Swedish survey firm Njord Survey has secured a three-year framework agreement with RWE Offshore Wind to provide remotely operated vehicle (ROV) services at the energy company’s offshore wind farms across UK and European waters.
Under the agreement, Njord Survey will conduct subsea survey activities to support RWE’s offshore wind assets. The financial terms of the agreement and the specific projects covered by the framework have not been disclosed.
The agreement strengthens Njord Survey’s presence in the offshore wind sector, where it has previously surveyed more than 23 complete wind farm areas. The company provides underwater inspection and evaluation services, seabed assessments, data analysis, and offshore operational support for wind farm operators and other marine projects.
Njord Survey said the activities under the new framework will involve what it describes as carbon-neutral survey campaigns. The approach will focus on reducing emissions from survey vessels while maintaining data quality, operational safety, and accuracy during offshore operations.
“We are extremely proud to establish this long-term agreement with RWE,” said Philip Ljungström, Project Director, Njord Survey. “It reinforces our role as a reliable ally for the offshore wind sector and enables us to continue providing high-resolution data with accuracy, safety, and low-emission vessel operations.”

ROV technology enables operators to conduct underwater surveys and inspections without requiring divers to directly access subsea infrastructure. Such services can help offshore wind developers monitor seabed conditions and underwater assets as part of ongoing maintenance and asset management activities.
