Heerema Advances Poland’s Offshore Wind Infrastructure with Bałtyk 2 & 3
Heerema Marine Contractors has completed the offshore foundation installation campaign for the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms in Poland’s Baltic Sea, marking a major milestone for the country’s expanding renewable power infrastructure.
Working for the Equinor-Polenergia joint venture, Heerema installed 100 monopiles, 100 transition pieces and two offshore substation jackets during a four-month offshore campaign. The work was carried out using the semi-submersible crane vessel Thialf, supported by approximately 35 vessels.
At peak activity, around 15 vessels operated simultaneously across the project area, supporting transportation, marine coordination, crew transfer, grouting, bolting and other offshore operations.
Marcel de Nooijer, CEO of Heerema Marine Contractors, said:
“The completion of this offshore installation campaign is about more than delivering 100 foundations and two offshore substations. Bałtyk 2 and 3 will become an important source of renewable electricity for Poland, supporting both the country's energy transition and long-term energy security. We are proud to have contributed our offshore expertise to a project of this scale. My thanks go to Equinor, Polenergia, our project partners, subcontractors and offshore crews whose dedication and teamwork made this achievement possible.”
Heerema will return this winter to install the Bałtyk 2 offshore substation, followed by Bałtyk 3 in summer 2027.
