The Port of Esbjerg will in future say no to offshore wind turbine projects going to the USA, due to fears that goods could be stranded at the port. The background is Donald Trump's tariffs and his opposition to wind energy, which creates uncertainty for the projects. The port will instead focus on supporting the green transition in Europe, especially in Germany, where there is a lack of port capacity. This is reported by Børsen.
- If wind turbine goods are coming that are going to the USA, we will say: No, thank you. You can find another port for that, says Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO of the Port of Esbjerg.
According to Dennis Jul Pedersen, the opt-out will not harm the business, as the demand for port areas is high. Up to 2030, 13.5 GW of offshore wind turbines are to be shipped from the Port of Esbjerg. In 2023, the port reached its highest ever turnover of 258.4 million DKK, and a new loan agreement of 856 million DKK from the European Investment Bank will ensure continued growth and capacity expansion.
