First Gennaker Offshore Substation Rolls Out of Smulders Yard (Video)
completion in 2028.Following the roll out of the offshore substation unit, the consortium will now proceed with the installation of transformers.Located approximately 15 kilometers north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the project area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal sea.“This marks an important milestone for the project, which is being developed on behalf of 50Hertz Transmission GmbH by the HSI consortium (HSM Offshore Energy BV, Smulders and Iv). The project will play a key role in strengthening Germany’s
Nexans, Crowley Wind Services to Build Cable Lay Barge for US Ops
French subsea power cable maker and services provider Nexans has formed partnership with Crowley Wind Services to develop and operate a Jones Act compliant cable lay barge. The cable lay barge will be dedicated to supporting the installation of subsea transmission lines necessary for offshore wind energy, telecommunications and other major industrial applications.The 300-foot, U.S.-flagged vessel, built in Louisiana and tested in the U.S. Gulf to Nexans specifications, will be crewed by American mariners under Crowley’s operation.The vessel will play a critical role in laying and burying
Siemens Gamesa Lines Up 63-Turbine Order for German Offshore Wind Farm
to proceed from Skyborn.With a capacity of up to 976.5 MW, Gennaker is to become the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea to date.Located approximately 15 kilometers north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, the project area sits within a designated priority zone for offshore wind energy in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coastal sea.Skyborn secured the initial building permit for the Gennaker site in May 2019 and maintains site exclusivity for development. Once commissioned, the project will supply approximately 1 million people with green electricity.Installation at sea is
Cierco Energy and MPS Team Up for Celtic Sea Floating Wind Demo
partnership will expedite our path to market and will provide a real-world showcase of how PelaFlex meets the toughest challenges facing the offshore wind sector – cost, complexity, and scaling deployment in deeper waters.“Our PelaFlex platform solutions unlock new horizons for offshore wind energy in depths that are beyond the realms of being economically viable with fixed bottom foundations. Designed for industrialisation and integration with UK ports, our technology solutions bring real value to the supply chain and regional economy,” added Gareth Stockman, CEO at MPS

, built for international subsea specialist DISA International.The latest addition joins DISA’s growing fleet of Saab Seaeye vehicles and contributes to DISA’s high-performance inspection and survey operations across Europe.The newly delivered Falcon is already at work supporting offshore wind energy operations in Germany, where it is conducting balance of plant inspections and general visual inspections (GVI).The vehicle will soon be deployed to further projects in the Netherlands and Belgium, playing a key role in offshore inspections and measurement tasks.This latest purchase brings DISA&rsquo
Fugro Gets On Board Ireland’s Offshore Grid Development Project
services, such as metocean data collection and aerial drone surveys, that enhance and complement its data insights.This project directly supports the Irish Government's climate action plan, which targets expanding Ireland's renewable energy capacity to 80%, including at least 5 GW of offshore wind energy. Robust grid connections such as those developed under this framework are critical to integrating offshore wind into the national energy system.“We’re proud to support EirGrid in delivering critical infrastructure for Ireland’s offshore energy future. By providing end-to-end
First Steel Cut for HVAC Infrastructure for Belgian Offshore Energy Hub
.The HVAC modules, which include high-voltage substations and a facility module, will be directly installed onto the Princess Elisabeth offshore energy hub.Located 45 km off the Belgian coast, the artificial island will serve as a key connection point for transporting at least 2.1 GW of offshore wind energy generated in the Princess Elisabeth Zone to the mainland.The HVAC substations will house essential components such as power transformers and gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), so forming the backbone of the island’s AC transmission infrastructure.The modules are being built by HSI Pemac, a
