The Farra Grainne CTV sits alongside an offshore substation under clear blue skies. These structures form the beating heart of offshore wind farms, gathering and exporting the electricity generated out at sea.

Offshore substations, often painted in vibrant safety yellow, are a striking sight against the ocean. Their towering steel legs and latticework carry the vital role of transforming and transmitting renewable power back to shore. Seeing a CTV working alongside highlights the scale of the operations and the seamless teamwork that keeps the turbines spinning.
