Fred. Olsen Windcarrier supplies vessel for Thor offshore wind farm turbine installation

The vessel Brave Tern is being used for transportation and installation of turbines from the Port of Esbjerg. The project received a 30-year electricity production license earlier in 2026. A total of 72 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD turbines, each rated at up to 15 MW, are scheduled to be installed by the end of 2026. Each turbine stands 148 meters above sea level with rotor blades measuring 115 meters in length. The wind farm is expected to generate enough electricity to supply more than one million Danish households. Sustainability features include steel turbine towers manufactured with a lower carbon footprint by Siemens Gamesa and recyclable rotor blades for some turbines. The Thor wind farm is Denmark’s largest offshore wind project to date. A new RWE service building at the Port of Thorsminde, scheduled to open in March, will support the project’s operations and is expected to create 50 - 60 local jobs.
