Baltic Eagle Project, Pin Piles, Spain to the Netherlands

Baltic Eagle Wind Farm Project

deugro, in collaboration with dteq Transport Engineering Solutions (dteq), successfully delivered eight pin piles from Bilbao, Spain to Vlissingen, Netherlands as part of the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm project. The 77-meter-long pin piles, with a weight of over 270 metric tons each and a diameter of 2.4 meters, are the largest piles ever manufactured by Haizea Bilbao.

 

Project Execution

deugro coordinated complex operations involving shore cranes, local agents, and the vessel, while dteq provided custom-designed transport saddles and performed finite element 3D analysis of the cargo. Due to limited crane capacity, two vessel rotations were required to load piles on both starboard and port sides. The small vessel size and heavy cargo demanded meticulous planning for stacking and sea-fastening, including load distribution on the tween deck. Specific spots on each pontoon were defined to manage high loads, and precise measurements were one of the biggest challenges. At the destination, unexpected terminal constraints required unloading hatch covers onto a pontoon at short notice, which was executed smoothly without incidents.

 

Sere Wind Farm

With collaboration among the teams in Denmark, South Africa and China, deugro moved 168,500 FRT of oversized wind turbine generator (WTG) equipment from China and Denmark to South Africa.

The cargo included tower sections, generators, hubs, nacelles and blades.

 

 

Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm

In close collaboration between its offices in South Africa, Denmark, the USA and China, deugro successfully moved a total of 162,634.34 freight tons of wind turbine components from China, Denmark and the USA to Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. The cargo included tower sections, generators and hubs, 60 nacelles with a unit weight of 85 metric tons and 180 blades with a length of 49.5 meters.
