Five-year contract will see XOCEAN deliver low-carbon bathymetric survey services across six Dutch offshore wind farms, supporting safe, efficient, and sustainable operations.
Dublin– 02nd December 2025 – Six Dutch offshore wind farms have awarded a series of five-year survey contracts to XOCEAN, a global leader in ocean data acquisition. The agreements were coordinated by Eneco on behalf of the participating wind farms – Borssele 3&4 (Blauwwind), Borssele 5 (Two Towers), Eneco Luchterduinen, Hollandse Kust Noord (CrossWind), Hollandse Kust West VI (Ecowende), and Prinses Amaliawindpark (Eneco). Together, these six wind farms comprise 303 turbines generating clean energy for millions of Dutch homes.
Under these contracts, XOCEAN will deliver bathymetric survey services across the six offshore wind farms. The work includes the acquisition of high-resolution data to assess the condition of monopile foundations, inter-array cables, and export cable assets. This data will support ongoing maintenance programmes and contribute to maximizing asset uptime and long-term performance.
XOCEAN will deploy its remotely operated Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) – an innovative, low-carbon approach to ocean data collection. This technology offers significant advantages in safety, efficiency, and environmental performance compared to traditional survey methods.
By leveraging its growing fleet of USVs, XOCEAN will help these offshore wind farms reduce operational carbon emissions while enhancing survey quality and repeatability. The company’s advanced methodologies and data analytics will enable asset owners to make informed maintenance decisions with reduced risk and downtime.
James Ives, CEO, XOCEAN said
“We are delighted to be supporting the Dutch offshore wind sector through this long-term partnership coordinated by Eneco. By deploying our low-carbon USV technology, we look forward to delivering high-quality subsea data while significantly reducing operational emissions and enhancing the overall sustainability of offshore operations.”
Remco Streppel, Head of Operations at Eneco, said:
“As operator of these Dutch offshore wind farms, Eneco is committed to safe and sustainable operations. Through this framework with XOCEAN, we combine innovation and responsibility—using low-carbon technologies to maintain assets efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.”
The award builds on XOCEAN’s growing portfolio of offshore wind projects across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America. With more than 1,600 successful missions completed globally, XOCEAN continues to expand its role in supporting the energy transition through safe, sustainable, and data-driven operations.
