The Boston & New England Maritime Trades Council, AFL-CIO, will provide skilled workers to WMJV to build the project.
WMJV will install the offshore wind turbines with a fleet of vessels including the R.D. MacDonald, the first special purpose offshore wind installation vessel built in the US.
Cape Wind president Jim Gordon said, "This project will combine the best of American maritime suppliers, engineers and constructors with the most experienced European technology providers to ensure America’s first offshore wind farm performs to world class standards."
"Achieving this objective will help catalyze a new industry that will deliver an inexhaustible clean energy resource and thousands of new jobs for our region and country," Gordon added.
Cape Wind will consist of 130 Siemens 3.6MW offshore wind turbines.
WMJV is a partnership between Weeks Marine of New Jersey, and Manson Construction of Washington.
