Offshore Wind
Able Seaton Port is proud to be the Offshore Wind marshalling and construction yard for Hornsea 3, Ørsted’s 2.9GW offshore wind farm in the southern North Sea.
The project at Able Seaton Port is in progress and brings Ørsted back to the port where ABLE marshalled the foundations for Hornsea 1 in 2018.
The first Siemens Gamesa turbine components arrived at the port in July 2026. Since then, ABLE’s heavy-lift and logistics teams have carried out the lifting and movement of blades, nacelles and tower sections across the site, from the quayside into storage in preparation for load-out. Tower sections are pre-assembled on the quay.
DEME Group’s jack-up installation vessel Norse Energi has arrived at Able Seaton Port for installation offshore.
The marshalling programme began in July 2026 and continues to October 2027. Able Seaton Port has been in continuous use for offshore wind marshalling since 2017, supporting numerous Offshore Wind projects.
