Buss Terminal in Eemshaven has been selected to serve as base port for foundation installation during the construction of the Hornsea Two offshore wind farm located approximately 89 km off the Yorkshire Coast. Approximately 140,000 m² of the 250,000 m² of the heavy cargo terminal will be occupied with wind farm components for the duration of construction activities.

Buss Terminal Eemshaven won the tender offer issued by DEME Offshore in February and is now responsible for the handling, storage and terminal logistics of the 165 monopiles and transition pieces at its own terminal site. The monopile foundations of the wind turbines weigh up to 1,230 tons. This equals the weight of approximately three fully loaded Boeing 747-400 aircrafts.

“We are delighted to provide our services for this large-scale project to Deme Offshore in the UK. This underlines the combined strength of our project team in Hamburg and our terminal in Eemshaven”, comments Martin Schulz, Managing Director of the Buss Energy Group, about the upcoming project.

The 1.4 GW Hornsea Two offshore wind farm secured a Contract for Difference in September 2017. Once operational in 2022, the wind farm is expected to supply clean electricity to over 1.3 million homes. It will consist of 165 Siemens Gamesa SG 8.0-167 DD turbines covering an offshore area of 462 km² .

Hornsea Two is one of four projects Ørsted is developing off the Yorkshire coast. It recently commissioned the Hornsea One offshore wind farm, 120 km off the coast of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. It is currently the world’s largest offshore wind farm operational offshore wind farm features 174 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 turbines with an overall capacity of 1.2 GW. It is anticipated that the project will produce enough power for more than 1 million homes annually.

Ørsted is also developing the Hornsea Three and Hornsea Four projects. Hornsea Three is currently awaiting development consent approval from the Secretary of State and Hornsea Four recently entered a formal phase of community consultation.
