US-based Green Shipping Line and Norwegian/German Kongstein have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide a complete offshore wind farm supply solution in the US.
The supply solution will include consultancy services, a US Jones Act compliant shuttle service, as well as development opportunities at several US ports, the companies said.
“We are thrilled to be working with Kongstein – they are the best in the business in wind farm logistics and forward, creative thinking for complex issues,” said Percy R. Pyne IV , Chairman of Green Shipping Line (GSL).
“Together we will create a complete, viable and economic solution for United States-based wind farms. I’m excited to be a part of this new, dynamic business in the United States.”
Green Shipping Line has designs for US-built feeders which are ready for construction at Moran Iron Works in Onaway, Michigan.
Kongstein is a maritime and offshore engineering and logistics service provider.
“We are proud to provide Norwegian maritime ingenuity and German efficiency in constructing and operation of offshore wind parks to America. Our partner, Green Shipping Line, has become known as a visionary innovator in the U.S. maritime industry – they are a great match and we look forward to our joint approach,” said Thorsten Schütt , Chairman of the Board of Kongstein AS.
