Perth-based OSV operator MMA Offshore has won an offshore wind site survey contract off Australia.
On behalf of the key client, Ørsted, the scope is one of the first reconnaissance site surveys taking place in the Gippsland offshore wind zone since the award of feasibility licenses.
MMA will use its Australian-flagged Offshore Solution MPSV and its subsea capabilities to acquire and deliver subsea data to support future offshore wind developments in the region.
The campaign is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024 and run through to the first quarter of 2025.
“We believe this marks the first of many opportunities in the Australian offshore wind sector in the coming years,” said David Ross, MMA managing director.
