An offshore wind farm jack-up barge has capsized off the coast of Denmark one week after operating aground in a separate incident.

A2SEA has confirmed that its jack-up Sea Worker capsized in a single day Tuesday as a consequence of harsh climate. As of Wednesday morning no air pollution had been detected from the vessel.

The offshore wind service supplier stated focus stays on stopping any oils or fuels from leaking from the vessel. The firm has the vessels Esvagt Connector and Emile Robin on-site and following the state of affairs. Also the air pollution management vessel Gunnar Seidenfaden is on standby within the Port of Hvide Sande and able to reply if wanted.

A2SEA added that the subsequent step is the elimination of all oil and fuels from the jack-up as quickly as climate permits.

The capsizing comes precisely one week after the Sea Worker ran aground off the coast of Nymindegab, south of Hvide Sande, after breaking free from a tug throughout a transit to Esbjerg. In that incident, all employees have been have been evacuated by a lifeboat with out damage.

It is unclear if right now’s capsizing is in any respect associated to final week’s grounding.
