Crowley Breaks Ground on Offshore Wind Terminal in Salem
State and local officials joined Crowley Wind Services president and CEO Bob Karl and other leaders recently for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Salem Offshore Wind Terminal. The project involves transforming a former oil- and coal-fired power plant into Massachusetts’ second wind port, which will expedite the construction of next-generation wind farms. The terminal is being built to support the construction of offshore wind farms in New England and future floating turbines in the Gulf of Maine.
“The Salem Wind Terminal will be a historic achievement, and we appreciate the trust and partnership by the City of Salem, Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the U.S. Maritime Administration to create a world-class wind terminal that reliably and safely serves the supply chain needs of the wind energy industry,” said Tom Crowley, chairman and CEO, Crowley Corporation.
The company will be responsible for redeveloping and operating the terminal and has signed a lease with MassCEC to use the site as an offshore wind marshalling port, with a focus on projects for Massachusetts.
