Denmark-based offshore wind vessel player Cadeler has signed a firm contract with Ocean Winds for the transportation and installation of 26 Siemens Gamesa 14MW offshore wind turbines at the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea.
The value of the contract to Cadeler is expected to be between €49m and €58m ($57.8m and $68.4m).
The signing of this firm contract follows the vessel reservation agreement signed in February 2025 between Cadeler and Ocean Winds. When fully completed, BC-Wind will have a total capacity of up to 390 MW, supplying clean electricity to nearly half a million Polish households.
The project is located 23 km from the Polish coastline, north of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is Ocean Winds’ first project in Poland and will play an important role in the country’s ambitious offshore wind plans.
The installation is set to start in 2028 and last for approximately four months. Cadeler will deploy one of its O-class wind turbine installation vessels and will operate from the Port of Gdańsk in Poland.
The two companies have cooperated previously on the Moray West offshore wind farm off the coast of Scotland. But this new deal represents their first direct contractual partnership.
Cadeler has already been contracted for several projects in Poland, one of them being the Baltic Power project, Poland’s first offshore wind farm.
The Danish firm also signed a contract with Ørsted and PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna for the transport and installation of Siemens Gamesa 14MW turbines at Baltica 2, part of the Baltica offshore wind farm. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
And finally, Cadeler penned a deal with Equinor and Polenergia for the installation of two offshore wind farms, Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3, with operations scheduled to begin in 2027.
