HI Vestas has signed up to a long-term tenancy on a site at the Dutch port of Vlissingen, which it will use as a staging post for assembly and ship-out of its V164 turbines, with first use next year for Belgium’s 370MW Norther project, Recharge can reveal.
The deal — the value of which was not disclosed — will see the Japanese-Danish turbine maker tailor a 20-hectare location on the grounds of the Breakbulk & Offshore Wind (BOW) Terminal to accommodate nacelles, blades and tower parts coming in from its factories in Denmark and the UK, as well as from its wider supply chain.
