Van Oord has completed the installation of the 150th foundation at the Gemini offshore wind farm.

On July 01, 2015, Van Oord’s installation vessel Aeolus, together with Swire Blue Ocean’s Pacific Osprey, started installation and the last foundation was installed on October 17.

The installation of the foundations was completed one month earlier than scheduled, the company informed.

On February 01, 2016, both vessels will return to the project, completely modified for the installation of the 150 wind turbines.

They will sail from Esbjerg in Denmark, where the wind turbines are produced and stored at Siemens, directly to the Gemini wind farm.
