Sweden-based construction giant Skanska has been awarded a $861 million contract to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a major offshore wind hub. The company has signed the final award with SBMT Asset & LLC.

Skanska will turn the marine terminal into one of the largest dedicated offshore wind ports in the US. The company will also support Empire Wind, a proposed utility-scale offshore wind farm that is currently being developed by Equinor nearly 15 to 30 miles (24 to 48 kilometers) off New York. Preconstruction began in January 2023 and construction activities covered by this award will extend into 2026, according to Skanska.
