Subsea 7 Confirms Award of Major Contract to Seaway7 for Offshore Wind Power Development in the UK

The offshore industry giant, Subsea 7 S.A., confirmed today the granting of a significant contract to Seaway7, a subsidiary of the Subsea7 Group. The ScottishPower Renewables awarded the contract for the transportation and installation of foundations and cables for the East Anglia THREE offshore wind farm in the UK. The contract announcement comes a year after the preferred bidder was disclosed.

East Anglia THREE: Progress in Offshore Wind Power in the UK

The East Anglia THREE wind farm, located in the North Sea, 69 kilometers off the coast of Suffolk in the UK, will become the second largest wind farm in the world when it begins operations in 2026. The farm, equipped with 95 turbines of 14.7MW, will have a total capacity of 1,400MW. The power generation will be enough to meet the electricity demand of more than 1.3 million homes with green energy.

Seaway7, one of the leaders in offshore wind energy, will play a vital role in delivering the project. The scope of its work includes the transportation, logistics, and installation of 95 monopile foundations, seabed preparation, and erosion protection. In addition, the company will also be responsible for the engineering, supply, and installation of the 95 internal cables. Seaway7 will utilize heavy-lift vessels, cable installation boats, and its heavy transport fleet to manage the significant transportation scope.

Seaway7, with the support of its parent company Subsea 7, will lead the project’s execution from its offices in Aberdeen and Sutton in the UK. The project will advance from the initial engineering work throughout 2023, with offshore activities scheduled to begin in 2024.

Ross Ovens, managing director of ScottishPower Renewables for the East Anglia Hub offshore wind farms, celebrated the confirmation of the contract with Seaway7, expressing his enthusiasm for the future of offshore wind energy in the UK. Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO of Seaway7, shared the same enthusiasm, highlighting the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its position in the UK’s offshore wind market and working in partnership with ScottishPower Renewables to deliver one of the largest offshore wind complexes in the world.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

While the world is living in 2026, Nepal has already entered 2083 and uses a calendar that intrigues visitors, appears in official documents, and makes astronomers decide when each new year really begins, far from the standard adopted in much of the planet.

Copper ink developed by American researchers withstands 6 months in seawater and could reduce the cost of solar panels, electronic boards, and durable devices.

The Chinese company SpaceSail, a rival of Elon Musk’s Starlink, will start satellite internet operations in Brazil in 2026, with authorization from Anatel for up to 324 low-orbit satellites, aiming to bring connectivity to remote areas such as the Amazon where fiber optics do not reach.

BYD prepares to bring intelligent driving technology to Brazil in 2027 and promises to equip cars sold in the country with features that assist drivers in driving, parking, and handling traffic more safely.
