GE Vernova Selects Port of Nigg in UK as Component Consolidation Hub for Dogger Bank Wind Farm

en.Wedoany.com Reported - GE Vernova has announced that the Port of Nigg in Maraen, Scotland, will serve as the consolidation hub for wind turbine components during the construction of Phases B and C of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm. GE Vernova is the turbine supplier for this project.

The port will store and prepare Haliade-X offshore wind turbine components, which workers will subsequently load onto installation vessels for transport to the Dogger Bank site in the North Sea.

The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is currently being developed in three 1.2GW phases, with a total installed capacity set to reach 3.6GW. The project is a joint venture involving SSE (40%), Equinor (40%), and Vårgrønn (20%).

The selection of the Port of Nigg in Maraen reflects the port's experience in managing offshore wind logistics, having supported four offshore wind projects since 2018. During this period, the facility has contributed to the deployment of nearly 4GW of offshore wind capacity in the UK. The port offers deep-water quays, ample laydown space, and heavy-duty ground loading infrastructure, meeting the requirements of large-scale offshore wind projects.

In 2025, Mitsui & Co. and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines acquired the Port of Nigg in Maraen, with Maraen currently operating the site. Maraen CEO Yoshihiro Hayakawa stated: "We are delighted to support GE Vernova and the Dogger Bank Wind Farm project at the Port of Nigg in Maraen." He added: "The Port of Nigg continues to play a vital role in supporting the UK's offshore renewable energy supply chain and broader energy transition goals, and we look forward to collaborating with all project partners as the project progresses."

The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is located between 130km and 190km off the northeast coast of England. Once operational, the wind farm is expected to power approximately six million homes annually. Each turbine can power up to 16,000 UK homes and offset emissions equivalent to the annual output of 9,000 cars.
