6. 6
• Scalability:
• Is it for Floating Offshore
Wind projects?
• Or Fixed Bottom Offshore
Wind projects?
• Both?
• Fixed bottom normally
requires 15-20ha.
• Floating normally requires
30-40ha.
• Accessibility and Proximity:
• Ideally marshalling/assembly
ports <200 km to max. 400
km. away from OSW Farm.
Criteria to consider for OSW Port Development

7. 7
• Water Depth:
• Can accommodate
installation and
maintenance vessels.
• Depth should be >13 to 15
meters. (depending on
foundations)
• Berthing Facilities:
• can support the installation
and maintenance vessels.
• Support the heavy
equipment’s load demands.
Criteria to consider for OSW Port Development

8. 8
• Support Services:
• Can accommodate project
and maintenance personnel.
• With emergency response
facilities.
• Weather and Sea Conditions:
• Port not exposed to extreme
weather conditions, waves,
and currents.
• Ensure it can safely support
offshore wind operations.
Criteria to consider for OSW Port Development

9. 9
Expansion of Port of
Rønne – Denmark
• NIRAS did the planning of the
port layout and site
investigations.
• The Danish Government
considered Port of Rønne to be
both a marshalling/assembly port
for OSW and a ferry/passenger
port.
Design matters

Taichung Port – Taiwan
• NIRAS’ primary role in the
project included provision of
the technical port knowledge
related to the desired use of the
staging areas.
Design matters

11. 11
• Proximity of ports to Offshore
wind farm sites.
• Again, Design matters
• Security Planning for multi-use
port.
• The Philippine Government plays
a pivotal role.
• Alignment of Port Development
with OSW construction schedule.
• Crucial to work closely with
developers and other
stakeholders.
• Maximise the benefits of ports
to increase social & economic
impact
Critical Points for OSW Port Development
