To deliver the foundations, Dutch offshore contractor Ballast Nedam worked with Cuxhaven'based German logistics firm Cuxport.

Ballast Nedam will use its Svanen heavy lifting vessel, which previously worked at the nearby 288MW Butendiek project. The vessel has arrived at the feeder port, Cuxhaven, for preparation works.

The project is set to come online in 2015.
