BELGIAN WINDFARM, RENTEL AGREEMENT ON PORT FACILITIES
Siemens Wind Power have selected the REBO-terminal in Ostend
The companies signed a concession agreement for the use of the port facilities during one year for the pre-assembly of the 42 wind turbines for the fifth Belgian offshore wind farm, Rentel. From the REBO-terminal in the Port of the Ostend, the different parts of the wind turbines: blades, nacelles and tower elements will be pre-assembled and prepared – the next step is the loading on the installation vessel and the installation of the turbines on the monopiles at sea.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
REBO NV was selected because of the strategic location and easy accessibility of its terminal. This combined with the varied realisations from the REBO terminal, make the Port of Oostende a reliable partner for the smooth rollout of the second biggest offshore wind farms in the Belgian part of the North Sea.
The preparations for this big yard are already ongoing. The supply and pre- assembly of the wind turbines will start in early 2018, taking a full year.
LOCAL WORKFORCE
In 2019 a local team of Siemens will organise the operations and maintenance of the turbines in Oostende, for at least 17 years. For the selection of this team and the execution of the maintenance contract, the company will rely on local recruitment of technicians and safety coordinators. They will therefore work closely with the port authority of Oostende and local partners such as GeoSea, Deme and Rebo.

The Rentel offshore windfarm will be Siemens first wind project in Belgium. The
