Boskalis secures contract for 882 MW offshore wind project in UK
Boskalis has secured a contract from Ocean Winds to support the development of the 882 MW Moray West offshore wind farm located off the coast of Scotland. Ocean Winds is a 50:50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, dedicated to offshore wind energy.
Under the 12-month contract Boskalis will conduct a range of activities, including transporting monopile foundations weighing up to 2,000 tonnes from the Far East to the port of Invergordon, carrying out seabed preparation, and laying a layer of rock to act as a filter and scour protection for the foundations. Boskalis has also carried out an offshore geophysical site survey, which included identifying any unexploded ordnance.
The Moray West offshore wind farm is expected to generate enough energy to power up to 640,000 homes in the UK. The development consists of 60 offshore wind turbines and two substations, all fixed on monopile foundations. Due to the large turbine size (14.7 MW) and water depth (up to 54 m), extremely large XXL monopiles will be required for the project.
