Siemens Gamesa has chosen DHSS’s offshore logistics terminal in Port of IJmuiden as the marshalling, storage and logistics facility for the 1500MW Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm zone off the Netherlands.
The hub will be used during the commissioning phase of the 140 Siemens Gamesa 11MW-200 DD turbines, which will be installed at the wind farm zone.
Load-outs of the turbines from the Sif terminal at Rotterdam Maasvlakte will be taken care of by Cadeler’s installation vessel Wind Osprey, while the commissioning team of Siemens Gamesa will operate from DHSS‘s logistics hub in IJmuiden.
The hub is located next door to the project’s newly built operations and maintenance base for the Vattenfall project.
Installation and commissioning at the project site is expected to commence in the second half of 2022 and last for 12 months.
DHSS chief executive Wim Schouwenaar said: “We are grateful for Siemens Gamesa’s trust in our company and approach.
“As of our experience and expertise in a large number of offshore wind projects, our processes are tailor made and very efficient, while keeping quality, health and safety at the highest industry standards.”
