Van Oord orders DP2 cable-laying vessel for wind park construction

摘要

Van Oord has ordered a new cable-laying vessel. The ship will be built at Damen Shipyards' wharf in Romania and will be completed at the end of 2014. The ship is intended for the installation of electricity cables for offshore wind parks. Van Oord is making preparations for the Gemini wind park project which will be constructed 60 kms to the north of Schiermonnikoog, one of the Dutch Wadden Islands. The cable-laying vessel will be deployed at that site, among many others.
