Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam has completed the de- and mobilization scope for the Calvados offshore wind farm drilling installation project for Saipem.

The work involved transferring three drilling components, each weighing up to 1,100 tonnes, from the jack-up vessel Voie au Vent to Damen’s Botlek yard. In addition to the heavy-lift operation, the project included extensive modifications, structural redesigns, and the integration of new systems, while maximizing the reuse of existing components.

The campaign was carried out through coordination between Damen’s Botlek and Schiedam locations. A total of 400,000 man-hours were recorded during the project, with more than 200 partners and subcontractors involved.

The company said safety remained the top priority throughout the operation. The campaign was completed without incidents and finished one month ahead of schedule.

The completion of the project marks another offshore wind assignment delivered by Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam.
