Overview

• Odfjell Oceanwind bought Ørsted’s 80% stake, becoming majority owner alongside Simply Blue Group and Subsea7.
• The 100 MW demonstration project has onshore consent plus Section 36 consent and marine licences, the first of the INTOG innovation projects to reach this stage.
• The partners selected Odfjell’s Deepsea Star column‑stabilised semi‑submersible steel foundation for the turbines.
• The site sits roughly 35 km off Aberdeenshire near Peterhead under exclusivity awarded in Crown Estate Scotland’s 2023 INTOG round.
• The joint venture is preparing for a Contract for Difference bid as Odfjell ties Salamander to a planned 24 MW floating turbine demonstration in Norway in 2028.
