Guliolopez (talk | contribs) →US wind ports: While it's probably positive that the US has "woken up" to offshore wind, it doesn't seem appropriate for this article to become a CFORK of the Offshore wind power in the United States article. Could/should this "list of ports" not be covered there? Other than as an exampled of RECENTISM, why are planned/proposed US port activities listed above ACTUAL port activities elsewhere? Where there have been ORE-servicing ports for years/decades? |

Revision as of 14:34, 28 February 2023
An offshore wind port describes several distinct types of port facilities that are used to support manufacturing, construction and operation of an offshore wind power project. Offshore wind turbine components are larger than onshore wind components. Handling of such large components requires special equipment. Transporting of components between manufacturing and assembling facilities is to be minimized. As a result, offshore wind port facilities have been specifically built in the regions with high concentration of offshore wind developments.[1] For large offshore wind farm projects, offshore wind ports become strategic hubs of the supply chain.[2]
Types
Small oceanic ports
These are small port facilities to launch survey vessels used in an early stage of an offshore wind farm development.[3]
Manufacturing ports
Large offshore wind turbine components are difficult to transport over land. Locating a manufacturing facility at a port is more desirable. Subcomponents and materials may be brought through roads or railways. After components are built, they are typically shipped to a marshaling port for the final assembly.[3]
Marshaling ports
Marshaling ports (also known as staging ports[1]) are used to collect and store wind turbine components prior to loading them on to wind turbine installation vessels.[3]
Operating and maintenance ports
Operating and maintenance ports house facilities and vessels that are required for ongoing operating and maintenance of offshore wind farms. This may include part warehouse, offices, and training facilities.[3]

Offshore wind power in the United States is a burgeoning industry.[citation needed] Several ports are building or converting facilities to handle the large components needed to build planned offshore wind farms.[4][5][6] From north to south:
- Salem Harbor (MA)[7]
- New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal (MA)[8]
- Brayton Point Commerce Center/Mount Hope Bay (MA)[9][10]
- Port of Providence (RI)[11]
- State Pier Port of New London (CT)[12][13]
- Bridgeport Harbor (CT)
- Port of Albany–Rensselaer (NY)
- South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (NY)
- Arthur Kill Terminal (NY)[7]
- Port of Paulsboro (NJ)
- New Jersey Wind Port[14]
- Port of Baltimore (MD)[8]
- Portsmouth Marine Terminal (VA)[15]
Notable ports
- Port of Esbjerg is the world's largest offshore wind port[16]
