Windfarm installation

The Meerwind Offshore Wind Park, a 288MW wind farm development located in the Exclusive Economic Zone region of the German North Sea, will soon be completed.

This will be another successful offshore windfarm installation for the UK based Seajacks to add to its portfolio of marine renewable projects.

Seajacks vessels and crews are working their way through the remaining turbines, with Zaratan installing five sets and Leviathan two sets of turbine components in each cycle.

On completion of the 80th turbine, which is due to happen in February 2014, Seajacks will have installed 310 turbines Siemens 3.6MW turbines since 2010.

The company puts its success on the project down to the on-time delivery of the newbuild, Zaratan, which enabled it to install the first monopiles at the site on time in October.
