Sixteen out of 58 Siemens Gamesa 8.4 MW turbines have been installed at the SeaMade offshore wind project in Belgium.
According to Otary CEO Mathias Verkest, the 9th turbine load-out is currently being prepared at the Port of Oostende.
DEME’s Apollo installed the first turbine at the project site located some 50km off the coast in mid-June. The project produced its first power shortly after.
The 487 MW wind farm, which comprises the 252 MW Seastar and the 235 MW Mermaid offshore wind projects, will be Belgium’s largest offshore wind farm once commissioned this year.
