This document advertises an upcoming conference on offshore wind port strategies and logistics for larger wind projects with bigger turbines. The conference will discuss port suitability, ground and portside transport needs, whether to use a single hub port or multiple ports, and how new turbine and foundation designs will affect port infrastructure. Experts from various offshore wind companies will discuss topics like assessing port facilities, mooring conditions, supply chain planning, component handling, and long-term operations and maintenance needs. The conference aims to provide insights on meeting the logistical challenges of installing and servicing larger, more complex offshore wind projects.
