Associated British Ports (ABP) is pleased to announce its participation as a Gold Sponsor at the Offshore Wind Connections 2025 (OWC2025) conference and exhibition, taking place on April 30th – May 1st at the Doubletree by Hilton, Hull.
Celebrating its twelfth year, OWC2025 has established itself as one of the premier events in the UK offshore wind industry.
With over three decades of experience in serving the UK's offshore energy sector, ABP has continually evolved its offerings, developing cutting-edge facilities and tailored services to address every facet of offshore wind development, maintenance, and operation.
Our ports have installed over 500 turbines and provide support to over 7GW of offshore wind – over half of the UK total. As a testament to its commitment, ABP has invested over £300 million in collaboration with its partners to foster the expansion of offshore wind capabilities. Most recently that includes the £35m Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility port expansion and additional capacity at Hull as part of our partnership with Siemens Energy. Looking to the future, ABP has ambitious plans to invest significantly more in future developments serving both fixed bottom and floating wind projects across England, Wales and Scotland.
Andy Reay, Head of Offshore Wind at ABP, said “It’s great to participate in OWC2025 as a Gold Sponsor. This event provides an invaluable platform for industry leaders to collaborate, share insights, and chart the course for the future of offshore wind.
“ABP remains committed to not just maintaining but growing our leadership in driving UK port sector sustainable growth and innovation. We look forward to engaging with developers, supply chain players and other sector stakeholders at this great event. The goal for us all is to deliver not just a decarbonised energy system but the UK jobs and prosperity that should accompany it."
Stephen Rimmer, Project Development Lead, will join the Spotlight on the Humber panel to look at developments and plans for the region. Members of ABP's Commercial Team will be available at stand 18 throughout the conference to provide further information and insights into ABP's offerings and contributions to the offshore wind sector.
