Australia’s Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) is eyeing Australia’s fledgling offshore wind sector as it looks to diversify trade flows currently dominated by iron ore shipments.
PPA chief executive Roger Johnston said PPA was “progressing several major infrastructure projects to diversify trade” and to ensure the authority was “well positioned to meet port proponent growth aspirations”.
“We expect to see significant growth in emerging markets, particularly with growing demand to import renewable energy infrastructure, including wind turbines and blades, as well as creating new export pathways for critical minerals and rare earths,” Johnston said.
