The Princess Elisabeth Island is the world's first artificial energy island, an offshore infrastructure project in the Belgian North Sea. It serves as a high-voltage electricity hub to collect and transmit renewable energy from surrounding offshore wind farms to the mainland.

It’s getting closer… 🚢✨
Soon we’ll welcome the Oostende, the first of our new mine countermeasure vessels.

Belgium and the Netherlands will each receive six of these state-of-the-art ships, designed to keep sea lanes open and safe for global trade. 🌍

📸 Spotted in August. ⚓

The Oostende marks a new era in mine countermeasures: smarter systems, safer operations, and stronger cooperation with our allies.
Stay tuned as we prepare for her arrival! 🚢🇧🇪
