Early 2021 Cadeler (former Swire Blue Ocean) will be sending Pacific Orca to the United Kingdom for a foundation installation campaign after being subcontracted to deliver an installation vessel by DEME.
Pacific Orca will support DEME’s Innovation with the installation of 165 monopile foundations at Ørsted’s Hornsea 2 offshore windfarm. Once foundations are in the water, 8.4 MW turbines will be delivered by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and installed by DEME vessels.
Hornsea 2 is located off the coast of Yorkshire and will provide 1.4 GW of offshore wind power upon connection to the grid, meeting the electricity needs of 1.3 million households.
