EMS Maritime Offshore is to provide MHI Vestas with port and logistics services in Emden starting this month for work at the 450MW Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
MHI Vestas will use the base for one year for commissioning the project’s 56 MHI V164-8MW turbines.
Following commissioning, which is expected to be completed next year, MHI Vestas will use the facilities at Port Knock on the river Em as a service base for the wind farm.
EMO operates the terminal providing services including loading, warehousing, terminal logistics and berth management.
MHI Vestas commissioning project manager Stephan Kremers said: “EMO convinced us with their flexibility and availability of locations around the river Ems delta, but in particular with the high independence of the location, first class services 24/7, as well as the versatility of Port Knock.”
