At the National Wind Energy Event at De Kuip in Rotterdam on 17 April, members of the Rotterdam Offshore Wind Coalition agreed to resume their collaboration. The companies in the coalition partner in marketing and branding, education and training, policy and lobbying, and acquisition and innovation.
The coalition began in 2016 and for the past three years it has been supporting offshore wind-related projects and innovations, energy transition lobbying, knowledge sharing and strengthening the labour market.

Namely, the Rotterdam companies aim to contribute greatly in offshore wind energy, in terms of construction, operation and maintenance, as well as regarding services like training, education, finances and insurance.
The coalition will continue to work during the coming period to leverage the opportunities for offshore wind and Rotterdam’s ideal situation to position the economic cluster as ‘Rotterdam Offshore Wind Coalition’.
The possibilities for testing and demonstrating offshore wind technologies in and around the port area and the forthcoming development of offshore wind farms near the port, provide all the necessary ingredients to further expand Rotterdam’s position. Concrete projects currently being undertaken include the development of composite towers, new pile-driving technologies and the expansion of physical space for marshalling activities
