As of 18 February 2026, the monopile and transition-piece foundations for the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms were in manufacturing. Offshorewind.biz reported that Sif was producing the monopiles and Smulders the transition pieces ahead of the 2026 offshore construction campaign. These components will be installed using Heerema’s heavy-lift vessel Thialf as part of a programme that includes 100 monopiles and associated transition pieces. The manufacturing progress underpins the schedule to start large-scale foundation installation for Bałtyk 2 in 2026.
