According to Eqin, the next batch is already on its way to the offshore site in the German North Sea onboard the jack-up rig Seafox 5.

The generators can be monitored in detail by a remote connection, the company said.

Located 35km north of the island of Borkum, the Merkur offshore wind farm will comprise 66 GE HaliadeTM 150-6MW wind turbines, the first of which was installed by Seafox 5 in early March.

The wind farm is expected to be completed by the end of the year and fully operational in 2019.
