We are pleased to see the successful completion of Aluminium Offshore’s XE Enhanced Safety™ helideck at Seatrium’s Batam yard for the Sofia Offshore Converter Platform (OCP).

The helideck is designed for S-92A helicopters and it sits on an all-aluminium support structure.

The OCP will be piled into the seabed 220 kilometres from the nearest shore and will be the one of the most powerful and most remote OCP ever built.

Sofia is located on Dogger Bank, 195 kilometres from the nearest point on the UK’s North East coast. The GBP 3 billion wind farm will have this single offshore converter platform, with the electricity generated transported via a high voltage direct current export cable to landfall 220 kilometres away in Redcar, Teesside.

Aluminium Offshore hopes to lead the way in sustainable building for the offshore renewables energy sector. By focusing on aluminium helidecks and aluminium handrail components, we deliver solutions that are green, cost-effective, and robust. This dedication to sustainability positions us and our clients to help build a greener planet, one project at a time.
