The Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) has been notified regarding the presence of Russian nationals within the crew of a vessel servicing the Baltic Power offshore wind farm project. <\/p>\n
Orlen and the Polish government have initiated security procedures after receiving anonymous reports concerning the presence of two Russian nationals among the crew of the Farra Grainne, a vessel utilized during the construction of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. The incident gained traction as this multi-billion project reaches its final implementation stage.<\/p>\n
The information was reported to Orlen, the Ministry of Energy, and the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. Of the four crew members mentioned in the report, two were Russian nationals, one of whom also held a Bulgarian passport, while the others were citizens of Poland and Ukraine. Concerns were raised regarding potential risks to Poland’s energy security.<\/p>\n
Orlen clarifies that no Russian citizens are directly employed by the Baltic Power project. The vessel, Farra Grainne, belongs to a third-party subcontractor and operates on behalf of the Danish turbine manufacturer Vestas. Consequently, the crew members are not personnel of the investor.<\/p>\n
Pawe\u0142 Wojtunik, Orlen\u2019s Vice President for Security and Risk, confirmed that while the individuals in question are not project employees, the report triggered necessary control mechanisms. Orlen maintains that access to the construction site is strictly monitored by its security office, with additional identity checks performed by the Border Guard.<\/p>\n
Baltic Power is the first offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea, a project developed by Orlen and Canada\u2019s Northland Power. As of June 2026, 50 of the 76 planned turbines have been installed, with the facility expected to generate 4 TWh of electricity annually. Given its scale and strategic importance, the project is subject to rigorous security protocols.<\/p>\n
The incident occurs amid heightened NATO vigilance regarding critical maritime infrastructure. Following recent sabotage incidents in the Baltic Sea, NATO has increased its military presence and surveillance capabilities. Polish institutions continue to emphasize that offshore wind farms constitute critical infrastructure requiring dedicated protection strategies against reconnaissance and hybrid threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
