GE Vernova has announced that Scotland’s Maraen Port of Nigg will serve as the marshalling hub for wind turbine components during the construction of phases B and C of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm.
GE Vernova is the project’s turbine supplier.
The port will store and prepare Haliade-X offshore wind turbine components before workers load them onto installation vessels for transport to the Dogger Bank site in the North Sea.
The Dogger Bank Wind Farm, now under development in three 1.2GW phases, will have a total installed capacity of 3.6GW.
The project is a joint venture involving SSE (40%), Equinor (40%) and Vårgrønn (20%).
The selection of Maraen Port of Nigg reflects the port’s experience in managing offshore wind logistics, having supported four offshore wind campaigns since 2018.
During that period, the facility has contributed to the deployment of nearly 4GW of UK offshore wind capacity.
The port offers deep-water quays, ample laydown space, and heavy ground loading infrastructure, which meets the requirements for large-scale offshore wind projects.
In 2025, Mitsui & Co. and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines acquired Maraen Port of Nigg, with Maraen currently operating the site.
Maraen CEO Yoshihiro Hayakawa said: “We are delighted to support GE Vernova and the Dogger Bank Wind Farm project at Maraen Port of Nigg.
“The Port of Nigg continues to play an important role in supporting the UK’s offshore renewables supply chain and wider energy transition ambitions, and we look forward to working collaboratively with all project partners as the campaign progresses.”
The Dogger Bank Wind Farm is located between 130km and 190km off the north east coast of England.
When operational, the wind farm is expected to supply electricity to approximately six million homes annually.
Each individual turbine will have the capacity to power up to 16,000 British households and offset emissions equivalent to those produced by 9,000 vehicles in a year.
