Statoil Awards Peterson Offshore Wind Farm Contracts

International energy logistics provider Peterson said it has been awarded two long term contracts with Statoil to provide logistics support for the Dudgeon offshore wind farm located in the Southern North Sea. 

 

Peterson will work with the operator to deliver logistics services including stevedoring, ship agency services, provisions delivery and transportation of personnel for walk to work security.  Peterson will also be responsible for the supply of fuelling services from its facility in Great Yarmouth.

 

In addition to these long-term contracts Peterson recently supported the barge load-out of the 1,800Te Dudgeon offshore windfarm Substation.  Peterson provided 12 of the 72 Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT) axles required for this operation which was completed successfully and safely in Lowestoft in July 2016.  SPMTs are one of the most powerful heavy-duty transportation systems in the world.

 

The Dudgeon field is an extensive £1.5 billion project to harness offshore wind to power more than 410,000 UK homes. This 402MW offshore wind farm will be located some 20 miles off the coast of Norfolk.
