A major Dutch port has received a multi-million-pound investment to overhaul its offshore wind offering.
Quay reinforcements and seabed improvements will place Buss Terminal Eemshaven ahead in the roll-out of commercial-scale renewable energy projects in the North Sea and beyond, bosses have said following the announcement.
While the exact number was not revealed, as many as five investors contributed to expanding the terminal’s capacity by more than half – going from 6 to 20 tons per square metre to 40 – making Eemshaven one of the first ports in the region with this capability.
The investment will also enable Buss to handle two vessels simultaneously, creating one of three heavy-duty areas in the port.
Marc Wegman, managing director of Buss Terminal Eemshaven, said: “We see that offshore wind components are becoming larger and heavier, as are the vessels and equipment needed to handle them.
“By reinforcing the quay and improving the seabed at the Julianahaven, we can continue to serve our clients in the years ahead and strengthen our competitive position.
“Together, we’re building the infrastructure for a sustainable future in offshore wind.”
Since 2011, Buss Terminal Eemshaven has served as a logistics, storage and pre-assembly base for nearly 20 large offshore wind farms across the North Sea, including some of the biggest in Denmark and Germany.
