Eon and Statoil have celebrated a topping out ceremony for the operations and maintenance centre for the 385MW Arkona offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea.
The €4m centre, which is at Mukran Port in Sassnitz on the island of Rügen, comprises a 3000 square-metre area made up of offices, common spaces and a warehouse for spare/replacement parts.
Two transport ships can dock directly in front of the complex, be loaded and unloaded using a crane and bring the technicians to the wind farm, Eon said.
It added that building work is planned to be completed in June.
The production of the monopole foundations has started at EEW’s facility in Rostock, the transition pieces will be manufactured by Bladt Industries in Aalborg in Denmark.
Construction of the offshore transformer station by the French shipyard STX in the docks at Marseille is “progressing well”, Eon said.
