Buss Terminal Eemshaven will undergo significant infrastructure upgrades following a multi-million-euro investment aimed at strengthening its position as a key logistics hub for the offshore wind sector, the company said on Tuesday.
The investment will reinforce the quay and improve the seabed at the Julianahaven, increasing the terminal’s capacity to handle multiple offshore wind projects simultaneously. The quay’s load-bearing capacity will be upgraded from 6–20 tonnes per square metre to 40 tonnes per square metre, allowing for the handling of two vessels at once. Once completed, it will be one of three heavy-duty areas in the port.
Financing for the project is being provided by a consortium including Groningen Seaports, Rabobank, the Groninger Groeifonds and regional development agency NV NOM, with additional support from the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.
“By reinforcing the quay and improving the seabed at the Julianahaven, we can continue to serve our clients in the years ahead and strengthen our competitive position,” said Marc Wegman, managing director of Buss Terminal Eemshaven.
Since 2011, the terminal has supported nearly 20 major offshore wind farms in Denmark and Germany, offering logistics, storage, and pre-assembly services for large-scale components.
The company said the investment highlights Eemshaven’s growing strategic importance in the North Sea offshore wind market and reflects strong regional cooperation in accelerating the energy transition.
