Niedersachsen Ports has joined the OWPP in February 2022
The Port of Cuxhaven has developed into a leading port for handling offshore wind turbines on the North Sea coast. In Cuxhaven, generators of offshore wind turbines are produced, shipped from here and installed at sea. The constant growth in the offshore segment is having an impact in the port’s capacities. Besides the existing berths 8, 9.3 and 9.4 already occupied by offshore projects, it was necessary to expand the port and create new capacities: Berth 4 which is particularly suitable for heavy cargo transport, as required for huge wind turbines. The planning approval procedures for the expansion of berths 5 and 7 are already in progress.
