Jack-up operator Macro Offshore has won a contract with Siemens Energy for the provision of accommodation services to various offshore wind projects in the North Sea.
The contract will commence in June 2027 and has a firm duration of six years, with Siemens Energy holding an option to extend it by up to another four years, Macro Offshore said.
Macro Offshore has committed the accommodation jack-up Crossway Eagle for the projects.
Crossway Eagle is described as one of the most environmentally friendly accommodation rigs in the North Sea and has a 200 Ton crane mounted on a cantilever making the vessel optimal for supporting lighter construction activities.
The rig is currently being prepared for mobilisation to Equinor’s Empire Wind project offshore New York.
As such the contract with Siemens Energy is the second contract Macro Offshore wins in the offshore wind market.
Macro Offshore said it decided to increase its focus on the offshore wind market following a strategic review process.
The company said it recognises the wind market is a sustainable market which is likely to demand high quality assets as the projects move further offshore and into deeper waters.
Macro Offshore said it is proud to become a trusted partner of Siemens Energy in their efforts to provide sustainable energy solutions.
Macro Offshore is a fully integrated owner and operator of accommodation vessels.
