The action is part of protests by the fisherman against the wind farm.
Aeolus started installation of pin piles for the jacket foundations on 3 May.
The Maritime Prefecture and Atlant Command-in-Chief posted photos and information on the protests on its Twitter feed.
The fishermen claim the wind farm will damage the marine environment, in particular scallops, and the fishing industry.
Installation of pin piles is scheduled for 2021 and 2022, with the jackets to be installed next year. Tags

SEOUL A pioneering project to generate electricity from South Korea s first floating wind farm in 2026 has finally passed a preliminary feasibility study conducted by a national think tank, almost three years after a state company moved first by installing equipment to measure wind energy at a useless offshore gas platform.
Korea National Oil Corp. (KNOC), which operates oil and gas fields, welcomed the green light from the Korea Development Institute (KDI) as a significant starting point for South Korea s energy transformation. This is a significant starting point for great transformation from the era of carbon energy to clean energy, An Bum-hee, who heads KN
Dredger Maas makes debut in Tilbury May 6, 2021, posted by Zlatan Hrvacevic
New hybrid, water-injection dredger Maas has launched a programme of work on the Thames with a visit to the Port of Tilbury (POTL) on 27 April.
Built for Van Oord by Kooiman Marine Group, Maas uses an innovative hybrid energy management system to reduce harmful CO2 emissions, by capturing residual heat in batteries to propel diesel-electric engines.
The vessel also features heave compensation and dynamic positioning technology. This enhances its efficiency, by allowing operations to be pre-programmed in greater detail in advance.
Its other innovative features include the ability to instantly switch between water injection modes from the bridge. The dredger is also equipped with a multi-beam echosounder, enabling online updates of the dredged seabed.
Lloyd’s Register has awarded Blauwwind’s 731MW Borssele 3 & 4 offshore wind farm off the Dutch coast with certification enabling the facility to start operations.
Lloyd’s Register undertook certification activities, as well as incorporating the work of other parties in its evaluation, before issuing the project certificate to Blauwwind.
This was in compliance with the requirements of Water Decree Article 6.16g of Rijkswaterstaat Zee en Delta of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, Section Inspection and Law Enforcement at Rijkswaterstaat (RWS), which allowed Blauwwind the permit to move from construction to operation.
The Blauwwind consortium, comprising Partners Group, Shell, Eneco, Diamond Generation Europe (DGE) and Van Oord, has developed the wind farm 22 km off the Dutch coast, which features 77 wind turbines on monopile foundations.
