Ross McGravie

Acta Marine has been awarded a charter contract to assist Belgian-based DEME Group's Tideway BV with its cable pull in, and testing and termination campaign on the German offshore wind farm Merkur.

Operating from Dutch port Eemshaven, walk-to-work vessel Acta Orion will be performing accommodation and W2W services. It will also perform cargo transfers to assist the tower teams using the cargo functionality on the Ampelmann gangway.

After a 300-day campaign working at the Race Bank offshore wind farm, Acta Orion was docked at Oranjewerf Amsterdam to perform its 2.5 year intermediate survey and maintenance work.
