Haventus was born out of the vital need for port space to support large-scale deployment of offshore wind.
The first Haventus energy transition facility is currently under development at Ardersier Port. When completed, it will transform Scotland’s largest brownfield port into a world-class facility for the deployment and servicing of offshore wind installations.
Ardersier Port boasts a prime location on the Moray Firth. It represents an operational model that Haventus will seek to replicate across the world, to help enable a greener, net zero future globally.
