Heavy lift vessel Xiang He Kou with the topside on board reached the installation site at the weekend.
In early September, Dubai shipyard Drydocks World shipped out the 18,000-tonne topside that will be installed some 130km off the German coast in water depths of about 40 metres.
BorWin Gamma will be the grid hub of the BorWin3 HVDC connection scheduled to go online in 2019.
