en.Wedoany.com Reported - ORLEN Neptun has signed a letter of intent with the Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports Authority to expand the Świnoujście Offshore Terminal.

Janusz Bil, CEO of ORLEN Neptun, stated: "The expansion of the Świnoujście Offshore Terminal is a response to the anticipated infrastructure demand in the context of planned Baltic offshore wind projects. This terminal is one of the key logistics hubs for offshore wind projects in this region of the Baltic Sea." It was revealed that the expansion plan includes the construction of approximately 530 meters of new quay wall and 26 hectares of storage and assembly areas.

The Świnoujście Offshore Terminal is currently equipped with two heavy-duty quay walls, totaling 500 meters in length, with a load-bearing capacity of 50 tons per square meter. It can handle turbine projects of approximately 15MW and larger capacities, including substation components weighing nearly 3,000 tons. The terminal already serves international offshore wind projects in the Baltic Sea, and this expansion aims to prepare for the growth of offshore wind activities in the coming years.

The project will strengthen Poland's position as an installation hub in the Baltic Sea and support the development of local content and domestic supply chain capabilities. Poland plans to achieve 5.9 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 18 GW by 2040. Further progress will depend on commercial analysis results and project financing capabilities.
