Offshore support vessel operator Seacat Services has made an agreement with Denmark-based Dong Energy to deliver all crew transfer services at its 258MW Burbo Bank extension project in the Irish Sea.

Being the second deal signed this year between the companies, the current contract will feature four vessels with durations of three to 11 months.

The first was signed last month and included a four-workboat construction support deal for the 580MW Race Bank Offshore Windfarm in England.

The Burbo Bank extension project will see the deployment of 32 MHI Vestas turbines of 8MW each, enhancing its capacity from the current 90MW.

Seacat will use four of its class-certified catamarans, which include vessels Volunteer, Endeavour, Defender, and Ranger to install the turbines and infrastructure at the site.
