Crowley has completed the purchase of 42 acres in Salem, Massachusetts, USA for the development of an offshore wind port terminal. The Salem Harbor Wind Terminal is a public-private partnership between Crowley and the City of Salem, with Avangrid serving as the port’s anchor tenant through its Commonwealth Wind and Park City Wind projects.The terminal will be a logistics and operations center for turbine pre-assembly, transportation, staging activities and storage of assembly components. Crowley Wind Services will operate the terminal. The terminal site project will result in the redevelopment of the former Salem Harbor Station, a decommissioned coal-fired energy plant. Construction of the wind terminal is expected to start in summer 2023, with the terminal complete in 2025.
