Germany-based SAL Heavy Lift has signed contracts with Van Oord to support the transportation and installation of secondary structures for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm in Poland.

Baltica 2 is the first phase of the Baltica Offshore Wind Farm, developed by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted in the Polish Baltic Sea.

In February this year, Van Oord won a contract to build the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 project. Under the agreement, the Dutch company will transport and install 111 extended monopiles, of which 107 will serve as foundations for Siemens Gamesa wind turbines and the other four as foundations for offshore substations.

Van Oord plans to Aeolus And Sweden installation vessels at the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm.

Navantia-Windar will supply 77 monopile foundations for the project’s turbines and substations, and Steelwind Nordenham will supply the remaining 34 wind turbine foundations for Baltica 2.

The developers recently announced that they expect to take the final investment decision (FID) on the Baltica 2 offshore wind project, located approximately 40 kilometres off the coast of Poland, between Łeba and Ustka, in the second half of this year.

Baltica 2 is expected to be completed by the end of 2027 and the 1 GW Baltica 3 project is expected to be completed by the end of this decade.

When fully operational, the 2.5 GW offshore wind project could provide enough renewable energy to power four million Polish households.
