Offshore know-how
Being the leading company within
offshore wind has allowed Siemens to
gain more than 20 years of experience
with offshore wind service. This expertise
is the foundation of the Siemens SWPS430O service program, which is
specifically designed for turbines in an
offshore environment.
The SWPS-430O
The SWPS-430O is our most
comprehensive service program. The
program is tailor-made for customers
looking to minimize the risk of offshore
investment. With this all-inclusive service
program all aspects of offshore servicing
are covered: from day-to.day service
operations and logistic solutions to
availability and component warranties.
Offshore Logistic Solutions
Vessels, helicopters and base facilities are
just a few of the logistics solutions
available that allow turbine owners to
tailor their service solution for a specific
project. Regardless the distance from
shore and the weather complexity,
Siemens Service has the optimal logistic
solutions (see model on next page for
further details).
Offshore Selected Services
Waste handling, fuel and offshore
training are some of the add-on services
offered in our offshore selected services.
Offshore Challenges
Offshore wind farms pose a number of
challenges, one of which is the logistics.
Depending on the weather complexity
and the distance from shore, servicing an
offshore turbine requires highly
specialized transfer and access solutions.
An essential part of our offshore strategy
is to continuously develop safe and
efficient solutions that match any
customer need.
Offshore accessibility
Accessibility to offshore turbines is often
limited due to complex site conditions,
such as wave height, water depth and
tidal variations. Each visit to the turbine
requires travel time from port to turbine
and back. Depending on the distance to
the operating port as well as the weather
complexity, the right logistics solution is
key to optimizing the productivity of the
service technicians and hence reducing
turbine down-time.
In addition to fast-response helicopters,
which are particularly useful in high wind
locations, our service fleet includes a
variety of specialized vessels. The table
above gives an overview of the various
options.
Far shore solutions
The further from shore the wind farm is
located the more challenging it becomes
to access the turbines and if the site is
more than one hour from shore, offshore
accommodation should be considered. By
using a flexible base facility such as a
flotel, platform or a Service Operations
Vessel we are able to offer safe and
efficient service, even far from shore.
Weather complexity
Over the past 30 years, Siemens has
accumulated thousands of hours of
service experience. Based upon this
knowledge, we have developed a flexible
range of cost-effective service programs
to cover differing customer needs. Our
flexible product portfolio allows you to
choose the level that matches your
requirements for security.

Remote Diagnostic Services
In addition to our logistics solutions we
invest heavily in the development of
innovative and sophisticated Remote
Diagnostic Services. We do this to
maximize the production of your wind
farm by reducing down-time, e.g.
through:
· increasing the amount of tasks that can
be solved remotely on shore
· turning corrective maintenance into
preventive maintenance
· turning unscheduled service into
scheduled, and bundle service.
