AD Ports Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dajin Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., an offshore wind equipment manufacturer, to explore potential collaboration across offshore wind supply chains, maritime logistics, port infrastructure, and vessel investment opportunities.
The agreement outlines a framework for assessing long-term cooperation in support of offshore wind and broader energy infrastructure development across Europe and other international markets.
The MoU is part of AD Ports Group’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the renewable energy and offshore sectors.
The Group has recently announced multiple initiatives in this space, including agreements with Masdar, Siemens Energy, and Green Parrot, as well as the acquisition of Balenciaga Astilleros Shipyard in Spain, a facility specializing in offshore wind construction.
These developments are aimed at strengthening the Group’s capabilities across offshore energy logistics, engineering support, and maritime services.
Areas of potential cooperation
Under the framework agreement, both companies will evaluate opportunities across several areas, including transport solutions for offshore wind components, development of pre-assembly and staging hubs, participation in offshore wind tenders and industrial projects, and integrated logistics and fabrication services for offshore energy infrastructure.
The collaboration also includes the possibility of joint development of supply chain solutions to support offshore wind project execution.
Friedrich Portner, Chief Commercial Officer, Maritime & Shipping Cluster at AD Ports Group, said that, “We are pleased to partner with Dajin Heavy Industry to jointly work on opportunities that leverage our maritime and logistics capabilities in support of the offshore wind sector, a strategic growth area for us. Together, we aim to deliver more integrated, efficient solutions across the renewable energy value chain.”
Walid Oulmane, Chief Commercial Officer—New Products at Dajin Heavy Industry, remarked that, “This MoU represents an exciting opportunity to combine industrial strength, maritime expertise, and long-term strategic vision. We believe both companies can create meaningful value together in support of the global energy transition.”
The offshore wind sector continues to expand globally, supported by decarbonization policies, rising renewable energy investments, and increasing deployment of offshore wind capacity in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets.
Market projections indicate growth from approximately $109 billion in 2026 to around $307.5 billion by 2035, reflecting the sector’s expanding role in global energy infrastructure development.
