DEME secures major contract to transport and install foundations for phase 1 of the Zeevonk offshore wind farm in the Netherlands
Executive summary: DEME was awarded a contract to transport and install foundations for phase 1 of the Zeevonk offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. The contract strengthens DEME’s position in the offshore wind foundation market and advances the Netherlands’ renewable energy targets.
Who is involved: DEME (contractor), Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) as joint owners of Zeevonk, and the Dutch market as the project location.
Likely next: DEME will mobilize its marine installation assets to begin foundation transport and installation, after which turbine erection and commissioning will follow.
On July 20 2026, DEME announced that it had been awarded a contract to transport and install the foundations for the first phase of the Zeevonk offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. The project is a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and the award adds to DEME’s growing portfolio of offshore wind foundation installations. No financial details were disclosed in the release. The contract reinforces DEME’s role as a key supplier in the North Sea wind market and aligns with the Dutch government’s ambition to expand offshore wind capacity as part of its climate objectives. By securing this work, DEME may enhance its visibility for future foundation contracts in the region, while the Zeevonk project moves closer to construction, contributing to the incremental increase of renewable electricity generation expected from Dutch offshore wind farms over the coming years.
