Wind Industry Profile of


Successful Installation of 24 Turbines of Arcadis Ost 1 Offshore Wind Farm

Parkwind successfully finishes the current installation campaign of the Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm. The wind farm that started its foundation installation in early summer of 2022, is already delivering green energy to the German grid since mid-January 2023. After a 3-year break for new offshore wind in the German Baltic Sea, Arcadis Ost 1 marked the restart of offshore wind farm build-out in the area.

The installation of 24 turbines of Parkwind’s Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm has been completed and most turbines are already producing green electricity and thus contributing to the German Energiewende. This marks the end of the first installation campaign of the wind farm using the revolutionary floating RNA installation method developed together with Heerema MC and Vestas. Due to some delays on blade deliveries, the remaining three turbines will be installed upcoming Autumn, completing the 257 MW windfarm.

The Rotor Nacelle Assembly (RNA) method has proven to be a successful and reliable method for installing wind turbine generators with floating installation vessels. Installation cycle times were consistent and competitive with traditional methods while the floating installation introduces various specific benefits, such as zero seabed interaction which is especially important in areas of significant water depth or challenging soil conditions.

"The success of the RNA installation method marks a significant achievement for the offshore wind industry. Parkwind has been at the forefront of innovation in offshore wind for the last decade, and with Arcadis Ost 1 we continue to do so. As offshore wind energy targets grow, this kind of innovation is key if we want to move towards a sustainable future as fast as possible. As zones go further offshore and turbines increase in size, we are certain to see a continued demand for substantial innovation in our industry. We are delighted to be a part of this journey,” commented Eric Antoons, co-CEO of Parkwind.

Heerema’s Project Manager, Thijs Postma, added: “Knowing that the entire market was watching the first commercial floating installation of wind turbine generators was a unique and special experience and I’m especially proud of the huge team effort that made this project possible. We thank all of our partners and subcontractors and look forward to the second campaign for the remaining turbines later this year.”

“The floating installation of Arcadis Ost 1 has demonstrated Heerema's ability to make a real change in the offshore wind market. We continue to be committed to introducing new methodologies that can solve industry challenges” said Ramon de Haas, CTO of Heerema.
