XOCEAN

XOCEAN was awarded a five-year bathymetric survey contract covering Borssele III & IV (Blauwwind) as part of a combined six-wind-farm tender coordinated by Eneco as operator. The cohort comprises Borssele 3&4, Borssele 5 (Two Towers), Eneco Luchterduinen, Hollandse Kust Noord (CrossWind), Hollandse Kust West VI (Ecowende) and Prinses Amaliawindpark, totalling 303 turbines across Dutch North Sea sites. The scope at Borssele III & IV is the acquisition of high-resolution bathymetric data to assess the condition of the 77 monopile foundations and the 175 km inter-array cable network, supporting ongoing maintenance programmes and asset uptime. XOCEAN will deploy its remotely operated Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) fleet — a low-carbon approach to ocean data collection offering safety, efficiency and environmental performance advantages over conventional crewed survey vessels. The cohort award is one of three contemporaneous portfolio appointments by the Eneco-coordinated owners, alongside FØN Energy Services (above-water BoP IRM + ROV) and Omexom (electrical O&M). No contract value was disclosed.
