WIND Group is pleased to announce the signing of a long-term agreement with Smålandshamnar to establish a dedicated cable storage and offshore service yard in the Port of Oskarshamn, Sweden.

 

Expansion plans

From this new hub, WIND will expand its presence in the Baltic region and support its client base with cable transportation, storage, cable equipment supply, and a wide range of related offshore services.

With a 435-metre quay and a minimum water depth of 10.3 metres, the Port of Oskarshamn is ideally suited to accommodate all relevant vessels and facilitate efficient ship-to-ship cable transfers. Its strategic location provides excellent access to the entire Baltic region.

 

Strengthening regional capabilities

“The establishment of our new hub in Oskarshamn marks an important step in the expansion of WIND’s activities in the Baltic region,” says Tom Nooij, CEO of WIND.

“By bringing together the capabilities across the entire WIND Group, we can offer clients a comprehensive range of services, including carousel rental, logistics and marshalling, alongside equipment supply, maintenance and vessel mobilisation services through our colleagues at Draftec. This integrated approach  and our new location strengthen our ability to support offshore projects with efficient, reliable solutions.”

Niclas Strömqvist, CEO of Smålandshamnar (Port of Oskarshamn), commented: “This agreement represents much more than a new customer establishment. It is a strategic investment that strengthens Oskarshamn’s role in the rapidly growing offshore energy sector in the Baltic region. By combining WIND Group’s global expertise with the Port of Oskarshamn’s infrastructure and capabilities, we are creating a platform for future growth, new business opportunities, and long-term employment in our municipality and region.

Our ambition is clear: to continue developing Oskarshamn into one of the leading ports for offshore energy, project cargo, and critical infrastructure in Northern Europe. We see this partnership as an important milestone on that journey.”

With this latest development, the WIND Group can further support clients and partners from Oskarshamn and strengthen its position in the Baltic offshore market.
