Gigantic foundations for the Danish offshore wind farm Kriegers Flak leave Port of Ostend

Monday, 8 January, 2018 - 14:45

Today at 2 pm, the barge with the two impressive foundations of 10,000 tonnes and 8,000 tonnes, destined for the Danish offshore wind farm Kriegers Flak, has left the port of Ostend in Belgium – an important milestone of this project.

The barge is towed by the tug Zeus of Finland and is planned to arrive in Denmark on the 15th of January 2018. Depending on the weather conditions, the first foundation will be installed by the end of January, and the second a couple of weeks later. Once the foundations have been installed our most recent multipurpose vessel Adhémar de Saint-Venant will start with the ballasting and scour protection works.
