Contract awarded for construction of offshore wind terminal in port of Cuxhaven

Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts) has awarded a contract for the construction of an offshore wind terminal in the Port of Cuxhaven in Germany. 

Operated by Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts), the expanded offshore wind terminal will consist of three (5-7) berths and 1,250 meters of quay wall for heavy loads, as well as a storage area of 38 hectares. As part of a consortium, which includes leading German civil marine construction companies Depenbrock and TAGU, DEME will carry out the dredging and land reclamation works, with a total volume of more than 3 million m³ expected to be reclaimed. Two trailing suction hopper dredgers, a backhoe dredger, and several barges will be deployed. The project will start in early 2025 and is expected to take 3.5 years. 

Upon completion, the terminal will support the North Sea region’s energy transition and the German government’s wind energy expansion goals.
