The first turbine installed at the 487MW SeaMade offshore wind project off the coast of Belgium has generated first power.
DEME Offshore recently installed the first 8.4MW Siemens Gamesa turbine at the project in the Belgian North Sea, using its DP2 offshore installation vessel Apollo.

DEME’s cable laying vessel Living Stone recently completed cable burying activities at the project.
Apollo loaded the first wind turbine components at the Renewable Energy Base Ostend (REBO), which is used as the marshalling harbour for the pre-assembly of the 58 turbines.
The SeaMade site is located about 45 km off the Belgian coast.
Apollo is now installing the rest of the wind farm’s turbines, numbering 58 in total, on monopile foundations.
