With our construction support vessel BOKA Falcon – one of the strongest in the world, along with its sister vessel BOKA Fulmar – Boskalis worked in the Polish Baltic Sea for nearly a year. The BOKA Falcon dug the trench for the future export and array cables installation using two different teams and also cleared the planned cable route of any boulders.
With a bollard pull of over 400 tons, the BOKA Falcon first did this with the T-Rex plough and, in recent months, with the Megalodon plough. Both ploughs were deployed for both the inter-array cable route in Ørsted’s future 1.5 MW Baltica 2 offshore wind farm and the more than 260-kilometer export cable scope for four cables from the offshore substations to the Polish coast. A cable corridor of more than 400 kilometers. That is as long as a straight line between the northernmost and southernmost points of the Danish mainland.
However, the BOKA Falcon’s heavy-duty work was just the beginning of the major Baltica 2 project that Boskalis will be carrying out. With our cable-laying vessels BOKA Ocean and Ndurance, Boskalis will return to the Baltic Sea to install the inter-array cables (BOKA Ocean) and the export cables (Ndurance).
We would like to thank the crew of the BOKA Falcon and the project team for their dedication during this project, and we thank Ørsted for the pleasant collaboration so far and looking forward to the next stage in the development of the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm.
