New contract is the latest addition to P&O Maritime Logistics’ renewable energy
In efforts to support Germany’s energy transition agenda, P&O Maritime Logistics will use its Multi Carrying Vessels to transport modular units for offshore wind power stations, which will be used to build the new Wind Farm in North Sea, Germany.
Expected to commence power production in 2025, the 900-megawatt wind farm will be a key contributor to achieving Germany’s energy transition goals of fulfilling 80% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030, a press communique indicated.
P&O Maritime Logistics will transport the components for a Spanish EPC company, which oversees construction of the offshore substations for the Wind Farm. Since November 2022, P&O Maritime Logistics’ MCVs has made several voyages, carrying the components from pre-fabrication yards, loaded via a shallow drafted port, in Turkey to assembly yards in Spain.
“We at P&O Maritime Logistics feel a responsibility to facilitate the development of infrastructure that will allow the adoption and integration of renewable energies, and the Wind Farm is one that will undoubtedly contribute to providing Germany with low carbon power,” asserted Martin Helweg, CEO, P&O Maritime Logistics.
