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.

The Nordseecluster is expected to supply green electricity to the equivalent of 1,600,000 German households annually as of 2029.

Five methanol engines are ready to power Van Oord's offshore installation vessel Boreas.

Vox Apolonia is Van Oord’s second hopper dredger equipped with an LNG fuel system and an outstanding example of its sustainable ambitions.

The final monopile for CrossWind’s Hollandse Kust Noord wind farm was successfully installed by Van Oord this week, bringing the total to 70.

About 70% of the channel has currently been deepened from ‑14.5 to ‑16 metres and the expectation is that the project will be completed in the third quarter of 2023.

Van Oord has signed a contract with North Ayrshire Council to construct a flood protection scheme for Millport, on the island of Great Cumbrae, UK.

Named Vox Apolonia, the energy efficient dredger is equipped with green features and has the ability to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus will get a major crane upgrade.

Van Oord kicked off the construction of the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust Noord by installing the first monopile.

By installing a new, longer boom on Aeolus’ existing crane, the vessel will be ready to handle the newest generation up to 15 MW turbines for offshore wind projects.

Van Oord has been selected as preferred contractor for the construction of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, 23 kilometres north of the Polish coastline.
