What They Do

Van Oord specializes in marine contracts with a strong focus on offshore wind, alongside dredging and offshore oil and gas infrastructure. This positions the company at the forefront of transport installation vessels (TIVs) and heavy lifting capabilities for monopiles and foundations (source: vanoord.com). Their products and services include dredging for port expansions, marine engineering for coastal protection and pipelines in shallow waters, and full EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) for offshore wind farms, including foundation installation, cable laying, and commissioning (source: youtube.com). Van Oord stands out with a fleet of specialized vessels, such as the heavy installation vessel Svanen, which installs monopiles in challenging seabed conditions (source: magazine.vanoord.com). Their target markets include Northwest Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Bahamas, serving clients such as governments for port infrastructure and energy companies for wind farms (source: nautech.co.uk). With over 150 years of maritime expertise and a family business focused on long-term investments, Van Oord has built 35 wind farms with a total capacity of over 6 GW, representing nearly half of the global installed capacity at that time (source: henokiens.com).

Projects & Track Record

Van Oord has completed several notable projects, including the Palm Islands in Dubai, where artificial islands were created through dredging, and the second expansion of the Suez Canal (source: henokiens.com). The Gemini offshore wind farm, benefiting the Eemshaven region in the Netherlands, and the East Anglia Wind Farm, which boosted employment in Zeeland, are also significant projects (source: magazine.vanoord.com). Another remarkable project is the expansion of the Port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan, which was completed six months ahead of schedule and within budget (source: nautech.co.uk). The Arkona offshore wind project involved the monopile installations of Svanen in unpredictable seabed conditions, highlighting Van Oord's technical expertise (source: magazine.vanoord.com).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, Van Oord has secured three new offshore wind contracts in the Netherlands, strengthening its market leadership (source: vanoord.com). The company announced its largest investment in history for the dual-fuel vessel Boreas, which is methanol-capable and supports sustainable operations (source: vanoord.com). Key milestones include celebrating its 155th anniversary, the global first deployment of the Coral Engine in the Bahamas for eco-friendly infrastructure, and maintaining EPC leadership in emerging offshore wind markets (source: vanoord.com).

Working at Van Oord

Van Oord offers a wide range of positions, including marine engineering, dredging operations, and offshore wind construction, with hundreds of engineers deployed on the fleet (source: youtube.com). The recruitment process takes place at the headquarters in Gorinchem, the Rotterdam operations, and project locations in the Netherlands, Taiwan, and Europe, as evidenced by active offshore wind contracts (source: vanoord.com). The company culture emphasizes a 'founder's mentality' with values such as creating innovative solutions, caring for people and the environment, collaboration, and success, fostering entrepreneurship and long-term responsibility (source: magazine.vanoord.com). While specific benefits are not detailed in the sources, global projects stimulate employment and economic activity in regions such as Zeeland and Eemshaven (source: nautech.co.uk).
