As part of its 2022 contracting round, Baltic Power awarded Van Oord a major installation services contract covering offshore transport and installation of foundation components for the Baltic Power offshore wind farm. Under the contract, Van Oord will deploy its specialist fleet to handle heavy monopiles and transition pieces in Polish Baltic waters. The work involves lifting and piling operations using dedicated installation vessels, supported by tugs and other support craft, to install 78 monopile foundations for turbines and offshore substations. Selecting an experienced offshore contractor at this stage secured installation capacity and contributed to de‑risking the foundation campaign ahead of the 2024–2025 construction window.
