Vestas has secured a firm order for the 257MW Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind project from Parkwind, to deliver 27 V174-9.5MW turbines 19 km north east off the coast of the Island of Rugen, in the German Baltic Sea.
 
The V174-9.5 MW turbines will be installed using a new floating installation method instead of the typical method using a jack-up vessel. In collaboration with Parkwind and the vessel operator, Heerema Marine Contractors, a dual crane vessel will be used which enables the floating installation method, involving dynamic lifting and installation of all turbine components. This installation method prevents challenges with seabed and soil conditions by avoiding contact with the seabed altogether. Turbine components will be delivered to the Port of Roenne on the Danish island of Bornholm, starting in the third quarter of 2022. Offshore installation is expected commence by the end of 2022 and Arcadis Ost 1 is planned for full operation in 2023. Once installed, Vestas will also service Arcadis Ost 1 with a 15-year service contract.
