational in 2028.
