Danish company Orsted is preparing to install the final turbines at its 450MW Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
Fred Olsen Windcarrier jack-up Bold Tern has picked up the last four MHI Vestas V164-8.0MW machines from the staging port.
Installation of 56 machines started in May with half in place by late June. The project features 20 suction bucket jacket foundations and 36 monopiles.
Borkum Riffgrund 2 produced first power earlier this month and full commissioning is scheduled for 2019.
