Cadeler has signed two contracts with Ørsted for the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm in the UK. The first contract is for the transportation and installation ( T&I) of all monopile type foundations on the project.
The project is expected to begin in Q1/2026 and finish by the end of the year. The second contract is for the installation of around half of the Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) required. The turbine project is forecast to begin just as the foundations project is completed around Q4/2026 and is expected to finish in 2027. Cadeler will make use of one of its two newbuild X-class vessels. For this project alone, Cadeler expects to employ 25-30 office personnel and 30-35 specialist offshore technicians. The Hornsea 3 wind farm, subject to Ørsted taking a Final Investment Decision on the project, will generate at least 2.85 GW of clean, renewable energy.
