Finnish Port Set for Offshore Wind Overhaul

Euroports Group and Noatun project companies, jointly held by OX2 and Ålandsbanken Offshore Wind I, have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish Koverhar Harbour in Hanko as a key logistics hub for the construction of the offshore wind farm project Noatun North, including an option for Noatun South.

The collaboration marks a significant step in strengthening Finland’s offshore wind infrastructure and securing essential port capacity to support the industry’s expansion.

The Noatun North Project is expected to comprise of up to 250 turbines with a total capacity of up to 4,000 MW.

The use of Koverhar Harbour for this project is planned to start in 2030, requiring a significant port capacity to accommodate the storage, assembly, and transport of key wind turbine components.

Unlike a greenfield development, Koverhar Harbour already possesses the fundamental infrastructure needed for the offshore wind logistics.

With limited adaptations and targeted investments, it can be quickly optimized to serve the industry, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution.

The LoI outlines a framework for evaluating storage, assembly and logistical needs.
