After six months under construction, the second Offshore Base for the Ems Maritime Offshore Ltd.(EMO) in Eemshaven has been completed.

The building was officially handed over to EMO on 26th April 2018 by Deputy Director Geert-Jan Huiges from general contractor BV Bouwbedrijf Kooi Appingedam.

Merkur Offshore has agreed a long-term contract with EMO to build and operate a service hub on its behalf. In the future, the building will be used by GE Renewable Germany GmbH.

The office complex, which covers almost 500m², with an adjacent 600m² warehouse space, fulfils all the requirements of an offshore service base. The building is equipped with showers, lounges and a drying room for workwear.

The wind turbine manufacturer is installing 66 of its Haliade 150 type turbines, each with a capacity of 6MW, at the Merkur offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

During its search for a favourably-located site, the Merkur Offshore project management team found what it was looking for with EMO in Eemshaven. “The site offers optimum conditions for the long-term operational management and maintenance of the Merkur Offshore Wind Park”, according to Project Manager Jens Grosse.

The EMO Ltd. Terminal, close to the AG “EMS” Borkum Line, provides direct access to the water and lots of space for different configuration options.

“Eemshaven is constantly developing. Its ideal position and its growing infrastructure make it a key service and logistics location for more industries than just the offshore sector,” explains EMO Managing Director Knut Gerdes.
