NR Marine Services will provide two crew transfer vessels (CTVs), the NR Rebellion and the NR Hunter. The NR Rebellion, a hybrid vessel built by Diverse Marine on the Isle of Wight, will begin operations in April. The NR Hunter will join later in 2025. The NR Rebellion, noted for its environmental efficiency, has a range of 1,000 nautical miles and can carry up to 24 personnel. It will be the first vessel of its kind used within the Iberdrola Group.
OEG will supply the support vessel Tess, tasked with guard operations at the wind farm. Its design allows for extended periods at sea, enhancing operational efficiency.
Ross Ovens, ScottishPower Renewables’ managing director for offshore, stated: “These charter agreements are testament to how the East of England can service the offshore wind industry – not just here in the UK, but right across the globe.”
Set to commence operations in 2026, East Anglia Three will be ScottishPower Renewables’ largest offshore wind farm and the second largest globally. With a capacity of 1.4GW, it will generate clean energy sufficient to power more than 1.3 million homes.
