South Brooklyn Marine Terminal will serve as the O&M hub for Empire Wind 1 and will be the site of the project’s onshore substation. Being a low-emissions facility with solar power and EV charging stations installed onsite, SBMT will provide onshore power and charging for the Empire Wind service operations vessel (SOV) , the first plug-in hybrid vessel for the US offshore wind industry.
According to Equinor, the 73-acre terminal will transform into one of the nation’s largest dedicated port facilities for offshore wind in the US and will support not only Empire Wind but also the East Coast’s growing offshore wind industry.
