Havfram announces two big Transport & Installation contracts for Offshore Wind Farms

Havfram, provider of transport and installation services for the offshore wind industry, has announced two offshore wind contracts today, at the bi-annual WindEnergy Hamburg event in Germany.

Nordlicht Wind Farm Zone

The first contract is with Vattenfall and BASF for their Nordlicht offshore wind farm cluster. The Nordlicht wind farm zone, located 85 kilometers north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea, consists of two separate sites: Nordlicht I, with an expected capacity of 980 MW, and Nordlicht II, with an expected capacity of 630 MW.

For Nordlicht I, the contract covers the transportation and installation support of 68 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, with work scheduled to commence in the summer of 2027. For Nordlicht II, Havfram will execute the transport and installation support of 44 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, starting in the summer of 2028. For both Nordlicht I and Nordlicht II, Havfram will utilize one of its state-of-the-art Wind Turbine Installation vessels, currently under construction.

Waterkant Offshore Wind Farm

The second contract is with Luxcara, an independent German asset manager specialized in clean energy infrastructure projects, for the transport and installation support of wind turbines for the Waterkant offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

The agreement covers the vessel charter for transport and installation of 16 of the foreseen 18.5 MW turbines. Havfram will execute the works during the spring of 2028, using one of its advanced Wind Turbine Installation vessels, currently under construction.
