Maine Offshore Wind Supply Chain Partners
Maine’s Dynamic, Local Supply Chain
Offshore wind relies on a vast supply chain network. Maine International Trade Center (MITC) can help connect your business to the regional ecosystem so you can source components and services for projects at the local level.
Key supply chain strengths include: environmental permitting and surveying, engineering and design, project management, onshore infrastructure construction, floating offshore wind components, secondary steelwork, moorings and anchors, cable protection systems and buoyancy, synthetic lines, Crew Transfer Vessels, and other professional services.
Offshore wind in Maine is also served by local innovation and leadership across many other industries, including: advanced materials, boat building, composites, textiles, marine, and environmental. Additionally, there are many firms that have the capability to transition into the industry: software developers to support wind farm operations, mechanical and electrical inspection, maintenance, and certification companies who are able to apply existing capabilities in an offshore environment.
