Van Oord was awarded a €1.3 billion engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the 600 MW Gemini offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea in May 2014, covering design, supply and installation of turbine foundations, two offshore and one onshore substation, and the export and inter-array cables, as well as installation of the 150 Siemens turbines. The company’s new jack-up vessel Aeolus and cable-laying vessel Nexus were designated for the project, with construction scheduled to start that year and completion targeted for early 2017.
