Mukran Port, Sassnitz

Mukran Port in Sassnitz provided the necessary port infrastructure that EnBW used as the base port to support construction and logistics for the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea, around 32 km north of Rügen. According to EnBW’s project description, wind turbine components manufactured at various locations were delivered to Mukran Port, where large laydown, storage and handling capabilities enabled staging activities ahead of offshore installation. The port area was used to store steel towers, nacelles and rotor blades and to carry out pre-assembly activities several months before installation. This shore-based staging reduced offshore installation time and helped coordinate the sequencing of component deliveries with vessel availability and weather windows. By functioning as the project’s logistics hub, Mukran Port supported the transport chain from manufacturing locations to offshore installation vessels and enabled regular crew and equipment transfers from Sassnitz to the wind farm site. This role was part of the construction phase logistics concept for EnBW Baltic 2 and underpinned the overall build-out of the wind farm by providing the required port-side facilities and operational support.
