“We’re delighted to be supporting the Marine Coordination Services team with their work to manage all operational activities at this stage of the project.”

In January 2017, project’s principal contractor GeoSea NV awarded the contract to SeaPlanner to support the construction of the wind farm.

The scope of the contract included the delivery of integrated personnel and vessel tracking software, access control hardware and installation and setup of the marine coordination centre based in Eemshaven in the Netherlands.

Located nearly 35km north of the island of Borkum in Germany, the Merkur wind farm features 66 GE Haliade 150-6MW turbines.

The project is being developed by Merkur Offshore, a joint venture of Partners Group, InfraRed, DEME and Coriolis.

In June 2018, the project produced first power and is expected to become fully operational by the end of this year.
