Boskalis secures 100th offshore wind farm contract
Boskalis has acquired
a contract to construct an undisclosed offshore wind farm off the United
States coastline. The company revealed that the contract marks a special
milestone as it is the 100th offshore wind farm project that Boskalis has
worked on over the past decade.
The Boskalis project scope includes the transportation and installation
of the wind turbine foundations and power cables, for which two crane vessels
and several transport and cable-laying vessels will be deployed.
The award of this project follows a busy year for Boskalis in the offshore
wind market. The crane vessels Bokalift 1 and 2, as well as the fallpipe
vessel Seahorse were active on various projects in Taiwan, and with the
survey fleet site investigation campaigns were carried out for numerous
offshore wind projects in the United States and Europe, where Boskalis
was also active with its cable-laying vessels.
Peter Berdowski, CEO Boskalis: “We are proud to have reached the milestone
of our 100th offshore wind farm with the award of this wonderful project.
It illustrates the leading role we have established in the offshore wind
market over the past decade. In those ten years, we were involved in the
realization of almost half of all offshore wind farms worldwide, excluding
the Chinese market. With our combination of hydraulic engineering and offshore
activities, we are making a unique contribution to the global energy transition.”
