Van Oord’s offshore transport and installation vessel Aeolus successfully completed the installation of 43 wind turbines on the Dutch Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm.

Aeolus completed the foundations in the autumn of 2014. The installation of the wind turbines started early April and was completed on 9 June. At the moment 22 wind turbines are operational, the remaining 21 wind turbines are expected to be operational in July 2015.

Aeolus’ next challenge is the construction of the Gemini offshore wind farm 85 kilometers off the northern Dutch coast.
