Siem Offshore Contractors GmbH ("SOC"), a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Siem Offshore Inc., announced 
today that SOC has been awarded the contract for the 
installation of the inner array grid cables for the 
Baltic 2 Offshore Wind Farm ("OWF") project by EnBW 
Baltic 2 GmbH ("EnBW"), a subsidiary of EnBW 
Erneuerbare Energien GmbH ("EEE"). The contract award 
highlights the continued expansion into the Offshore 
Renewable Energy Market for the Siem Offshore group.

The OWF will be situated within the Baltic Sea, 
approx. 30 km north of the island of Rügen/Germany. 
The OWF will consist out of 80 wind turbine 
generators, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW and shall 
be interconnected by an inner array grid of 33 kV 
medium voltage (MVAC) cables with a total length of 
up to 88 km.

SOC will be utilising resources within the Siem 
Offshore group, whereby the combined capabilities of 
Siem Offshore's marine operations and the engineering 
and installation experience of SOC will form a 
natural and strong resource base to the benefit of 
the project. 

The project value exceeds the equivalent of USD 100 
million, whereby in addition to the submarine cable 
installation works, SOC will provide associated 
services including pre-installation route and boulder 
clearance and pre-lay trenching operations as well as 
post-installation termination and testing services. 
The project works will commence immediately and are 
currently scheduled to be completed within 24 months.
