As part of the work scope, the value of marine habitats will be increased through artificial reefs and bio-structures.

Once operational, the two offshore wind farms will deliver renewable energy to approximately 2.5 million households.

Van Oord has successfully carried out beach nourishment works along the coast of the Dutch province of Zeeland.

The Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm is being constructed in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, 16.3 kilometres off the coast of Brittany. It is the first wind farm in France with jacket foundations.

In total, Van Oord will install approximately 70 kilometres of 66kV inter-array cables, manufactured by subcontractor TKF.

The Calypso is Van Oord’s second cable-laying vessel. It will mainly be used for installing inter-array grid and export cables for offshore wind projects worldwide.

This will be the most ecological wind farm yet, with minimal impact on the natural habitat of birds, bats and marine mammals, and with a thriving underwater world.

It is the first time the LNG trailing suction hopper dredger has been used at any of the group’s ports, and only the second time it has carried out work in the UK.

By enlarging the waterway, the ports of Almelo, Hengelo and Enschede are more accessible and larger vessel can sail through more safely and smoothly.

After the summer, the Van Oord – Hakkers - De Klerk consortium will commence construction of a tug quay in the Port of Rotterdam's Yangtze Canal.

Last week, a unique situation occurred off the coast of Zeeland, the Netherlands. Van Oord’s two newest identical trailing suction hopper dredgers Vox Ariane and Vox Apolonia were working together to reinforce the coastline, both powered by the sustainable fuel LNG.
