Ziton scores vessel framework deal with RWE
Danish offshore wind specialist Ziton has struck a four-year operations and maintenance jackup vessel framework agreement with German utility RWE.
Under the deal, Ziton will provide RWE’s offshore wind business with vessel, lifting and auxiliary services for a minimum of 180 days of support every year.
The collaboration will cover all of RWE’s operational offshore wind assets in the UK and Europe that are accessible by Ziton’s fleet of four vessels.
RWE said the agreement would enable a standardised and lean approach to major component exchanges across its portfolio and reduce price uncertainty in a tighter market environment, adding that securing Ziton’s jackups would also “help increase efficiency and reinforce a high level of safety performance”.
