(With extra pictures) SWZ Maritime's March issue includes a feature on the construction of one of the world's largest offshore wind parks: Gemini.
In total, the offshore wind park will have 150 wind turbines and is set to be fully operational in 2017. Recently, the park supplied its first power to the grid. Gemini is located 85 kilometres from the coast of Groningen, the Netherlands.
The article in SWZ Maritime provides an overview of the entire project, from plans and financing, to construction and equipment deployed (such as the Aeolus and Nexus). The pictures in the album below give you an idea of the work so far (please click the pop-out button to view the pictures in their proper dimensions).
