At Westermost Rough, A2SEA has been working with Siemens Wind Power’s sophisticated tool for installing single blades at higher windspeeds and with greater safety. It’s impressive-looking, and it works just as impressively, too. Continue reading
A2SEA’s installation work began early in August at Westermost Rough, where 35 Siemens 6 MW turbines are being installed by SEA CHALLENGER. It’s the first commercial installation of these game-changing machines, which are a major step forward in reducing the cost of energy in offshore wind. Continue reading
In the first half of 2015, in the German part of the North Sea, A2SEA will start installing 97 Siemens 6 MW, 154m-rotor turbines from Siemens – representing a total capacity of 582 MW.
When completed, Gode Wind 1 and 2 will be the largest contiguous offshore wind farm area in Germany to date. The agreement is a strong signal that German offshore wind is back on the agenda – and prioritised, too. And it’s also an acknowledgement of A2SEA’s lengthy track record. Continue reading

The Gunfleet Sands 3 Demonstration Project involved A2SEA’s SEA INSTALLER transporting and installing two Siemens 6MW turbines at the DONG Energy-owned and operated wind farm. Located off the coast of East Anglia, the project gave all three companies the opportunity to bring their latest technology to the table, and put it to the test. Continue reading
