RWE has signed a three-year extension to its offshore wind operations and maintenance agreement with Ziton, increasing the level of jack-up vessel support for its assets in the UK and continental Europe.
The original four-year agreement was signed in 2023. Under that contract, Ziton provided vessel capacity, lifting and auxiliary services for RWE’s offshore wind portfolio for a minimum of 180 days each year.
Under the extension, minimum annual support will rise to 240 days from 2027 onwards. RWE said the renewed agreement is intended to support operations and maintenance work across its expanding offshore wind fleet. The company also said the longer arrangement is designed to reduce price uncertainty in a competitive market environment.
Ziton is a Danish specialist in jack-up vessel services for offshore wind O&M. Its fleet includes six vessels dedicated to this segment: Wind, Wind Server, Wind Enterprise, Wind Pioneer, Wind Energy, and Wind Discovery.
The extension increases committed support compared with the original agreement and gives RWE additional capacity for maintenance planning across its offshore wind assets.
