Boskalis in consortium with TKF Subsea Solutions has signed a contract with Skyborn to supply and install array cables at the 977MW Gennaker offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
Royal Boskalis B.V. said the consortium will deliver the complete inter-array cable system connecting the future 63 wind turbine generators at the project.
The cables will be manufactured in the Netherlands by TKF and installed by Boskalis’ cable-laying vessel BOKA Ocean from the end of 2027, the company added.
Boskalis said the contract represents a value that is considered to be sizable.
With a planned capacity of 976.5MW, Gennaker will become the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea and is expected to supply about one million households with clean energy.
Commissioning of the offshore wind farm is planned for 2028.
Boskalis is already active on the project through its subsidiary Heinrich Hirdes EOD Services GmbH, which is carrying out an identification and clearance campaign for unexploded ordnance within the wind farm area using its dedicated UXO vessel Kamara.
