Offshore site preparation for Bałtyk 3 began in January 2026 with the launch of a subsea rock installation campaign in the Baltic Sea. Equinor and Polenergia deployed specialised vessels to place more than one million tonnes of rock material on the seabed across the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 lease areas. The rock berms protect export and inter‑array cable routes and the future turbine foundations from wave action and sea currents, improving long‑term integrity and stability. This work, executed by marine contractors including Van Oord using multiple vessels, represents the first major offshore construction activity at the Bałtyk 3 site and prepares the ground for subsequent foundation and cable installation campaigns.
