DEME has won a contract for the construction of a new offshore wind terminal at the Port of Cuxhaven in Germany.
As part of a consortium, including Depenbrock Bau GmbH & Co. KG and TAGU, DEME will carry out the dredging and land reclamation operations for the new terminal, operated by Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG.
According to DEME, two trailing suction hopper dredgers, a backhoe dredger and several barges will be deployed for the project – a total volume of more than 3 million m³ is expected to be reclaimed.
Previously, DEME and its consortium partners delivered the neighboring berths 8 (2008–2009) and 4 (2016–2018), located directly east and west of the current project site.
Also, DEME used Cuxhaven as the base port during the construction of the Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farm.
The project is set to begin in early 2025 and is expected to take 3.5 years.
