Offshore Wind

The Port of Salem is uniquely positioned to support the development, operation, and maintenance of offshore wind farms. It is one of only three Designated Port Areas north of Boston, has a controlling depth of 32 feet (Federal Channel), and has no height or width restrictions between the harbor and the Atlantic. The City is actively working in partnership with Crowley and Avangrid  Renewables to develop the Port of Salem into a world class offshore wind construction staging facility.

For additional information regarding the development of the Port of Salem for offshore wind, please visit the project webpage at salemoffshorewind.com or contact Port Authority Deputy/Planner, Seth Lattrell, at SLattrell@salem.com
