Van Oord has been contracted for the development of the Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Farm, developed by Ørsted and PGE. The wind farm is situated 40 kilometres offshore within the Polish space of the Baltic Sea.
Van Oord will transport and set up 111 prolonged monopiles, of which 107 will function foundations for wind generators and the opposite 4 as foundations for offshore substations.
Van Oord will deploy offshore set up vessel Aeolus and heavy-lift set up vessel Svanen on the challenge. The Svanen will endure a serious improve this 12 months. The extension of the gantry crane will make the Svanen one of many largest floating heavy-lift set up vessels worldwide and can enhance its lifting capability. Because of this improve, the Svanen will be capable of set up the foundations for the brand new era 14MW wind generators used on the Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Farm.
The foundations for this offshore wind farm are prolonged monopiles, combining the normal mixture of a monopile and transition piece in a single component. This protects lifting actions offshore and makes the set up safer and quicker. Van Oord’s versatile fallpipe vessel Nordnes will likely be deployed to precisely and effectively set up rock in any respect basis places.
With a manufacturing capability of 1.5GW, the wind farm will likely be Poland’s largest-ever renewable power challenge producing sufficient inexperienced power to cowl the facility consumption of roughly 2.4 million Polish households.
