The project will utilise a combined DPII vessel and CTV solution, alongside a Work Class ROV.

CWind, part of the Global Marine Group, provides topside, subsea, and engineering services to the offshore renewables and utilities market.

Brian Allen, Rovco chief executive officer and founder, said: “Being awarded a project of this size and scale by CWind is a testament to our hard work and dedication to technology creation and delivery.

“Rovco is focused on providing operational excellence to the offshore wind industry, using marine robotics to increase the quality of work. Together with CWind, we bring unique efficiencies to the way offshore projects can be completed.”

Global Marine Group and Rovco, who have an office in Westhill, entered an invested partnership in 2019.

The 714MW East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm first delivered power to the UK grid in early September 2019.

All 102 turbines are now installed and full commissioning is expected later this year.
