The transition piece for the offshore substation at the 370MW Norther offshore wind farm off the coast of Belgium is being shipped to Rotterdam ready for installation.
Van Oord installation vessel Aeolus will then load the TP and install it at the project site.
Aeolus has recently undergone an upgrade adding a new Huisman crane with a lifting capacity of 1600 tonnes, a reinforced deck, larger spudcans and a helideck.
Norther will consist of 44 8.4MW MHI Vestas V164 turbines and is being developed by a joint venture of Eneco, Mitsubishi Corp subsidiary Diamond Generation Europe and Belgium energy company Elicio.
