Simulating offshore wind supply chain from port to installation

Aberdeen based Logistics, Materials and Operations Management specialists ASCO partnered with Haskoning and Scottish Enterprise to carry out a pioneering simulation project to map the offshore wind supply chain from port operations to on-site installation. The goal was to provide wind developers, ports, and investors with clear, actionable insights to make informed planning decisions and unlock Scotland’s offshore wind potential.

At a glance

• Built a decade-long simulation model of Scotland’s offshore wind logistics to expose real operational limits and future bottlenecks.
• Showed ports can share the load more effectively, reducing reliance on a single hub and guiding smarter investment.
• Gave developers, ports, and investors a clear, evidence-based framework to plan timelines, infrastructure, and risk.
