GROW offshore wind’s Post

The wind turbine installation scope is expected to begin in early 2030 and will be executed by one of Cadeler’s O-class jack-up vessels, with completion planned by late 2030. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dUanxThV

All monopiles and almost half of the transition pieces (TPs) have been installed at the project site, with wind turbine installation expected to start this month and first power to be produced at the beginning of next year. Once operational, the project will become the biggest #offshorewind farm in the US and one of the biggest in the world.

VESSEL REVIEW: DEME has taken delivery of a new self-elevating wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) from Chinese shipbuilder Yantai CIMC Raffles Offshore. 'Norse Wind' is the first in a new series of vessels that have been designed by NOV and GustoMSC to be capable of installing the next generation of large offshore wind turbines. 'Norse Wind' is equipped to install wind turbines with rotor diameters of more than 300 metres and XXL monopiles weighing up to 3,000 tons each. Typical transport configurations include six 15MW turbines, five 18MW turbines, or four 20MW turbines. https://lnkd.in/garbwwwB

The Basic Design Approval (BDA) covers the use of the design with the SG 14‑236 DD 15 MW wind turbine from Siemens Gamesa in a wide range of offshore conditions. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dnDPiaY4 Odfjell Oceanwind DNV #floatingwind #offshorewind

The scope has involved supporting more than 40 wind farm sites across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region with over a thousand blades worked on as part of the 2025 campaign. Delivering the project is a highly experienced team of blade repair technicians from OEG’s offshore wind topside services team.

The second offshore converter station topside for the project, known as “Link 2”, has been completed by Aibel at its Thailand yard and is now on its way to Europe. The two HVDC platforms are part of a contract with Ørsted and will use technology from Hitachi Energy. The first platform already arrived in June 2025 in Norway for final outfitting ahead of installation at sea in 2026. When Hornsea 3 becomes operational (in 2027) it will deploy around 200 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines and produce roughly 2.9 GW of clean energy. https://lnkd.in/dikyVni7
