Port Alliance
The Alliance of Major Offshore Wind Ports of Europe
The Port Alliance is a collaboration of the leading offshore seaports to reach the set offshore wind strategy goal of the EU by 2030 and 2050.
About us
Strong Cooperation for a Sustainable Future
Port Alliance is the strong cooperation of Europe’s leading ports. Through close collaboration, we aim to tackle the challenges of modern maritime transport. Currently, ports in Germany, Belgium, England, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Poland are part of the Port Alliance. Our goals are clearly defined: the cooperation aims to implement political initiatives and promote sustainable solutions in the field of offshore wind energy.
We believe that only close partnership and cooperation among ports can be the key to success, especially in times of global challenges. The Port Alliance is committed to sustainable practices, invests in environmentally friendly technologies, and shares knowledge on best practices to ensure the environmentally friendly development of future maritime transport.

Knowledge Exchange for Better Port Infrastructure
The Port Alliance actively promotes the exchange of best practices to continuously improve the efficiency and sustainability of port operations in Europe. Representatives of the ports meet regularly to share their experiences and insights through direct exchange and learn from each other.
Our goal is to develop optimal processes and the best solutions in the field of port infrastructure. From current challenges such as the shortage of space in European ports to the use of digital tools – such as digital twins – to strengthening Europe’s energy independence through innovative approaches: with our regular knowledge transfer and cooperative, friendly collaboration, we are laying the foundation for the ports of the future!

Our goal
Ambitious Goals for Europe's Energy Future
The Port Alliance has set ambitious goals. By 2030, we plan to install at least 60 GW of offshore wind power, and by 2050, this number should reach 340 GW. These ambitious targets require significant investments in port infrastructure to address the capacity challenges exacerbated by the growing demand for renewable energy.
We understand that only with support from both politics and industry can the adaptation and expansion of infrastructure for the energy transition be achieved. Therefore, our cooperation calls for clearly defined political goals and strategies to secure the long-term development and competitiveness of our ports. By integrating environmentally friendly practices and expanding the use of renewable energy, we aim to ensure the sustainability of our ports.
We focus on diversifying energy supply and significantly reducing dependence on authoritarian states. Through our close, Europe-wide collaboration, we seek to find innovative solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow, making port locations more attractive to new talent. Our alliance is ready to actively participate in implementing the necessary measures and thus make a significant contribution to the positive development of the European economy.
