SMC Score Dogger Bank Marine Coordination Package

Specialist Marine Consultants (SMC) have been awarded a holistic Marine Coordination services contract to work on all three phases of Dogger Bank Wind Farm.

SMC will deliver a turnkey Marine Coordination personnel solution in support of construction operations at what will become the world’s largest offshore windfarm when it’s completed in
2026.

George Moore, Business Development Director at SMC commented: “We have been involved in operations at Dogger Bank Wind Farm since the days of the  Forewind consortium. Dogger Bank is a local project for us and has remained a key area of Focus for the company over the years. Confirmation of this award represents our 16th active Marine Coordination contract to be undertaken during 2022 and reaffirms our position as the market leader in delivering Marine Coordination services.

Over the past couple of years, we have delivered a range of services to the project, and the decision by Dogger Bank Wind Farm to extend our relationship is testament to the level of
service we have been able to deliver. We’re keen to keep building on this relationship over the coming months and years, supporting Dogger Bank Wind Farm in delivering a truly world
leading project and what will become the UK’s largest single source of offshore renewable energy”.
