In addition to its facilities in Lindø within the Port of Odense, Denmark, the Port of Wilhelmshaven, and the Port of Brake, Germany, the Antwerp setup marks the fourth facility deugro has established within a short period to provide its clients in the Global Wind & Renewable Energy (GWRE) industry with dedicated port handling and storage capacity for WTG components. The new Antwerp setup is supported by high-capacity cranes, specialized handling equipment, and extensive storage and pre-assembly areas. In addition, the port’s strategic location provides flexible onward transportation options through direct access to European road, rail, and inland waterway networks.
“With direct access to Europe’s road, rail, and inland waterway networks, the Antwerp setup offers flexible connectivity to project sites across Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond. Its location along the Rhine-Scheldt corridor further enables the use of inland barges as a sustainable transport alternative for oversized and heavy WTG components. Combined with strong multimodal hinterland connections and close proximity to key project sites, Antwerp serves as a strategic hub for the distribution of wind energy components throughout Europe,” said Wouter Gielen, Branch Manager, deugro Antwerp, Belgium.
Together with its local partners, deugro offers the full range of services, equipment, and expertise required for the handling, storage, and consolidation of WTG components, while providing maximum flexibility for subsequent road and inland waterway transportation. The company’s port handling services include port agency coordination, vessel discharge operations and supervision, terminal operations coordination, and heavy-lift cargo handling. Warehouse and storage services comprise dedicated storage management, blade and component storage planning, inventory control, condition inspections and documentation, as well as site surveys. In addition, deugro provides preparation and project logistics management for onward transportation, ensuring seamless coordination throughout the entire supply chain.
“By utilizing Antwerp as a strategic hub, our client benefits from scalable storage capacity, optimized supply chain management, and enhanced responsiveness for upcoming project deliveries,” said Maximilian Granzow, Sales and Business Development Manager—Wind Onshore Germany at deugro. “Since commencing operations, the setup has already demonstrated its capabilities. In July 2026, we successfully completed the discharge of the first vessels and the subsequent cargo handling and storage at the terminal facility,” adds Granzow.
“The Antwerp setup represents another important step in the continued expansion of deugro’s dedicated GWRE infrastructure network. As turbine dimensions increase and project schedules become more demanding, strategically located logistics hubs are becoming essential to ensuring supply chain reliability, scalability, and execution certainty for our clients. Antwerp further strengthens our ability to support the continued growth of wind energy projects across Europe with dedicated infrastructure and integrated logistics solutions,” said Peter Ehrhorn, Director Onshore Wind & Cables at deugro.
