Bluestream Offshore Joins Forces With Baltic Taucher
Bluestream Offshore has formed a joint venture – Baltic Bluestream Offshore GmbH – with German-based maritime service provider Baltic Taucherei- und Bergungsbetrieb Rostock GmbH (Baltic Taucher) to provide offshore wind operators in German waters with a comprehensive range of fully integrated subsea services. Baltic Bluestream Offshore will operate from Bremerhaven, for its strategic access to offshore wind developments on the German continental shelf.
The joint venture will be equipped to support the offshore wind and subsea cable industry, with observation and light work class ROVs, diving teams and a host of subsea inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) services.
Delighted
Baltic Taucher’s CEO Eyk-Uwe Pap confirmed: “We are delighted to be working with Bluestream Offshore to offer our wind energy customers a broader range of services. The synergy between the two companies was clear from the outset – combining, as it does, our extensive regional diving and engineering experience with Bluestream’s expertise in ROV provision and jacket installation support. We are confident that both new and existing customers will benefit from the collaboration.”
Opportunity
Rolf de Vries, managing director of Bluestream Offshore added: “This joint venture presented us with an opportunity to combine the solid reputation, expertise and technology of Baltic Taucher with Bluestream’s dedicated ROV provision and diving services. Baltic Taucher is recognised by the industry as a committed and reliable diving contractor and, together with Bluestream’s respected ROV and associated subsea services, we are able to streamline the support provision for foundations, infrastructure and turbines across the German Bight and Baltic Sea.”
