Dutch marine contractor Van Oord has commissioned EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH to manufacture and deliver 31 XL monopiles for the Deutsche Bucht offshore wind farm.

EEW SPC estimates that the work will see the process of more than 35,000 tons of steel in total. The foundations will be manufactured in Rostock between November 2017 and May 2018 so that offshore installation work can commence as planned at the beginning of September 2018.

“We are extremely pleased to be processing operations together with Van Oord on our third large project after Belwind and Gemini. Van Oord is a strategically important partner for us and the long-standing good relationship acknowledges our successful cooperation” said Michael Hof, COO/Managing Director EEW SPC after the meeting.

The 252MW project is currently in an advanced stage of development and recently reached financial close. Deutsche Bucht is Northland's third offshore wind project. It is located 95 km northwest of the island of Borkum in the German Exclusive Economic Zone.

The total estimated project cost is approximately EUR 1.3bn, and once operational, it is expected to generate over 1,000GWh of electricity per year. Deutsche Bucht will be connected to the 800MW BorWin Beta offshore converter station which has already been constructed.
