DEME Offshore’s jack-up vessel Apollo has successfully undergone spudcan extensions at Damen Shiprepair and Conversion’s yard in Dunkirk, France. With each spudcan extended, the jack-up has increased stability and is now suited to a wider variety of seabed soils.

Damen announced that the vessel is now ready to start work on the SeaMade offshore wind farm, where it will install turbine towers and blades. The SeaMade project comprises two wind farms, Mermaid and Seastar, and is located in Belgian waters approximately 40-50 km off the coast of Ostend, Belgium, in water depths ranging between 22 metres and 38 metres. The project is being developed by project company SeaMade NV, a joint venture of the Otary group (70%), Electrabel (Engie) (17.5%), and Eneco Wind Belgium (12.5%).

The two projects will have a combined capacity of 487 MW and will consist of 58 Siemens Gamesa SG 8.0-167 DD turbines, each with an individual installed capacity of 8.4 MW mounted on monopile foundations. The wind turbines each have a hub height of 109 m and a rotor diameter of 167 m and are expected to power around 500,000 households annually. Once constructed and operational, it is expected to offset 700,000 t of CO2 emissions a year.
