Jan De Nul Group has been selected by Suomen Hyötytuuli as the main marine construction contractor for the 40MW Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm in Finland, while Prysmian Finland will supply the undersea cable.
Construction of the wind farm, which will consist of 10 Siemens 4MW turbines, will start in April.
Jan De Nul will be responsible for dredging, seabed construction work and the installation of foundations and wind turbines.
The work will take place over the next two summers, with the wind farm expected to be complete in autumn 2017.
A four-legged jack-up vessel more than 100 metres long will be used to install the wind turbines, Suomen Hyötytuuli said. It will be the first time such a vessel has been used in Finland, the company added.
