“North Sea Port has an excellent infrastructure in Vlissingen and a lot of experience in the area of offshore wind energy. Offshore wind energy offers many economic opportunities for Zeeland. Ørsted is proud to be part of that and we look forward to working with local and regional partners,” said Ørsted about its choice for Vlissingen.

"We were welcomed with open arms in Zeeland."

During the construction of the offshore wind farms, the location in Vlissingen served as a coordination centre. The construction, transport of technicians and all other logistics were managed in Vlissingen, as well as the maintenance. The location is a sustainable building full of solar panels that generates more electricity than it uses. There are also jetties for up to four maintenance vessels.

"Building and maintaining good relationships is essential for the successful completion of projects"

Benefit from Collaborative Partnerships and Economic Opportunities

Steven Engels, former director of Ørsted Netherlands: "Ørsted is building the Borssele 1+2 offshore wind farm off the coast of Zeeland. We believe that cooperation in and with the region is extremely important. Building and maintaining good relationships is essential for the successful completion of projects.

In each region in which we become active, we are committed to good cooperation with the local community, so that they benefit as well. We were welcomed with open arms in Zeeland. That was very pleasant and was an additional reason to establish our maintenance site for Borssele 1+2 in Vlissingen. We look forward to remaining active in Zeeland for decades to come.

The maintenance of Borssele 1+2 alone will create 100 to 200 jobs directly and indirectly over the next 30 years. In Vlissingen, 50-100 colleagues will start working on Borssele 1+2."
