Jan De Nul Group has been contracted by Vattenfall to transport and install turbines for the 344MW Vesterhav Nord and Syd offshore wind farms off Denmark.
Jack-up vessel Vole au Vent (pictured) will be mobilised for the installation of the 8.4MW Siemens Gamesa machines.
The contract includes the design, engineering, manufacturing, procurement and delivery of the sea-fastening.
Jan De Nul will also be responsible for the engineering of the RAMS for the marine operations related to the turbine installation.
Vesterhav Nord is based west of the coast of Vejlbi, and Vesterhav Syd is located close to the Sondervig coast.
The two offshore wind farms are expected to be fully operational by the end of 2023.
Jan De Nul Group area manager offshore renewables Jan Van Impe said: “We are very pleased and honoured with this contract award as it confirms once more that Jan De Nul is a trustworthy and experienced partner in offshore wind.
“After the successful installation of 72 wind turbines for the 604 MW Kriegers Flak wind farm – the largest in Denmark – we are very pleased with the opportunity to build further on our experience together with Vattenfall.”
Jan De Nul Group head of commercial offshore wind Bart Willems said: “We are proud to contribute to the energy transition in Europe, more specifically with this ambitious project in Denmark.
“After the successful commissioning of other Danish wind farms this is another milestone for the production of green electricity for the Danish households.
“Jan De Nul has the equipment, the experience and the commitment to complete this project successfully.”
