⌛ 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐲... 8 October 1953

Every company has defining moments in its history. This was one of ours.

On this day, 73 years ago, Jac. G. van Oord purchased Esperance, the very first dredging vessel owned by the Van Oord family business.

It was a significant investment and a courageous move. At the time, owning a dredger would allow the company to take on projects independently and build its future in the dredging industry.

After an extensive rebuild and modernisation, the vessel was renamed Westerschelde and entered service in 1954.

Interestingly, Esperance means "hope" in French. A fitting name for a vessel that marked the beginning of a new chapter in our history.

Looking back today, we're grateful for the vision and entrepreneurial spirit that helped lay the foundations for the company we are now.

Protecting the Netherlands from rising water levels while enhancing nature

Yesterday marked the official start of the implementation phase of the IJsselmeerdijk Reinforcement project, a milestone in strengthening flood resilience in the Netherlands.

As part of Combinatie IJsselmeerdijk, together with Boskalis Nederland, we are proud to support Waterschap Zuiderzeeland in reinforcing more than 17 kilometres of d**e between Lelystad and the Ketelbrug.

What makes this project unique is its innovative and nature-inclusive approach. Around 12 kilometres of the d**e will be reinforced with a wave-attenuating foreshore - a sustainable solution that enhances flood protection while creating new opportunities for biodiversity and nature development. The remaining sections will be strengthened through traditional d**e reinforcement measures.

With construction now underway, starting with the foreshore, we are applying our expertise in marine ingenuity to deliver a nature-inclusive flood protection solution that safeguards communities and enhances the surrounding ecosystem.

As part of the Dutch Hoogwaterbeschermingsprogramma (HWBP), this project contributes to the nationwide efforts to keep the Netherlands flood-safe for generations to come.

We look forward to working closely with our project partners to bring this landmark project to life.

Baltica 2 monopile installation campaign completed safely and on schedule

Van Oord has successfully completed the transport, installation and scour protection of all 111 monopile installations for the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm in Poland.

Delivered safely and on schedule, this milestone concludes one of the most demanding offshore construction campaigns in the Baltic Sea. Working closely with Ørsted and Grupa PGE our teams and specialist vessels Svanen and Aeolus installed some of the largest monopile foundations currently used in offshore wind, helping to keep the project on track.

Once operational, the 1.5 GW Baltica 2 offshore wind farm will generate enough renewable electricity to power around 2.5 million Polish households, supporting Poland's energy security and energy transition.

Building on our involvement in the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, Baltica 2 further strengthens Van Oord's presence in Poland and reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the growth of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea region.

We are proud of the dedication, expertise, and collaboration that made this achievement possible.

In 2025, our LNG-powered trailing suction hopper dredgers Vox Ariane, Vox Apolonia and Vox Alexia executed a coordinated operation in the Gulf of Gdańsk.

The three sister vessels worked side by side across the T5 Terminal, the FSRU Terminal and coastal protection projects, demonstrating the versatility and scale of Van Oord's dredging capabilities.

Together, they supported port expansion, energy infrastructure and climate resilience in Poland, further strengthening Van Oord's presence in the region and our ability to create value for local communities, trade and the energy transition.

Together with our subsidiary Mackley and in partnership with Brighton & Hove City Council, we have successfully completed the first beach nourishment pump as part of the Brighton Marina to River Adur Coastal Scheme – Phase 2.

This milestone marks the beginning of a significant phase of the UK project. Our trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Apolonia successfully delivered the first load of shingle to strengthen the beach profile and help reduce coastal flood risk for Brighton and the surrounding areas.

The works will safeguard local communities and infrastructure from the impacts of coastal erosion and flooding. We are proud to be delivering this vital climate-resilience project.

On board the Calypso, Master Ivo de Heij sees the energy transition from a global perspective.

Having spent 25 years at Van Oord and worked across dredging and offshore projects worldwide, he has witnessed remarkable advances in technology. But the challenge he sees today is not building the solutions, it is aligning behind them.

For Ivo, the energy transition will only succeed when the urgency to reduce our ecological footprint is matched by collective action across borders. While many of the solutions are already in place, progress will remain limited if countries, industries, and societies continue to move at different speeds.

What do you think is the biggest barrier to accelerating the energy transition: technology, policy, or global commitment?

A major milestone for the future accessibility of the Port of Rotterdam

With the successful completion of the first phase of the Yangtze Canal widening project, the Port of Rotterdam is taking another important step towards accommodating growing vessel traffic and larger container ships.

As part of the contractor consortium with Hakkers and De Klerk Werkendam, Van Oord is proud to play a key role in both phases of this strategic project. Our expertise in dredging and construction of sustainable maritime infrastructure is shaping safer and more efficient access to Maasvlakte 2 while supporting the future growth of the port.

The first phase of the project is complete, delivering a new tugboat quay with 12 berths and shore power facilities. Together with our partners, we are already executing phase two which consists of the construction of 1,450 metres of quay wall, 20 new inland shipping berths, and the widening of the navigation channel to accommodate the next generation of container vessels.

As a longstanding partner of the Port of Rotterdam, Van Oord continues to support the development of its maritime infrastructure, helping ensure the port remains ready for the increasing scale and demands of global shipping.
