Jumbo Offshore has been contracted by Van Oord for the transportation and installation of transition pieces for the Baltic Eagle offshore wind project in the German Baltic Sea.
Operations are to commence this month, following installation of monopiles for the 476MW Baltic Eagle site, which Van Oord completed last month using the Svanen vessel.
The structures have a diameter of 8.75 metres to 9 metres and a length of between 75 metres and 90 metres.
Due to the close cooperation and extensive experience between the Jumbo Offshore and Van Oord project teams, the preparation time has been very efficient.
Under the contract, Jumbo Offshore will be responsible for the transportation and installation (T&I) of transition pieces from the marshalling yard to the offshore wind farm site.
“To date, Jumbo Offshore has transported and installed over 400 transition pieces with our DP2 heavy lift vessels,” said commerce manager at Jumbo Offshore Brian Boutkan.
“After working together on the Arkona offshore wind farm, we are looking forward to working for Van Oord again.
“This project award shows the continuation of our focus in the offshore wind industry with our efficient T&I solutions as well as the trust of our clients in our capabilities and equipment.”
