𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱-𝗼𝗳𝗳 💪 With the start of scour protection works, the offshore construction works for the first phase of RWE’s German 1.6 GW Nordseecluster offshore wind project has kicked-off. A milestone for the project! The scour protection provides full protection for the monopiles that will be installed later this year. We have been contracted to install the scour protection for this project. The works are being executed by our flexible fallpipe vessel Stornes, which is equipped with a dynamic positioning system, a flexible fallpipe, and in-house developed ROV technology. This allows us to install the scour protection with high precision and efficiency, even at greater water depths. With over 35 years of experience in subsea rock installation, Van Oord continues to lead the way in supporting both the offshore wind and offshore industries with pre- and post-lay rock installation, scour protection installation, seabed preparation and ballasting services for offshore structures. In a later phase, our brand-new offshore installation vessel Boreas will be deployed to carry out the foundation installation, marking Nordseecluster its first project. #vanoord #Marineingenuity #Energytransition #Subsearockinstallation

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗲𝘁-𝗜𝘁: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁 🌊 We’re proud to present trencher Jet-It, the latest addition to Van Oord’s fleet of trenchers. Following a successful test campaign in the North Sea, this state-of-the-art machine is now ready for its first project. Building on the expertise gained from our previous trenchers, Dig-It and Deep Dig-It, we have developed another efficient trencher. With the arrival of Jet-It, we now operate three trenchers, all designed for the purpose of cable burial. While the Dig-It and Deep Dig-It have mechanical cutting and jetting technology, the Jet-It is equipped with jetting technology only. It is a very efficiently designed system which uses high-pressure water to fluidise the substrate and create a trench. 💡 Each trencher in our fleet has its own strengths, allowing us to tailor our approach to soil conditions, trench depth, and project requirements. With the arrival of Jet-It, we can offer even greater efficiency in subsea cable installation. Designed for fast mobilisation, the Jet-It can be deployed on any vessel in a single lift, saving both time and costs. It is ideally suited for the burial of inter-array and export cables in sandy and light clay soils. With two high-pressure, frequency-driven water pumps, it is capable of trenching to depths of up to 3 metres. Multiple integrated sensors enable the trencher to operate at high speed with great precision. We’re excited to start work with our new sustainable trencher, Jet-It. Will you be wishing our trencher the best of luck? 🍀 #Vanoord #Marineingenuity #energytransition

𝗩𝗼𝘅 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹 In the port of Barra do Riacho (Aracruz) and Port of Vitória in Brazil, the maintenance dredging work for our client Vports Autoridade Portuária is making great progress. The project is being executed by our trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Alexia. This is the first dredging project in Brazil for the Vox Alexia and the crew is working hard to demonstrate its capabilities. We are bringing the navigation channel at Vitoria port and the turning basin and berth pockets at Barra do Riacho to the required depths. The Vox Alexia is working on two ports at once within a short period of time so good coordination is key. 👌 The vessel is working with 2 plough boats and a survey vessel and our colleagues are bringing the expertise and coordination skills that this work requires. ✅ We would like to thank our client for the pleasant collaboration. 🤝 If you'd like to get an impression – check out the video below! #vanoord #Marineingenuity #maritimetransport #VPorts

𝗩𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 2024 was a busy year for Van Oord, with 229 projects completed in 39 countries, a solid operational performance and a high level of investment in sustainable vessels. The investments included a dual fuel foundation and turbine installation vessel, a dual fuel cable-laying vessel, the modification of a heavy lift installation vessel and the construction of 2 new hybrid water injection dredgers. Revenues were satisfactory, while results were impacted by setbacks on one offshore wind project. Looking forward, Van Oord anticipates increased market volatility and remains confident in its ability to seize opportunities, thanks to its skilled workforce and competitive fleet. 𝙁𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 📈 Van Oord has invested around EUR 1 billion in recent years to expand its fleet in both offshore energy and dredging. The largest investment in our company’s history includes the construction of the dual fuel vessel, Boreas, which is able to run on methanol and capable of installing 20 MW offshore wind turbines. The Boreas completed sea trials in November and was handed over to Van Oord. The vessel has recently arrived in the Netherlands, where the final outfitting works and the christening will take place. The Calypso, a second dual fuel vessel designed for installing high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables, also made its deployment debut in 2024. Finally, heavy lift installation vessel Svanen was modified to extend to a height of 125 metres, enabling the installation of the newest monopile foundations for offshore wind farms. The dredging fleet was expanded with two hybrid water injection dredgers (WIDs), Rijn and Rhône. These new WIDs are equipped with technology that substantially reduces their energy consumption and emissions: hybrid energy management systems, heat recovery systems and exhaust gas aftertreatment devices.

Commissioned by Rivierenland Water Board, Mekante Diek aims for the maximum possible emission reduction. Research institute TNO examined the efficiency and sustainability impact of this project over the past 2 years. The findings underline that large-scale emission-free construction is possible, with the project saving over 1,190 tonnes of CO₂ and 3,260 kg of nitrogen (NOx) annually. 🌍 With some 40 machines equipped with mostly interchangeable, rechargeable battery packs and the creation of WattHub, Europe's first XL fast charging plaza, the project sets a new standard for sustainable construction.

𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗨𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 Today, at Van Oord, we are launching our annual safety event with the theme: Speak Up for Safety. 💪 We're inspired by the Dutch 'Bewust Veilig Dag’, a yearly initiative where hundreds of companies in construction, engineering, infrastructure, and maintenance sectors focus on safety. This year we are opening the conversation about the importance of identifying hazards and speaking up against unsafe behaviour in every work environment. Safety starts with all of us. Whether you’re on-site or in the office – by speaking up for safety, we can make a real difference together! What does Speak Up for Safety mean to you? 💭 Share your thoughts in the comments! #VanOord #SpeakUpForSafety #Sayyestosafety #Weworktogether

𝗩𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘆, 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗮 ✅ Van Oord and joint venture partner Boskalis recently completed an extensive dredging project in Walvis Bay, Namibia. With trailing suction hopper dredgers Vox Alexia and Gateway we deepened the 10-kilometre-long access channel to the port of Walvis Bay from -14.4 to -16.8 metres and widened it from 130 to 200 metres. In addition, both vessels dredged the harbour basin to a depth of -16.3 metres and expanded it by more than 400 metres. A major challenge on the project was the presence of excessive concentrations of toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the dredged sediment. To mitigate this risk, a large number of health and safety measures were taken during the mobilisation prior to the project, including modifications to the vessels and the installation of dozens of sensors and special H2S filters. Also, the vessel crews were trained on how to deal with H2S. They were able to measure the concentration of H2S in the air at all times and established safe working protocols on board. A large number of sensors were also installed on the quays of the port area to alert the workers and users of the port in time in case the gas appeared. Thanks to these engineering and administrative controls, the project was successfully completed without incidents and well on time. 💪 We thank the client for its trust and the project team and vessel crews for their dedication during this project.
