Port of Roenne has revealed it will store the monopiles for the 27 Vestas’ wind turbines at the 257MW Arcadis Ost 1.
Work on the offshore wind farm near Rügen, Germany will begin in a few weeks with the wind turbines and monopolies to be shipped out from the Danish port.
In addition, DEME Offshore, EPCI contractor for the foundations, has chosen to use the Port of Roenne for shipping foundations for the wind turbines and the transformer station.
Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm is owned by Parkwind Ost and is expected to supply enough electricity for up to 300,000 German households generated by its 27 V174-9,5 MW turbines.
The project is expected to be completed in a year.
DEME Offshore’s Arcadis Ost project director Mathieu Holvoet said: “We have chosen Port of Roenne as the port of shipment for our XXL monopiles because it was an obvious choice.
“It is due to the unique infrastructure specially designed to support heavy project loads and because the port is close to our Arcadis Ost 1 operations.
“We, therefore, look forward to a close and good collaboration with the management and employees at Port in Roenne A/S.”
Port of Roenne chief business officer Jeppe la Cour said: “It proves that our port is adapted to service all parts of the large projects that include wind turbine shipment.
“I look forward to welcoming DEME Offshore’s employees to the port. I know that the new project will create work for the local companies on Bornholm as we saw with the project around Kriegers Flak last year.”
