On 15 June 2025, the last three monopiles for RWE's Sofia offshore wind farm were loaded at the quay of EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH in Rostock.
The total of 100 monopiles with weights of 1,143 to 1,521 tons and lengths of up to 91.8 meters were loaded onto a barge without incident using the RoRo (roll on/roll off) method with EEW's own SPMTs.
In the meantime, 90 foundations have been transported to the installation site in the North Sea and installed by the transport and installation company Van Oord NV using the ship “Aeolus”.
The Sofia wind farm will go into operation in 2026 and will then produce green electricity for around 1.2 million British households.
