Overview
- GE Vernova named Maraen Port of Nigg in the Scottish Highlands as the marshalling hub for turbine components for the Dogger Bank B and C phases.
- The port will store and prepare Haliade‑X components for loading onto installation vessels bound for the North Sea site, a setup that shortens sea trips and reduces weather risk.
- After marshalling from Able Seaton for Dogger Bank A and early B, GE Vernova will continue installation from Nigg as A is complete and the first B turbines are already in place.
- Dogger Bank is a 3.6 GW offshore wind project built in three 1.2 GW phases by a joint venture of SSE, Equinor, and Vårgrønn.
- Nigg’s deep‑water quays, large laydown areas, and heavy ground loading matched the project’s needs, building on four prior wind campaigns since 2018 and new investment from Mitsui in 2025.
