Gulen Industrial Port

Gulen Industrial Port is located along the Fensfjord basin, which acts as one of Norway’s main supply hubs for North Sea oil and gas operations. The area is already home to a strong cluster of subsea and oil service companies.

The site will be used for the assembly of the first commercial offshore wind project in Norway, Hywind Tampen.

Offshore wind and decommissioning projects

Local authorities, together with key industrial players, plan to develop the region into a hotspot for green and sustainable industries. The Sløvåg-based company Wergeland Group has assembled the floating wind turbines for the Hywind Tampen project. The company also has the option to be the maintenance, modification, and operation (MMO) site for Hywind Tampen.

Together with the Wergeland Group, the company ADRS Decom will also be investing in the decommissioning market. The planned facility will be state-of-the-art, with the capacity to decommission offshore installations and ships in an efficient and eco-friendly manner.

The Wergeland Group is looking into an investment in the largest crane in the region, which will service both this industry and offshore wind activities. The crane will have a 2,600 metric tonne lifting capacity and be well-suited for large projects. The crane will sit on rails so that it can serve the whole area.

Dock and facilities

The harbour includes 1,620 metres of quay space, with water depths of up to 22 metres. The site also has a 145-metre long and 105 metres wide drydock under construction with planned finalization in 2021. Tenants will also have access to shore power facilities with a power supply of 2-5 MW.

The site at Sløvåg includes large areas of zoned land, with infrastructure such as power, water and a sewer system in place. Companies will benefit from other amenities, such as goods-handling services, warehouse facilities and repair workshops. The site is also near a shopping mall with hotel facilities.
