At least three Scottish ports need to be transformed into industrial hubs as soon as possible to enable the required roll-out of floating offshore wind - that’s the key message from a new report today.
The Floating Wind Offshore Wind Taskforce is recommending a £4bn investment to get ports ready for mass floating wind deployment by the end of this decade.
Its report essay that ideally a minimum of three to five ports will be needed in Scotland to install turbines onto their floating bases. Another two ports may be needed to service the Celtic Sea sector.
