Van Oord had hired Jumbo for installation of the pieces, each weighing 400 tonnes, and the work was completed ahead of schedule. The next stage will see the transformer station transported by sea from French shipyard STX France to the Baltic site. Located 35km offshore in Germany’s Exclusive Economic Zone, the wind farm is due on stream in 2019 and will generate 385 MW of power.
The EUR 1.2 billion facility is a joint venture between E.ON Energy Projects GmbH and Statoil ASA.
