Dutch company Van Oord has signed a contract with Norther for the balance of plant works for the Norther offshore wind farm, which is set to become Belgium’s largest offshore wind project.
Under the contract, Van Oord’s works include the engineering, procurement, supply and installation of the 44 WTG foundations, the offshore high voltage station and the inter-array and export cables, and the installation of the turbines.
For the transport and installation of the foundations and turbines Van Oord intends to deploy its offshore installation vessel Aeolus and cable-laying vessel Nexus.
The construction will start in 2018.
