Dajin Offshore has awarded Szczecin Shipyard Wulkan a $13.1 million fabrication contract to produce at least 40 internal platform packages for offshore wind foundation structures associated with Nordseecluster B in the German North Sea. The packages will be supplied in an install-ready condition.

Manufacturing is scheduled to begin in late February 2026. The work is expected to involve around 200 people directly and indirectly across the yard and its local supply base, including engineering functions, shopfloor labour, and supporting vendors.

Nordseecluster is being developed by RWE (51%) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49%), with RWE responsible for construction and operations across the project’s full lifecycle. The clustered development is located about 50 km north of the island of Juist within Germany’s Exclusive Economic Zone and combines multiple sites in the eastern German North Sea.

The overall build-out is planned to reach up to 1.6 GW, with generation projected to match the electricity demand equivalent to around 1.6 million German homes. Delivery is organised in two phases, and Nordseecluster B is scheduled to enter commercial operations from early 2029.

Dajin Offshore said the contract reflects continuing cooperation with European developers and subcontractors as it works to further integrate into the European offshore wind market. The agreement is also framed as a move to deepen industrial cooperation within Europe’s offshore wind supply chain.

Owned by the Polish State Treasury, Szczecin Shipyard Wulkan operates on a 45 ha site on the Oder River. The yard said it is equipped for large-scale steel structure fabrication and has identified offshore wind as a strategic growth area.

Adam Kowalski, Head of Supply Chain Management at Dajin Offshore, said the collaboration is intended to support knowledge-sharing on standards and practical lessons from international offshore wind projects, while strengthening local capabilities relevant to future Polish wind farm supply chains.
