Transport and installation turbine foundations offshore wind farm, Wikinger

The Wikinger offshore wind farm has been developed by Iberdrola in the Baltic Sea area, within the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The offshore site is about 34 km northeast of the island of Rügen, and covers an area of roughly 50 km², within which 70 wind turbine generators (WTG) of 5 MW and one offshore substation (OSS) are being installed. The water depths for installation range between 36 and 42 meters. When completed the windfarm will deliver 350 MW electrical power to the German national grid. The transport and installation of the 70 WTG foundations and the piles for the OSS has been carried out by Boskalis.
