Macro Offshore has signed a long-term agreement with Siemens Energy to provide accommodation support for a series of offshore wind campaigns in the North Sea. The contract is scheduled to begin in June 2027 and includes a firm term of six years, with Siemens Energy holding options to extend the arrangement by up to an additional four years.

To execute the work, Macro Offshore will deploy its accommodation jack-up Crossway Eagle. The company describes the unit as an environmentally focused rig in the North Sea fleet. The vessel is fitted with a 200 t crane on a cantilever, enabling it to assist with lighter construction tasks alongside its accommodation role.

Crossway Eagle is currently being readied for mobilisation to Equinor’s Empire Wind project offshore New York. The new contract with Siemens Energy is the second award that Macro Offshore has secured in the offshore wind market.

Following a strategic review, Macro Offshore decided to place greater emphasis on offshore wind, viewing the sector as a sustainable market that is likely to require high-quality assets as projects move further from shore and into deeper waters.

The company said the agreement will support Siemens Energy in its work on sustainable energy solutions.

Macro Offshore owns and operates accommodation vessels through an integrated structure. The company owns and operates Crossway Eagle and also operates Haven, which is presently supporting the Draupner platform on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Macro Offshore is headquartered in Sandnes, Norway.
