Dajin Heavy Industry explores offshore wind opportunities with AD Ports

Dajin Heavy Industry recently completed an IPO, initiating what it described as “a new growth era for the business.” It specialises in fabricating foundations and transition pieces for offshore wind turbines, and in shipping them, and recently unveiled its intention to transition from a fabricator and manufacturer of structures into an integrated offshore service provider, with its own facilities, products, vessels and ports.

The collaboration builds on a series of initiatives and partnerships announced by AD Ports Group in the renewable energy and offshore sectors, including recent agreements with Masdar, Siemens Energy and Green Parrot, as well as the acquisition of Astilleros Balencia shipyard in Spain.

The MoU reflects the shared ambition of both parties to combine complementary strengths in order to accelerate growth in the offshore wind and energy markets in Europe and other regions.

Under the framework of the MoU, the parties will explore opportunities, including transportation solutions for offshore wind components, development of pre-assembly hubs, cooperation on selected offshore wind tenders and industrial projects, and fabrication, assembly, and logistics solutions.

AD Ports Group chief commercial officer Friedrich Portner said, “We are pleased to partner with Dajin Heavy Industry to jointly work on opportunities that leverage our maritime and logistics capabilities in support of the offshore wind sector. Together, we aim to deliver more integrated, efficient solutions across the renewable energy value chain.”

Dajin Heavy Industry chief commercial officer Walid Oulmane said, “This MoU is an exciting opportunity to combine industrial strength, maritime expertise and long-term vision. We believe both companies can create meaningful value together in support of the global energy transition.”
