Herbosch-Kiere’s Atlantis busy at Courance Beach VIDEO

Herbosch-Kiere’s multipurpose vessel Atlantis is currently dredging in shallow water close to Courance Beach in Saint-Nazaire (draft 2.3m) – part of the construction of France’s first offshore wind farm.

Saint-Nazaire, also known as Parc du Banc de Guérande, will comprise 80 GE Haliade 150-6MW turbines located between 12 and 20 km off the coast of the Guérande peninsula.

The 480 MW project is scheduled to be operational in the summer of 2022 when it will become the first commercial-scale wind farm installed in French waters.
