Exhibition “Fascination Offshore Wind” in Sassnitz

The Mukran Port is one of the most important locations for the offshore industry in the Baltic Sea. The construction and operation of offshore wind farms from the Mukran site ensures long-term and secure jobs in the port, thereby creating further positive effects in the region.

(Sassnitz/Mukran) The accompanying transformation into a modern universal port makes the Mukran Port an important industrial location in Vorpommern. As part of the exhibition “Fascination Offshore Wind,” which opened today, locals and tourists can witness the development for themselves.

The “Fascination Offshore Wind” was ceremoniously opened today, Thursday, August 17, by the Mayor of Sassnitz, Leon Kräusche. Over the weekend, interested parties could gain insights into the topic of renewable energies and offshore wind at the modern event location “Altes Kühlhaus” in the Sassnitz city harbor. Companies operating in the region provided information about the various Baltic Sea wind farms around Rügen.

“Offshore wind energy brings innovation, investments, and not least long-term and secure jobs to the Rügen region. Offshore wind energy has become an important growth engine for Rügen. With the ‘Fascination Offshore Wind,’ the Mukran Port offers a platform for exchange between locals, tourists, and the companies that are important for the region.

Strengthening Acceptance of Offshore Wind Energy in the Population

The public exhibition represented an important opportunity for the offshore industry to present itself to the public, educate about its work, and thus create increased acceptance of offshore wind energy among the population,” summarizes Harm Sievers, Managing Director of Mukran Ports, the event.
