The Netherlands are small, but the coast is long. This is why the government has released three large offshore areas off the North Sea coast in recent years: Borssele, Hollandse Kust Zuid (South) and Hollandse Kust Noord (North) creating an ever-increasing offshore boom.
Long tradition
MHI Vestas Offshore Wind is the newest company to invest heavily in the Netherlands. The Danish-Japanese specialist for offshore wind turbines has leased 20 hectares of land in the Dutch port of Vlissingen. A facility for the pre-assembly of offshore wind turbines is being built there.
