On 11 April 2025, Baltic Power confirmed the first successful installation of transition pieces at the offshore site. Five transition elements, supplied by Smulders, were installed to connect monopile foundations with the towers of the offshore wind turbines and substations. Each steel transition piece weighs up to 350 tonnes and exceeds 20 m in height. Van Oord is responsible for transport and installation, using the floating crane vessel SAL LONE equipped with two 1,000‑tonne cranes and DP2 positioning, supported by crew transfer vessels. This work follows the earlier installation of the first monopiles and represents the start of the transition piece installation campaign for the 78 units required across the farm. The activity is supervised by Baltic Power’s Maritime Coordination Center, with foundation monopile installation continuing in parallel.
