On 20 February 2025, Zeevonk (the Vattenfall–Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners joint venture for IJmuiden Ver Beta) confirmed that Wood had been appointed to perform Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the project's hydrogen facility at Rotterdam/Maasvlakte. The FEED programme is set to run for approximately ten months and will deliver engineering deliverables together with detailed cost estimates to support Zeevonk's investment and procurement decision-making. The FEED outputs will lay the groundwork for Zeevonk's follow-on EPC tender for the hydrogen plant, which the JV indicated was expected to launch in Q2 2025. The hydrogen facility is a key system-integration element of the Zeevonk concept, designed to convert electricity from the IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm (and co-located floating offshore solar) into green hydrogen for delivery to industrial offtakers in the Rotterdam port cluster.
