Tadek Ocean Engineering is incredibly proud to have supported Doggerland Offshore in the groundbreaking North Sea Farm 1 project, initiated by North Sea Farmers! 🚀 We contributed our expertise in risk assessment, procedural method statements, and operational storyboarding to this visionary endeavour.

This pioneering commercial seaweed farm within the HKZ wind farm is a true game-changer for sustainable aquaculture and carbon capture. đŸŒŠđŸŒ± We’re thrilled to have played a part in this innovative journey towards a greener future!

This autumn, the world’s first commercial-scale seaweed farm will open within the wind farm ‘Hollandse Kust Zuid’ (HKZ), located about 18 kilometers off the coast of Scheveningen in the North Sea.

North Sea Farm 1, initiated by North Sea Farmers with funding from Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund, is a floating farm located between wind turbines where seaweed cultivation can be tested and improved. Scientific research will also be conducted on site into the potential of seaweed farms to capture carbon.

By locating the farm in previously empty space between turbines, the project is able to expand seaweed cultivation in the otherwise heavily used North Sea. There is more than enough space in the current and future planned wind farms in the North Sea to scale up production to 1 million tons of fresh seaweed per year by 2040. This is expected to contribute to the capture and avoidance of millions of tons of CO2.

On behalf of the project consortium with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), Deltares, Silvestrum Climate Associates, Simply Blue Group, Van Oord and marine contractor Doggerland Offshore we would like to extend our thanks to Amazon and in particular Roeland D., Dirk van den Bogaart, Laura Huff and Steve Kellett in making this project possible. We would also like to thank Vattenfall‘s Willemijn van Meurs, Sharon Van Hemert, Iris Menger and Martin ter Braak for their support in obtaining the co-use permit.
