The Netherlands Enterprise Agency awarded MMT with a contract to perform geophysical soil investigation of the Ten Noorden van de Waddeneilanden wind farm zone. The data, resulting from the investigation, will be used by offshore wind farm developers to prepare bids for this site.
The goal of the soil investigation is to play a role to the bathymetrical, morphological and geological understanding of the area.
The 700MW Ten Noorden van de Waddeneilanden zone is part of the government’s Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap 2030 which sets out plans for the development of 7GW of offshore wind capacity in the 2024-2030 period.
Moreover, the preparations of the project are being conducted, with the fieldwork planned to be performed in July and August from MMT’s survey vessel Franklin.
The tenders for the zones will be opened from 2021 onward, starting with the Hollandse Kust (West), and the projects are expected to be commissioned between 2024 and 2030.

Also, the survey consists of the collection of high resolution bathymetry and seabed imagery, in addition to determining the exact, current position of existing cables and pipelines.
