The Port of Rotterdam Authority is planning the development of a 45-hectare site in the north-western part of Maasvlakte to support offshore wind activities.

This new terminal will serve various needs, including storage, transport, pre-assembly, and delivery of wind turbine and foundation components. Featuring direct maritime access and high-quality logistics facilities, the terminal will be equipped to handle demanding operations.

The terminal is expected to start operations by mid-2029 and will include a 835-metre quay that will accommodate the latest offshore wind installation vessels. This quay will be ideal for jack-up vessels and pre-assembly work. A roll-on/roll-off facility will also be installed to handle multiple transport modes.

In addition to supporting the construction of offshore wind farms, the terminal will also be capable of assisting with the decommissioning of offshore wind farms.

Through this initiative, the Port Authority aims to provide the offshore wind industry with essential infrastructure while helping to promote growth in the sector. As more offshore wind farms are developed in the North Sea, there is a growing need for specialized port capacity. The new terminal will help meet this demand and provide the necessary infrastructure for future projects.
