Klaipėda Port Prepares for Lithuania’s Offshore Wind Ambitions

Work is underway at the Port of Klaipėda on a major project that supports Lithuania’s plans to develop offshore wind farms. In the area of the former International Ferry Terminal, quays are now being constructed.

“Klaipėda Port is moving with Lithuania’s ambitions to build offshore wind parks in the Baltic Sea. We’re preparing to become a key base for this project – setting up areas where turbine components can be assembled, handled and stored. Right now, in the southern part of the port at the former International Ferry Terminal, the constructor Tilsta is carrying out the first stage of infrastructure works – reconstructing quays,” says Algis Latakas, CEO of the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority.

Back in May 2022, the Klaipėda Port Authority and cargo handling company Klasco signed an investment agreement, launching the development of port infrastructure needed for Lithuania’s future offshore wind projects.
