The West Pomeranian region is emerging as a central hub in Poland’s offshore wind build-out, with the ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście developing into major installation and manufacturing bases, according to an analysis published by the Norwegian Offshore Wind cluster. The region is attracting investment in nacelle, tower and component production alongside its port infrastructure.
At the centre of this development is the Świnoujście Offshore Terminal, Poland’s first dedicated offshore wind installation port. Launched in 2025 by ORLEN Neptun, the terminal is now in full operation and booked for 70 per cent of its capacity servicing offshore wind projects in the region. The facility combines installation and marshalling port functions, enabling storage, pre-assembly and load-out.
The terminal is designed to handle 15 MW turbines and the largest installation vessels, and can support monopiles, jackets, towers, blades, nacelles and offshore substation topsides weighing up to 24,000 tonnes. “The Swinoujscie Offshore Terminal is designed to be a platform for building the offshore wind supply chain in the Baltic Sea. We see strong and growing interest from both Polish and international partners,” said Paweł Nowak, business development manager for the terminal at ORLEN Neptun.
Beyond Polish projects, the terminal is positioned to serve developments in Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Baltic states. Projects such as Ocean Winds’ BC-Wind and the PGE/Ørsted Baltica 2 are already being supported from Świnoujście, and the port is central to ORLEN’s pipeline of future farms, including Baltic East and Baltic West.
The cluster analysis points to opportunities for international suppliers in installation expertise, marine operations, supply chain integration and logistics, noting that supply chains in the region are still being formed. Norwegian Offshore Wind is organising a market visit to the region on 18–20 August 2026.
