Foundation Installations Completed For Baltyk 2 And Baltyk 3 Offshore Wind Farms
Heerema Marine Contractors has successfully completed the offshore foundation installation project for the Baltyk 2 and Baltyk 3 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea.
As part of the project, Heerema installed 100 monopiles and transition pieces, along with two offshore substation jackets, over a four month period.
The company used the semi- submersible crane vessel Thialf and 35 support vessels to ensure smooth operations.
Baltyk 2 and Baltyk 3 are a joint venture between Equinor and Polenergia.
Each wind farm will have an installed capacity of 720 MW and forms part of a larger project that, once completed, will have 3 GW of installed capacity, enough to supply 4 million households with green energy.
Marcel de Nooijer, CEO of Heerema Marine Contractors, said: “Baltyk 2 and 3 will become an important source of renewable electricity for Poland, supporting both the country’s energy transition and long-term energy security.”
In the announcement, Heerema emphasised its close collaboration with vessel owners, subcontractors, marine service providers, fabricators, and project teams both onshore and offshore.

The vessel can accommodate up to 88 personnel and is equipped with an offshore access system, a helideck and two daughter craſt for the transfer of personnel to offshore installations.
