The Essen-based company says the permit, from the Dutch ministry of transport and hydraulic engineering (Rijkswaterstaat), entitles it to take part in a state tendering procedure for funds for offshore projects that will be held in November.

Current plans call for Tromp Binnen to comprise 59 turbines set on gravity foundations of reinforced concrete. The turbines will be erected 75km off the coast of Callantsoog, in northern Holland, while the onshore substation will be built in Ijmuiden.
