Its turbines, made by GE, stand 260 meters tall — and specialist vessel Voltaire was instrumental in their installation."the world's largest offshore wind farm"
In an online Q&A before installations at Dogger Bank began, Jan De Nul's Rutger Standaert spoke of their importance."Thanks to those legs, the Voltaire can effectively operate at a water depth of 80 meters," Standaert, who is manager of vessel construction at the business, said. "It is a project that requires a lot of preparation," he told CNBC."There's the logistics in terms of having the vessels to do the installation ... and then of course, you also have the logistics in terms of getting the components to the marshaling port."
