ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands — Van Oord has installed all 50 foundations and inter-array cables for Iberdrola’s Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, 30 km northeast of the island of Rügen in the German sector of the Baltic Sea.
The company’s heavy-lift vessel Svanen installed the monopiles earlier this year. Van Oord then completed the wind turbine foundations through installing the transition pieces in two campaigns using Spliethoff’s Brouwersgracht and Jumbo’s Fairplayer vessels.
And the company’s Nexus vessel recently completed laying of the inter-array cables that connect the turbines and transmit the electricity. The Trencher Dig-It buried the cables to the required depth.
Termination and testing works of the cable system continues and should finish early next year.
Baltic Eagle will have a production capacity of 476 MW.
