Crowley’s plans for offshore wind complex at California’s Humboldt Bay
On October 27th Crowley Wind Services signed an agreement with the Port of Humboldt Bay to exclusively negotiate to be the developer and operator of a terminal to serve as California’s first hub for offshore wind energy installations.If an agreement is reached, Crowley will be the exclusive developer/operator of the wind terminal at Humboldt Bay.In an interview with the American Journal of Transportation, Jeff Andreini, Crowley Wind Services’s Vice President, described the future terminal, saying “heavy lift ships will be used for the construction of the terminals.
