Offshore Wind Project, Germany

Boulder Clearance Despite Unstable GPS Signal

Høj Nordic Marine Contractor successfully completed a challenging contract as part of a German offshore wind project, overcoming difficulties posed by adverse weather conditions and an unstable GPS signal, possibly caused by jamming.

Rocks and high spots needed to be cleared from three locations near an existing wind turbine. This offshore wind project demanded meticulous planning and strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) regulations.

The task was carried out by our vessel, Aase Høj, which removed obstacles from the seabed to allow the installation vessel to jack-up safely next to the wind turbine. Severe weather conditions complicated operations, while the instability of the RTK/GPS signal – potentially due to external interference – required additional caution and continuous adjustments throughout the execution.

As part of this project, Høj Nordic Marine Contractor also provided fuel consumption data to the client for use in CO2 emissions documentation.

This project showcased Høj Nordic Marine Contractor’s ability to safely and effectively deliver complex offshore wind projects, even in demanding conditions, while consistently upholding stringent safety and environmental standards. Our effective communication, technical expertise, and unwavering commitment to quality enable us to contribute to the advancement of renewable energy projects, including in Germany.
