The strategic alliance between Navantia Seanergies and Windar Renovables has completed in Fene (A Coruña) the construction of its 200th jacket for offshore wind.
This is a fixed foundation for a wind turbine for the Dieppe le Tréport offshore wind farm, promoted by LEMS, a joint venture where Ocean Winds is the majority partner. This milestone—the construction of 200 jackets—highlights an expertise built since the first offshore wind project of the alliance between Navantia and Windar: 29 jackets for Iberdrola’s German offshore wind farm Wikinger more than a decade ago.
Following this first contract, more agreements have come for jacket construction, including Moray East, Nissum Bredning, East Anglia One, St. Brieuc, as well as the current project under construction, Dieppe le Tréport, reaching a total of 200 units installed in offshore wind farms in Germany, Denmark, France, and the United Kingdom.
Another 80 units have been built in the United Kingdom, at facilities now part of Navantia UK, mainly for UK projects such as Ormond, Beatrice, and East Anglia One. Adding those manufactured in Spain and the UK, the total represents approximately half of the jackets installed in Europe, making this alliance the leading manufacturer of this product internationally.
Navantia Seanergies and Windar Renovables concentrate their industrial activity for this product at the Fene shipyard, which is consolidating as Europe’s reference center for offshore wind, combining this product with the construction of floaters, monopiles, and soon offshore electrical substations, contributing to the development of key technologies for the energy transition.
