REBO and Siemens Wind Power have signed a concession agreement for the use of the port facilities during 1 year for the pre-assembly of the 42 wind turbines for the fifth Belgian offshore wind farm, Rentel.
From the REBO-terminal in the Port of the Ostend, the different parts of the wind turbines: blades, nacelles and tower elements will be pre-assembled and prepared. Next step is the loading on the installation vessel and the installation of the turbines on the monopiles at sea. The supply and pre-assembly of the wind turbines will start in early 2018, taking a full year.
