The vast experience and knowledge of both Sif and Smulders was evident and with all parties working in a positive collaborative manner the few minor challenges which arose were dispatched with ease
Our excellent facilities include the deep-water quay of 628 metres length and easy accessibility.
Because installation ships require our services in any case in order to load monopiles, it pays for various companies to also use our site for other logistics and final assembly services, and ultimately as a marshalling port for their projects. All required equipment, facilities and labour to execute clients’ requirements can be mobilized on site.
