The last of 150 foundations at the Gemini offshore wind farm was installed on 17 October.
On 1 July, Van Oord’s installation vessel Aeolus, together with Swire Blue Ocean’s Pacific Osprey, started the installation and completed the work one month earlier than scheduled.
On 1 February 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 offshore wind farm.
