Bright ideas from Borssele bound for Baltica While many of his colleagues are busy building Poland’s largest offshore wind farm, Baltica 2, Jakub’s eyes are on what comes next. As Operations Preparation Manager, his focus is on getting operations right from day one, shaping how the wind farm runs when it comes online in 2027…. Read More
We’re thrilled to receive the Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis (German Sustainability Award) for our innovative low-noise installation method for offshore wind foundations By applying jetting technology – using high-pressure water jets – we significantly reduce underwater noise during the installation of large monopile foundations. At our German offshore wind farm Gode Wind 3, the low-noise installation method contributed… Read More
According to WindEurope, European port infrastructure has fallen behind the rapid growth of offshore wind energy. The sector’s expansion is placing new demands on ports, which require more space, stronger infrastructure, and more efficient logistics to accommodate larger turbines and the arrival of new technologies. The development of offshore wind is advancing much faster than port… Read More
Top Maryland Democrats are coming out in full force to support a massive offshore wind project currently tied up in federal court.

𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 Dozens of wind turbines, standing meters tall, generate green electricity at sea. But how does this wind energy reach homes and businesses on land? Precisely: through thick export cables. Currently, Boskalis is installing these export cables in Taiwan with our cable-laying vessel Ndurance, while our other cable-laying vessels Ndeavor and BOKA Ocean are working… Read More
We’ve just welcomed an impressive replica monopile weighing 435 tonnes – that’s as heavy as four blue whales – to the Port of Tyne on the north-east coast of the UK. This 27-metre-long model is an impressive sight on the quayside and will soon be used for important installation trials before offshore work begins. The trials at the Port of Tyne will cover… Read More
