Fjord Base in Florø is strategically located for offshore wind projects along the Norwegian coast and in the North Sea. With extensive project areas, established quays, logistics expertise and a broad industrial environment, we can support both floating and fixed-bottom offshore wind projects across several parts of the value chain. Our infrastructure, areas and services can be adapted to the requirements and delivery model of each project.

Our capabilities include:

• Project areas and temporary storage of turbine components, floating structures and other project equipment
• Receiving, storing and handling cables and mooring systems
• Quayside, lifting and logistics services
• Mobilisation, demobilisation and coordination of marine operations
• Warehousing, workshop, prefabrication and technical services
• Facilitation of floating structure assembly and turbine integration
• Access to an established industrial cluster of experienced suppliers and skilled personnel

Fjord Base provides efficient logistics solutions for onshore wind developments. We can manage the logistics process from receiving and unloading wind turbine components from vessels to temporary storage, preparation and onward transportation by vessel or truck. Parts of the outfitting and preparatory work can also be carried out at Fjord Base before the components are transported to the project site.

We have experience from the Guleslettene and Hennøystranda wind projects, involving deliveries for a total of 59 wind turbines, each rated at 4.2 MW. Our scope was delivered within the agreed budget and schedule, with no recorded non-conformities.

Our services include:

• Receiving and unloading wind turbine components from vessels
• Temporary storage of blades, tower sections, nacelles, hubs and other components
• Loading and transshipment for onward transportation by vessel or truck
• Coordination of transportation, suppliers and project logistics
• Preparation and partial outfitting of components
• Access to project areas, warehouses, workshops and technical services
• Lifting operations and handling of large and complex components

Fjord Base is set to become a key hub for ammonia bunkering as a marine fuel. The investment decision for a permanent bunkering facility has been made, and the project will be one of the first facilities of its kind worldwide.

Azane Fuel Solutions has entered into a framework agreement with Equinor for the supply of ammonia. The first deliveries are planned for the second half of 2026 to the offshore supply vessel Viking Energy. During the initial phase, ammonia will be bunkered directly from truck to ship until the permanent facility at Fjord Base has been completed.

The Ammonia Fuel Bunkering Network is being developed in partnership between Azane Fuel Solutions, HyEx Safety, GOT, Hub for Ocean, Fjord Base and SINTEF Energy. The facility has received the required approval from the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB).

HyFuel was established by Fjord Base Group and SFE in 2019 to develop green hydrogen production at Fjord Base. The company is currently owned by HYDS, SFE and Fjord Base Group. The facility will make green fuel more readily available for maritime transport while supporting new jobs and green industrial development in Florø. Its location at Fjord Base will also enable oxygen and surplus heat from the hydrogen production process to be utilised by other businesses, including land-based aquaculture.

• Production facility with 20 MW of electrolysis capacity
• NOK 180 million in funding from Enova
• Risk assessments and the application to the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) are in progress, with groundworks scheduled to begin in November 2026
• First delivery of electrolysers planned for July 2027, with production scheduled to start in December 2027

The Hydrogen Centre of Vocational Excellence (H2CoVE) is a European collaborative project designed to develop the skills needed for the hydrogen industry. The project develops courses and vocational education programmes while facilitating knowledge sharing between industry and educational institutions. Fjord Base Group is a project partner, contributing expertise in logistics, infrastructure and the development of hydrogen-related industries at Fjord Base.
