CHC Helicopter won a construction contract for the world’s largest offshore wind farm. CHC will support the mission to the Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the North Sea with Leonardo AW139 and Airbus H175 helicopters from its base in Norwich, UK. Located 70 nm off the Yorkshire coast, when completed Dogger will employ 277 wind turbines generating an estimated 3.6 gigawatts of electricity—enough to power six million homes. The project is a joint venture partnership between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn. The first crew-change flights in support of Dogger launched in April.

“Being so far from shore presents new challenges to how we manage logistics in offshore wind, which can only be overcome through the use of trusted suppliers. We are delighted that CHC will join the project to as our aviation partner to support us in our crew changes during the construction of Dogger Bank Wind Farm,” said project manager Alan Borland.
