Van Oord

Dutch marine construction firm Van Oord has been contracted by Danish fund manager and renewables investor Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to install inter-array cables for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.

Under the contract with an undisclosed value, Van Oord will transport and install 33 cables, with a total length of about 64 km.
