German offshore transport and installation services provider Havfram has secured a contract from Vattenfall and BASF for the Nordlicht offshore wind cluster in the German North Sea.
For the 980MW Nordlicht 1 project, Havfram will provide transportation and installation support of 68 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, with work scheduled to commence in the summer of 2027.
On the 630MW Nordlicht 2, the contractor will execute the transport and installation support of 44 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, starting in the summer of 2028.
Havfram will use one of its wind turbine installation vessels, currently under construction, for the work.
“For Havfram, this contract adds to an already strong backlog of projects,” Havfram CEO Even Larsen said.
“The contract, which we proudly have signed at the WindEnergy exhibition fair today, is a testament to the trust Vattenfall and BASF have in our capabilities in delivering excellent transport and installation services and reinforces our growing reputation within the offshore wind sector.”
“This partnership with Havfram showcases our commitment to investing in assets that enable our wind farms to be developed in a sustainable manner,” Vattenfall acting Head of Offshore Wind Samira Barakt said.
“The use of a low-emission installation vessel is an important step on our path towards fossil freedom and we are pleased to work together with Havfram, a trusted partner that shares our strategic ambitions.”
