HelWin Beta Jacket Ready to Go

Siemens’ HelWin beta jacket was successfully loaded on the barge yesterday at Heerema’s Vlissingen yard.

“The next milestone is the sail away to its final offshore destination,” Heerema Fabrication Gruop said.

The jacket is part of the HelWin beta converter platform, which is one of the main components of the TenneT DC offshore grid connection ‘HelWin2′.

Last week, Heerema undertook preparations for the loading of the 3,500-ton jacket.

HelWin 2 is the link between the North Sea offshore wind farm Amrumbank West and the onshore grid.
