Boskalis’ construction support vessel BOKA Falcon has successfully completed the first phase of the Baltica 2 project in Poland. Over the past few months, the vessel was equipped with the large T-rex plough to remove boulders from the seabed, clearing the way for the installation of the offshore wind farm’s export and inter-array cables. This first phase involved removing hundreds of boulders along the planned cable routes.
Before the cable installation can begin, the BOKA Falcon will return to the route once more – this time with a different tool attached to the yellow A-frame on the aft deck: the Megalodon. Whereas the T-rex was dragged across the seabed to remove obstacles, the Megalodon is purpose-built for trenching. Its white blade, fitted with two green iron teeth, can dig up to two meters deep into the seabed to loosen the sand, creating a long trench in which the cable will eventually be installed and buried.
That task is scheduled for next year, along with the dredging work that Boskalis will carry out in the future offshore wind farm. Using both a trailing suction hopper dredger and a backhoe dredger, Boskalis will dredge the sand dunes in the offshore wind farm area as well as the pits in which the installation vessels can position themselves during their work for Baltica 2.
We wish the crew of the BOKA Falcon every success with part two of their Baltica 2 campaign and thank Ørsted for their trust and pleasant cooperation.
