Swedish construction company Skanska has been awarded a contract for the upgrade of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Brooklyn, New York,

The project, which has an estimated value equivalent to US$612 million, will transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into one of the largest dedicated offshore wind ports in the United States.

Once completed, the facility will primarily support operations at the Equinor-operated Empire Wind development 24 to 48 kilometres off of the coast of New York.

The award will facilitate the demolition of existing buildings, dredging of new and existing berths, bulkhead upgrades, and installation of new wharf and dock facilities. It will also include infrastructure improvements, new heavy lift crane pads, and the construction of an offshore wind staging area, as well as the construction of a new operations and maintenance building.

Preconstruction began in January 2023 and construction activities covered by this contract award will extend into 2026.
