C-Ventus

C-Ventus Offshore Windfarm Services BV was awarded a multiyear contract by Vattenfall to provide Balance of Plant (BoP) maintenance services for the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm, covering the HKZ 1, 2, 3 and 4 areas. The work was managed by Vattenfall and was to be operated out of the IJmuiden O&M base following a tender process.

Under the contract, C‑Ventus’ scope included above-water inspections and below-water inspections, indicating an inspection and monitoring remit across offshore BoP structures, as well as environmental sustainability services and related innovations in the O&M market. In the announcement, C‑Ventus described its positioning as a specialist in inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) for offshore wind farms. C‑Ventus stated that offshore operations under the contract were expected to start in February 2023, supporting that the engagement related to the operations and maintenance lifecycle of Hollandse Kust Zuid’s BoP assets.
