Interocean Marine Services (Interocean), provider of specialist maritime solutions to the global offshore energy industry, has announced a three-year contract to provide marine vetting and assurance to the Morgan, Mona and Morven offshore wind projects being developed under a joint venture between bp and Energie Württemberg AG (EnBW).
Morgan and Mona are located in the Irish Sea approximately 22-37 kilometres from the coast, covering a combined area of approximately 580km².
Situated in the North Sea, approximately 60km from the coast of Aberdeen, Morven spans an area of approximately 860km², with water depths varying from 21 to 76 metres.
