Contract awarded for FSRU jetty construction in Wilhelmshaven, Germany

FSRU Wilhelmshaven, a joint venture between French utilities company ENGIE and Brussels-based Tree Energy Solutions (TES), has awarded Van Oord a contract to construct a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) jetty at Wilhelmshaven in Germany.

Van Oord is responsible for the procurement and construction of the FSRU jetty. To expedite the process, monopiles will be used as the foundation for the jetty.

Van Oord is installing a total of 10 monopiles, including scour protection. The foundations will be equipped with platforms, catwalks, and furniture.

In addition, a trailing suction hopper dredger is being deployed to dredge the berth pocket and turning basin.
