Marine and energy firm ABL has secured a contract from Ocean Winds to provide warranty oversight for marine operations on the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in Poland. The company will support the construction of the project by acting as a marine warranty surveyor.
The BC-Wind development is planned in Poland’s part of the Baltic Sea Exclusive Economic Zone, about 23 kilometres offshore to the north of the Pomeranian Province. The lease area extends over roughly 90 square kilometres.
The wind farm will use 26 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 turbines that can be uprated to 15 MW each. At full output, BC-Wind is designed to deliver up to 390 MW of installed capacity, supplying renewable power for around 488,000 households.
Under its scope, ABL will review and approve transport and installation activities for all main components. This covers monopile foundations and transition pieces, the offshore substation, export and inter-array cables, as well as the wind turbines.
The contract also requires ABL to assess and approve the installation fleet, carry out technical review of project documentation during development and construction, and provide on-site monitoring of port and offshore marine operations over the execution period, which is currently scheduled between 2026 and 2028.
Will Philbedge, operations manager at ABL Germany, said BC-Wind represents a step forward in Poland’s renewable energy programme. He noted that the award follows ABL’s earlier appointment on the Baltica-2 offshore wind farm and gives the company another opportunity to support energy infrastructure delivery in Poland while strengthening its presence in the country.
ABL Germany will lead delivery of the work, supported by ABL’s wider renewables marine warranty survey network. The team will draw on ABL Group staff based in Gdansk and Warsaw.
