Sif secures Vineyard Wind project monopiles supply contract

Sif Holding will manufacture 84 monopiles for the 800 MW Vineyard Wind project in Massachusetts, USA.

Sif’s scope comprises manufacturing of the monopiles, storage at the company's Maasvlakte 2 facility in the Port of Rotterdam, and delivery by RoRo load-out via the facility's deep sea quayside onto transportation vessels in 2020-2021.

Located some 14 miles off Martha's Vineyard, the project is being developed by Vineyard Wind LLC, a joint venture between Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. It is the first large-scale offshore wind project in the USA.

Sif would have to work on a tight schedule as the area has seasonal restrictions on the installation and deliveries in place to protect the North Atlantic Right Whales.
