Subsea 7’s offshore wind service specialist, Seaway 7, has won a contract from Equinor and partner Polenergia for the inter-array cables of the MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III bottom-fixed offshore wind projects, in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.
Under the contract, worth between $150m and $300m, Seaway7 will carry out engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of 100 66kV inter-array cables, measuring around 200 km in length. The two projects will be delivered in continuous campaigns with offshore works expected to commence in 2026.
With a total installed capacity of 1.44 GW, MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III, an equal joint venture between Equinor and Polenergia, are two of the largest and most advanced offshore wind farm projects being developed in Poland.
“This is Seaway7’s first contract in Poland, a new and emerging market for offshore wind. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Equinor and supporting them on their energy transition journey with this project, our sixth offshore wind project together,” remarked Stuart Fitzgerald, CEO of Seaway 7.
The wind farms, developed in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the Baltic Sea, will be located between 22 and 37 km from the coast.
