The Port of Hanko and the Euroports Group have signed a letter of intent to establish a hub for the offshore wind energy supply chain at Koverhar Harbour.

Petteri Sammalisto, Commercial Director of Euroports Finland, underscored:

The letter of intent with the Port of Hanko enables us to expand our business in renewable energy. By creating a unique wind hub here, we're not just addressing the immediate needs of the wind energy sector; we're fostering a sustainable ecosystem that will serve the Baltic region and beyond.

Anders Ahlvik, CEO of the Port of Hanko, added:

A partnership of this magnitude with Euroports underlines our dedication to renewable energy and environmental stewardship. The Port of Hanko, and especially Koverhar, is a perfect harbour for the assembly and storage of wind turbine components.

The parties underlined that 600 hectares of the Koverhar Harbour are available for future industrial  development, of which 90 ha are dedicated to direct port activities.

Euroports Finland highlighted in this regard:

The initiative is looking beyond the logistical challenges. It aspires to cultivate an entire green ecosystem within its considerable back-land area. Euroports' deep, long-standing experience as a terminal operator, associated with a strong track record in both the onshore and offshore wind industry, allows our teams to handle the full value chain, including freight forwarding through our subsidiary Manuport Logistics.
