It will serve as a base for handling heavy loads, such as offshore wind farm components.

Upon completion, the terminal will support the North Sea region’s energy transition and the German government’s wind energy expansion goals.

DEME Germany area manager Lutz Droge said: “Construction of the expanded terminal requires an innovative technical approach.

“The project includes the installation of combi-walls and land reclamation in a dynamic estuarine environment, meeting the complex engineering requirements tailored to a heavy load terminal and demanding geotechnical conditions.”

DEME previously completed the construction of adjacent berths in the past and used the port as a base during the Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farm construction.

The company is also involved in the Elbe River deepening and Kiel Canal widening projects.

In related news, DEME recently announced a milestone in the construction of the Îles d’Yeu et Noirmoutier wind farm in France. The 31st wind turbine foundation was installed by the company marking the halfway milestone for the project.
