Skanska to Develop Offshore Wind Port at SBMT
Skanska has secured an $861 million contract to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) into an offshore wind port. This project, supporting Equinor’s Empire Wind development, will establish SBMT as one of the nation’s largest dedicated offshore wind ports.
The project scope includes demolition, ground improvements, installation of utilities, upgrades to lighting and security systems, and construction of new marine facilities. SBMT will serve as the hub for Empire Wind 1, facilitating reception, storage, and pre-assembly of wind turbine components. Additionally, it will serve as the operational and maintenance hub for the wind farm, integrating power into New York’s electricity grid.
“We are proud to play a role in the transformation of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which will transition a historic feature of Brooklyn’s waterfront into an industry-leading offshore wind port,” said Richard Kennedy, EVP, President, and CEO for Skanska in the U.S.
