An investment of over GBP 30 million (around $40 million) in new facilities that will support offshore wind construction at the Port of Nigg in Scotland has received final approval by Maraen, a new integrated energy infrastructure brand launched by Mitsui & Co. Europe and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), which acquired Port of Nigg, Global Energy (Group) and Global Energy Services in 2025.The investment will fund the development of a new heavy-duty quay and roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) capability at the Scottish port.The final investment decision (FID) covers the construction of a 16,000-square-meter quay at the Eastern Inner Dock, designed to enhance logistics capacity for both inbound and outbound operations. Backed by a GBP 10 million (around $13 million) grant from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the project forms part of the Scottish Government’s broader commitment to invest up to GBP 500 million (around $662 million) in the offshore wind supply chain over five years.Construction is expected to begin shortly, with planning consent and a marine licence already secured.Maraen said the investment would significantly expand the Port of Nigg’s operational capabilities, enabling it to support larger and more complex offshore wind, oil and gas, and nuclear energy projects. The new infrastructure is also expected to attract additional clients and stimulate supply chain activity, contributing to regional job creation.
“Bringing our capabilities together under one brand strengthens our position as an integrated energy infrastructure solutions provider, allowing us to deliver at a greater scale and invest with confidence in long-term growth for our customers, communities and wider stakeholders”, said Yoshihiro Hayakawa, CEO & Managing Director of Maraen.
