Ocean Winds has taken delivery of the first BC-Wind monopiles at Świnoujście Offshore Terminal in Poland. Their 28 October arrival moves the project into port-side preparation ahead of offshore installation, the developer said in its press release.
Ocean Winds said no Polish facility dedicated to offshore installation had previously handled foundations of comparable dimensions. The company began leasing the terminal in September 2026. The components will remain there for interim storage while teams make them ready for the next leg to the offshore site.
Local contractors have distinct roles in the terminal campaign. Dynpap will oversee the monopiles and transition pieces, assist with cargo transfers, fit internal equipment, and repair paintwork and protective layers. Team Project will prepare the ground for offloading and keep the terminal’s working surface serviceable during component movements. MAG Offshore will supply steel plates for the SPMT routes to protect terminal infrastructure as self-propelled modular transporters move the structures.
The units have diameters of 9.5 to 10.5 metres and lengths of roughly 66 to 89 metres. Of the 27 planned monopiles, the offshore substation will use one, while turbine locations account for the other 26. The terminal is about 150 nautical miles from the BC-Wind site.
Foundation installation is scheduled during the first six months of 2027. BC-Wind, a planned 390 MW project about 23 kilometres from Poland’s shoreline, will comprise 26 turbines. It is Ocean Winds’ first Baltic Sea development.
