Mobilisation of Van Oord’s Boreas completed at Wagenborg Terminal Eemshaven

The Wagenborg terminal in Eemshaven once again proved its strategic value in the offshore energy sector. Van Oord’s Boreas—the largest offshore wind installation vessel in its fleet—was demobilised at the terminal following successful operations at the North Sea Cluster. Currently, preparations began for the vessel’s next assignment: the Hollandse Kust West project, where Boreas will install monopiles in the North Sea. Wagenborg is supporting this mobilisation project with a variety of assets and crews.

A key milestone in the mobilisation process is the installation of a CAPE VLT Tool and MENCK hammer, essential for the upcoming offshore operations. Wagenborg’s experienced tugboat crews recently manoeuvred the equipment with millimetre precision onto a pontoon alongside the Boreas. The next step—lifting the tools safely aboard—is scheduled to follow shortly, marking a critical phase in the vessel’s mobilisation.
