经过两年的拆除和建设，新贝德福德福斯海运码头 (NBFMT) 在马萨诸塞州开放了第一个深水泊位，以支持北美新兴的风能行业。

该泊位是项目第二阶段的一部分，专为容纳海上风电服务船而设计。已安装 300 英尺的隔墙，并进行了疏浚，以进一步改善国内和国际船只对泊位的使用。

NBFMT 总裁安德鲁·桑德斯 (Andrew Saunders) 表示，正在开发的运营和维护 (O&M) 设施的管理人员预计，一旦所有阶段完成，该码头每月将轮换多达 300 名海上工人。

为了完成深水泊位，需要从场地附近的水域疏浚超过 80,000 立方码的受污染物质。当所有疏浚阶段完成后，该码头将拥有四个大型独立泊位和一个浮动码头系统，可容纳多达 11 艘海上风电建设和运营与维护船只。

The New Bedford Foss Marine Terminal (NBFMT) has opened its first deepwater berth in Massachusetts after two years of demolition and construction to support North America’s emerging wind energy sector.

The berth is part of Phase 2 of the project and was designed specifically to accommodate offshore wind service vessels. A 300-ft bulkhead has been installed and dredging has occurred to further improve the use of the berth for both domestic and international vessels.

Administrators with the operations and maintenance (O&M) facility under development anticipate that once all phases are completed, the terminal will host a monthly rotation of up to 300 offshore workers, said Andrew Saunders, president of NBFMT.

To complete the deepwater berth, it was necessary to dredge more than 80,000 cubic yards of contaminated material from the waters just off the site. When all dredging phases are complete, the terminal will boast four large individual berths and a floating pier system that can accommodate up to eleven offshore wind construction and O&M vessels.
