New terminal planned for offshore wind activities

The Port of Rotterdam Authority is planning to develop a 45-hectare site in the north-western corner of the Maasvlakte for offshore wind activities.

The terminal will offer opportunities for storage, transport, (pre-)assembly, and delivery of components for both wind turbines and foundations. [It] will have direct nautical access to the sea and will be equipped with heavy-duty quays and high-quality logistics facilities...

…The terminal is expected to be operational in mid-2029.

The Port Authority will equip the 45-hectare site with 835 metres of quay where the latest generation of offshore wind installation vessels can moor. This quay will be suitable for jack-up vessels and pre-assembly activities on the quay, among other things. A roll-on/roll-off facility is also planned so that the terminal can facilitate all modes of transport. In addition to focusing on the construction of offshore wind farms, the terminal will also be equipped for the decommissioning of offshore wind farms.

With this project, the Port of Rotterdam Authority aims to provide the offshore wind industry with the necessary capacity and stimulate growth in the sector… …More wind farms will be built in the North Sea in the coming years. The required port capacity at the right specifications is currently a limiting factor. With the completion of the terminal, the Port Authority is providing the large-scale, high-quality infrastructure that the market demands…
