Havfram has secured contracts to provide offshore wind installation vessels to projects in the German part of the North Sea.
Havfram has signed a contract with Luxcara, a German asset manager specialising in clean energy infrastructure projects, for the transport and installation support of wind turbines for the Waterkant offshore wind farm.
The agreement covers the vessel charter for transport and installation of 16 of the 18.5 MW turbines. Havfram will execute the works during the spring of 2028 using a wind turbine installation vessel that is currently under construction.
Waterkant will be built approximately 90 km off the island of Borkum, in the German part of the North Sea. It will have a capacity of approximately 270 MW.
Havfram also secured a contract from Vattenfall and BASF for the Nordlicht offshore wind farm cluster. The Nordlicht wind farm zone, located 85 km north of the island of Borkum consists of two separate sites: Nordlicht I (980 MW) and Nordlicht II (630 MW).
For Nordlicht I, the contract covers the transportation and installation support of 68 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, with work scheduled to commence in the summer of 2027. For Nordlicht II, Havfram will execute the transport and installation support of 44 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, starting in the summer of 2028.
Even Larsen, ceo of Havfram Wind, said the deal adds to “an already strong backlog of projects”.
In April last year, Huisman landed a contract for a 3,000-tonne fully electric leg encircling crane (LEC) from offshore wind turbine installation contractor Havfram Wind, which will be installed aboard its second NG-20000X installation vessel.
