The LEANWIND consortium is happy to invite you to the first Stakeholders Showcase event "Cost efficient offshore wind logistics - The role of ports in a lean supply chain for offshore wind".

The event will take place in Hotel Andromeda, Oostende, Belgium and will showcase how ports can contribute to optimising the supply chain for an offshore wind farm. Notably, it will present project work to improve on-land and port logistics as well as innovative turbine and foundation installation strategies.

A boat tour of the port installation, training and O&M facilities (14:40 - 16:30) will allow the participants to get a little taste of the functioning of an offshore wind park and concretely evaluate the added vale it can bring to harbour authorities and the local communities.

Participants arriving the night before are also invited to a drinks reception (18:00 - 19:00, Hotel Andromeda - C-Bar Piano Lounge) and a dinner (19:00 - End, Ostend Queen, Kursaal Weshelling 12 - 8400 Ostend).

More details on the event agenda.

Kindly note that participation is free of charge.

We would appreciate it if you could register for logistical purposes.
