Norway aims to become a leading nation in offshore wind, targeting the allocation of areas for 30 GW of offshore wind production on the Norwegian continental shelf by 2040. A major investment in offshore wind along the Norwegian coast could create new jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Terje Aasland, emphasizes the need for close collaboration with the offshore wind industry and other maritime users to achieve these goals.

The Fjord Base Group has ambitions to become a key provider of services for offshore wind development in the North Sea. We aim to play a role in storage, assembly of floaters, and turbine integration.

Ancala Partners’ majority stake in the Fjord Base Group provides us with the financial strength to further develop within the green transition, especially in the offshore wind sector.

At Fjord Base, we have been engaged in logistics and industrial development since 1985 and are among the best in our fields. We conduct around 75,000 lifting operations annually. Florø’s strategic location, with proximity to an airport and daily flights to Bergen and Oslo, enhances our logistical advantages. Fjord Base has nine quays, accommodating over 2,000 ship calls and 5,000 trailers each year, making us an excellent choice for new, green industries.

The Fjord Base Group is actively preparing areas at the base for offshore wind activities. We plan to have 1–2 operational quays at Naustholmen by 2027, with 100 decares of associated backland. This will enable us to handle various assignments, including interim storage, demonstration projects, and other large-scale projects.

By 2030, we aim to deliver full-scale production of up to 500 MW, with an ambition to expand to an additional 500 MW by 2035.
