Belgian contractor Jan De Nul’s massive Voltaire wind turbine installation vessel is on its way to help build the world’s biggest wind farm, the 3.6GW Dogger Bank in the UK North Sea,“This vessel will be the second and largest jack-up vessel in Jan De Nul’s fleet, and able to support the renewable energy industry to build next generation offshore wind farms,” noted the statement.Voltaire is built to transport, lift and install all the elements necessary for offshore wind turbines.
Philippe Hutse, Director Offshore Division at Jan De Nul Group said: “The Voltaire will enable us to work in deeper waters and reach ever higher nacelle heights than before. Adding Voltaire and Les Alizés to the fleet gives us the perfect set of vessels to execute the growing number of large and clustered international offshore wind projects."
"Our forward-looking view on market trends and the quick decision making to invest in this set of Next Gen installation vessels, have done us no harm. The Voltaire and Les Alizés have all the required specifications to meet the upcoming challenges in offshore renewables.
