Cadeler has completed the final turbine installation at the 960MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

The final turbines were installed by Cadeler's vessel Wind Keeper [formerly Boqiang 3060, –ed] under a long-term contract with Vestas.

Cadeler’s scope of the installation campaign was executed using two of Cadeler's offshore wind installation vessels. Wind Orca commenced the project in April 2025 before Wind Keeper took over the remaining installation scope in the first quarter of 2026 under Cadeler's long-term contract with Vestas announced last year.

The project marked Wind Keeper's first offshore wind installation campaign since joining the Cadeler fleet following her acquisition and comprehensive upgrade.

Developed by EnBW, the He Dreiht wind farm consists of 64 Vestas 15MW wind turbines. Cadeler said that, once fully operational, the wind farm will generate enough renewable electricity to supply approximately 1.1 million households.

The wind farm is located approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Borkum and around 110 kilometres west of Helgoland in the German North Sea.
