Sustainable innovation and action at scale are essential to driving the energy transition. That is why we are proud to have our efforts rewarded with the NBCC Sustainability Award at the North Sea Neighbours’ Dinner, organised by the Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC).

This award recognises Van Oord’s contribution to energy transition through sustainable maritime solutions. The jury particularly highlighted Van Oord’s willingness to make significant, forward-looking investments that support communities, ecosystems and the transition to a net-zero future. Together, we can create a better world for future generations.

Van Oord thanks the NBCC and the jury for their recognition.

We are proud to mark another important milestone in the development of the Ecowende offshore wind farm: the successful installation of the project's first wind turbine, located approximately 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast.

This marks the transition into the next phase of the project, building on the successful completion of the foundation works.

Van Oord is proud to contribute to a project that is setting new standards for both renewable energy generation and nature enhancement. Using our next-generation offshore installation vessel Boreas, we are installing 52 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines. Together, these will generate 760 MW of clean energy: enough to meet around 3% of the Netherlands’ electricity demand.

This vessel is fully equipped to meet Ecowende’s stringent ecological requirements, and its deployment in the North Sea highlights both the strength of its design and the scale at which it can operate.

We are grateful to work alongside Ecowende, Vestas and all project partners and look forward to continuing the installation campaign in the months ahead.

Selected for the Environment Agency’s Beach Management Framework

Van Oord has secured a place on the Environment Agency’s Beach Management Framework in England. Through this framework, we will support the delivery of coastal protection and beach management works along the English coastline, helping to reduce the risk of flooding and erosion and to protect communities, businesses and public spaces.

Building on more than 25 years of collaboration with the Environment Agency, we look forward to continuing to deliver sustainable and innovative solutions for coastal protection.

This long-term programme underlines our commitment to climate adaptation and creating resilient coastlines.

Last Saturday, Van Oord was honoured to participate in a strategic dialogue session with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, and leading CEOs from the Netherlands, held as part of the State Visit.

The roundtable underscored the strong and deepening relationship between India and the Netherlands, with a shared focus on areas of mutual strategic importance, including energy, infrastructure, innovation, and knowledge exchange.

For Van Oord, the session provided a valuable opportunity to exchange insights on key themes including energy and port infrastructure, maritime development, and climate adaptation. Having witnessed India’s transformation over recent decades, the company recognises its strategic importance and is eager to draw on this experience to play an active role in supporting the country’s future development through marine ingenuity.

Van Oord thanks all participants for the constructive dialogue and aims to play an important part in contributing to the Strategic Partnership 2026–2030, which aspires to further strengthen ties between India and the Netherlands.

Since 2007, Menno van Kruistum has seen offshore wind grow into a European giant.

While the industry has mastered building at scale, Menno believes the next phase is about more than just size. To stay future-proof, he argues the focus should also shift more towards better system integration and diverse renewable sources.

What do you see as the next step for integrating offshore energy into our grid?

The Answest consortium (consisting of Van Oord and KWS Infra) has delivered the Hansweert d**e reinforcement project ahead of schedule and to a high standard of sustainability. The reinforced d**e now complies with the latest Dutch safety standard, which factors in more severe storms. The project contributes to the future-proofing of flood protection in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

The work, which began in late 2022, was completed a full year ahead of schedule. The Scheldestromen water board (Waterschap Scheldestromen) had commissioned Van Oord and KWS to reinforce a total of 5.2 kilometres of d**e between the lock complex in Hansweert and the Kapellebank tidal flat.

Sustainability and environmental management were paramount in all stages of the project. Overall, CO₂ emissions on site were reduced by approximately 1,350 tonnes, mainly by deploying electric and hybrid equipment (including electric cranes and an electric excavator). In addition, materials were transported by water wherever possible. These efforts make this project one of the first sustainable d**e reinforcement initiatives in the Netherlands.

In this video relay, organised by Governance Code Veiligheid in de Bouw GCVB, Dredging & Infra Director Ronald de Geus explains how Van Oord, with its international projects and diverse cultures, is committed to safety through clear communication, solid preparation and collaboration across the entire supply chain.

Van Oord participates in the Governance Code for Safety in Construction (GCVB) to improve safety across the entire supply chain and to establish shared standards. As one of the founding members of the GCVB, we believe safety is a priority and shared responsibility.

VO:X Barentsz, Van Oord’s first unmanned survey vessel purpose-built for offshore operations, has completed its first multi-day deployment at Ecowende's Hollandse Kust West offshore wind farm. The vessel supported the monopile and cable installation works executed by installation vessels Boreas, Nexus and Subsea Viking.

This marks an important milestone in the further roll-out of remote, unmanned survey operations offshore. By deploying unmanned survey technology, we are able to monitor critical infrastructure efficiently, safely and with minimal environmental impact while maintaining the highest survey standards. This is essential to ensuring the integrity and long-term reliability of offshore assets, such as subsea cables.

John van der Marel, USV lead at Van Oord: “With the deployment of VO:X Barentsz, we demonstrated how unmanned survey vessels can operate remotely over multiple days, delivering high-quality data while continuing to advance innovation in offshore surveying.”

Every day, thousands of colleagues across our projects and vessels work in complex environments at sea, on site and in our offices. That is why we consider safety to be an absolute priority in everything we do.

Creating a safe working environment is something we do together. It’s in the conversations we have, the choices we make, and the responsibility we take for ourselves and for each other. On this day, we celebrate our safety culture and thank everyone who actively contributes to it.
