As part of the EMDT offshore wind project, 90 m wind turbine masts have now been delivered to the French port of Le Havre following their arrival on 16 December. Primary steel and the main structures were produced in Bilbao by Haizea Wind Group, while interior outfitting work was carried out in Brest. The towers are now positioned at the Port du Havre. Final assembly will be completed there before the units are installed offshore.
Each tower travelled in three large segments on board the vessel Rotra Mare. The new arrivals supplement equipment already completed in Le Havre, notably nacelles and blades produced entirely by Siemens Gamesa. Taken together, these deliveries show the high level of engagement from companies in and around the port in driving the project forward.
The shipment sits within a wider construction phase that has been underway since January 2024. Current offshore activities include placing scour protection, driving and drilling 248 piles, and installing the offshore power substation. Since September, teams have also been laying the initial foundations for 62 wind turbines.
Bringing the masts into Le Havre marks a further step in the roll-out of the project and reinforces its strong presence in the region.
