Van Oord

Van Oord was named as a principal contractor involved in the construction of the Prinses Amalia offshore wind farm and was also identified as a key party in the installation of sea cables for the project. The referenced project descriptions link Van Oord to the build-out of the wind farm’s offshore infrastructure and specifically to subsea cable installation works carried out during the 2007 construction campaign. For the wind farm electrical system, subsea array cables connect the 60 turbines in multiple in-field strings and link those strings back to the central offshore high-voltage station. Van Oord’s cited sea-cable installation role therefore includes subsea cable installation activities that are necessary for the inter-array network to function, such as in-field cable lay and associated installation operations within the wind farm. The sources also indicate Van Oord performed broader EPC-related works on the project, but the explicitly in-scope element captured here is its involvement with sea-cable installation. The cited material did not provide a discrete contract value, award date, or a quantified total of inter-array cable length attributable to Van Oord. Nonetheless, Van Oord’s role is explicitly associated with the named project and with offshore subsea cable installation works forming part of the wind farm’s internal electrical infrastructure.
