Heerema Marine Contractors has been contracted by EnBW to transport and install monopiles and transition pieces at the He Dreiht offshore wind farm. 

The work includes the transport and installation of 64 monopiles and transition pieces. During operations, Heerema will use the IHC IQIP double-walled noise mitigation system NMS-10,000 amongst other systems to reduce noise pollution.

Heerema CEO, Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven said, “We are delighted to be EnBW’s chosen contractor, and we must credit the Heerema team and our client for their excellent collaboration in finding the most suited solutions for the He Dreiht project.”

Heerema’s offshore wind director, Jeroen van Oosten said, “We are committed to increasing our market share in large monopile installations for offshore wind, and are proud to be chosen to enable EnBW to deliver 900 MW of renewable energy.”

EnBW He Dreiht project director, Jörn Däinghaus added, “Heerema is a contractor with a high level of experience and excellent technological know-how. We look forward to working with Heerema to develop and install our first subsidy-free offshore windpark.”
