Vestas said a “potential gamechanger” floating turbine installation technique is set to make its debut in the Baltic Sea after the OEM tied up a firm supply order for the Arcadis Ost offshore wind farm from developer Parkwind.

The Danish group will deploy 27 of its V174-9.5 MW machines at the site in the German Baltic northeast of the island of Rugen using the method developed with contractor Heerema.
