• Our cutter suction dredger Willem van Rubroeck reached a historic peak – or should we say ultimate low? By dredging to a record depth of 41.94 meters for Eoliennes en Mer Iles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier wind farm, a French project developed by Ocean Winds (an ENGIE and EDPR joint-venture). This achievement highlights the advanced capabilities of our fleet and sets a new standard for dredging in challenging conditions. 🌊 💪

In France, we are currently working on the Offshore wind project Eoliennes en mer Îles d’Yeu et de Noirmoutier. Willem van Rubroeck was responsible for preparing the seabed to facilitate safe jack-up operations for the offshore jack-up installation vessel Vole au Vent, which will install 61 wind turbine generators off the coast of Pays de la Loire, between the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier.

• Introducing you to William Thomson, our second XL cable-laying vessel. Earlier this year, we ordered this remarkable vessel, today we reveal her name. ✨

William Thomson will be the identical twin of our previously ordered Fleeming Jenkin. Both vessels are fittingly named after renowned 19th-century scientists who are considered forerunners of the offshore cable industry.

With these two new powerhouses, we will be able to connect countries and continents over longer distances. This will enhance the use of green energy and pave the way for a global energy transition. 👉https://www.jandenul.com/news/meet-william-thomson-fleeming-jenkins-sister-vessel

• From trainee to skilled formworker in only a year: meet David. 💪👷

David, a vibrant young man from Antwerp, discovered his passion for formwork at VDAB's 2023 'Doedagen'. Fast forward ten months, after an outstanding internship, he secured a full-time position with us!

That his trajectory is inspiring is the least you can say – from learning multiple construction roles to earning his Manitou certification. His next goal? Operating a construction crane. And we are confident that will be fine too because he already showed where passion and determination can lead.

Interested in a job in construction? Please do! We're always looking for motivated, outdoor-loving team players! 🙏 👉https://jobs.jandenul.com/nl

• Exploring new horizons while staying connected to what's familiar: colleague Vincent explains why so many of our colleagues find joy in working abroad. From Colombia and Costa Rica to Argentina, and now in Panama as an Area Controller, Vincent's journey reflects a deep passion for international work. Although an overseas job seemed far-fetched during his Finance studies, he has well and truly caught the international bug.

"In my opinion, working abroad for a Belgian employer combines the best of both cultures. There is still the connection with your roots, and you find sustenance in local challenges. Living and working at the cusp of two cultures is a major added value for me", Vincent explains.

• Yesterday, we sent out an aerial work platform for a special mission! This time, it wasn't for building, but to ring three young storks in Mespelare with Natuurpunt groot Aalst. 🏗️ 🐣

By tracking their migrations, scientists can learn more about these native birds once they leave the nest. With our support, we’re helping protect local wildlife and boosting biodiversity around our site. 🌿

Happy to report that the young storks are 5-6 weeks old and thriving!

• Passing on knowledge to the next generation 🧑‍🎓 Together with RTC Limburg and RTC Oost-Vlaanderen we organized seven training days for students in technical courses in secondary and higher education. We welcomed 87 students at our construction sites in Erpe‑Mere and Lommel where they learned more about Jan De Nul and our technical expertise. In addition to our explanations, the students also got to roll up their sleeves during various exercises 💪

Investing in the future is key at Jan De Nul! We want to connect theory and practice by offering workplace learning, developing practical exercises, and promoting STEM and/or graduation projects.

• We recently went to Montevideo, Uruguay and had a chat with our colleagues Loïc and Estefany. They talked about the project they are working on: the expansion of the Terminal Cuenca del Plata. We're reclaiming 22 hectares for a second container terminal and constructing a new 730-meter-long quay wall! 🏗️⚓

• Getting to introduce your family to the great project and equipment you’re working on: who wouldn’t love that. 🤩 Our colleagues in Abu Dhabi recently organised a visit on our cable-laying vessel Isaac Newton for their family members. Both young and old could witness how such a vessel operates, and get a taste of life on board. An amazing experience for those stepping foot on a vessel for the first time, and for our colleagues who got to fully immerse their close ones in their fascinating working world.

• Today we kicked off the maritime festival ‘Oostende voor Anker’. ⚓ The maritime event that celebrates the past, present and future of the sea! More than 150 ships have set sail for Ostend. Of course, we too cannot be missing from this festival.

Come and visit us from today until Sunday in the Blue Innovation Village. 🤝 You can learn all about the latest developments and innovations in and around the North Sea.

Our colleagues will be happy to explain how we place those giant wind turbines at sea, how we protect coastlines, bring electricity ashore and how, in all this, we keep our emissions as low as possible! 🔌

• They call it "the construction site of the century" in Belgium.

And we are part of it! Together with TM ROCO we started with the construction of the canal tunnels for the Oosterweelverbinding in Antwerp this week. The Canal Tunnels will form the missing link that completes the Antwerp Ring Road, together with the junction and the Scheldt Tunnel. Thanks to a closed Ring Road, we ensure a robust traffic system that will make mobility in the Antwerp region smoother in the future.
