Wood Group Kenny Ireland Limited

Wood was appointed by Zeevonk, the Vattenfall–Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) joint venture developing IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk), to perform front-end engineering design (FEED) work for the project’s hydrogen facility in Rotterdam/Maasvlakte. The appointment covered a roughly ten-month FEED programme intended to mature the concept and deliver a defined technical basis for subsequent execution. The FEED scope included development of engineering deliverables and the preparation of detailed cost estimates to support Zeevonk’s investment and procurement decision-making. The hydrogen facility was planned as a key system-integration element associated with the IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind area, designed to convert electricity from the offshore wind farm (and the co-located floating offshore solar component) into green hydrogen. The FEED outputs were intended to underpin Zeevonk’s follow-on EPC tender process for the hydrogen plant, which Zeevonk indicated was expected to be launched in 2025. This role is linked to the wider IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk) integrated energy-system concept (offshore wind, offshore solar, and hydrogen production), and sits within the project’s development phase as a pre-construction engineering definition activity supporting later procurement and construction execution.
