Port improvement projects are essential to accommodate the expanding renewable energy sector while maintaining regular functions and supporting other maritime sectors like oil and gas and fishing.
The opportunities for the ports and harbour sector are immense, and investment is already underway. Navigating these challenges and opportunities to deliver a successful and efficient energy transition requires expert opinion - This Is What We Do.
To unlock the full economic potential of the UK offshore renewables supply chain, ports and harbours face having to make strategic investment decisions in a time of great economic uncertainty.
While strategic investments can create jobs and help ports diversify port services, informed decisions on direction of growth have to be made under tight timelines.
Xodus Advisory specialises in driving economic growth and innovation in the ports and market sector through market assessments & growth projections, techno-economic assessments & financial models, business case development & due diligence, and fundraising support with techno-economic expertise.
Demand for facilities and space to support renewable energy construction, operation and maintenance campaigns is high and ports and their clients are having to consider a growing range of development options. Due to the competing demands and the pipeline of projects, ports are making decisions regarding expansion and market entry options now, while projects may struggle to identify which ports are best suited for their needs in the future.
From offshore wind developers to component manufacturers and port operators themselves, Xodus can help projects decide who their ideal port partner is.
Xodus port capacity and supply chain assessments start by getting to know your project needs and the challenges you are facing. We draw upon our internal ports database and network of relationships with port operators to identify the key facilities for your project.Â
With the increasing demand for deeper berths, stronger infrastructure and larger port and harbour laydown areas to facilitate the renewable energy lifecycle needs, navigating the complexities of the required permits and environmental assessments can be challenging.

Whether you need a standalone dredging licence application, an Environmental Impact Assessment or advice on novel applications like inshore anchorage of wind turbines, we are ready to deliver a bespoke project support. Our Xperts support clients to de-risk their development plans and produce high quality assessment that meet the regulator’s requirements.
