The Belgian Port of Oostende is making a play to be the main harbour for construction and service and maintenance for Dong Energy’s 700MW Borssele 1&2 wind farms in the Netherlands.
“The varied realisations from the Rebo terminal, the strategic location and easy accessibility make the Port of Oostende a reliable partner for the smooth rollout of the first two Borssele offshore wind farms in Dutch waters,” the port said.
The port added that it has been involved in building and maintaining Belgian offshore wind farms for 10 years.
Port of Oostende chief executive Paul Gerard said the port would respond to the needs of larger offshore wind projects.
