On 4, 5 and 6 September, Van Oord will be present at the World Port Days in Rotterdam. The heavy lift vessel Svanen will be moored along the Parkkade quay.

Visitors will not only be given a unique insight into the world of marine engineering when they visit the stand, they can also step aboard the Svanen.

With a height of 102 metres, the Svanen will be the tallest participant at the World Port Days. The ship – with a lifting capacity of more than 9,000 tonnes – is part of Van Oord's advanced fleet for the installation of offshore wind parks.

Van Oord signed a contract in June for the installation of foundations at the Burbo bank extension. Van Oord will install the project’s 32 monopiles and transition piece foundations, supply and install the scour protection and provide the logistics between the fabrication ports in Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom and the offshore wind farm. The installation works are planned to take place during the summer of 2016.

For installing foundations at the Burbo Bank Extension offshore wind farm, Van Oord will use its heavy lift vessel Svanen.To date the vessel has successfully installed nearly 500 offshore wind turbine foundations.
