The port of Hvide Sande is constantly evolving. Since the port expansion with addition of new piers and construction of the new West-Harbor, Hvide Sande is today an exciting alternative for new business areas. With its close location halfway between future wind farms the port offers lots of advantages for the offshore industry. This applies both to the planned wind farms - Horns Rev 3 and the near shore turbines at Vesterhav Syd, as well as the designated offshore wind farms, just off the coast of Hvide Sande. The short distances means significantly less sailing time each day. This means savings in hourly wages, fuel consumption and better comfort for the crew. It also opens the possibility of half service-days, for example, in changing weather conditions. The Hvide Sande Service Group is an association of 34 companies, several of them with extensive experience in the offshore industry. For example, the Hvide Sande Shipyard has built five crew boats, that sail to the wind farms Horns Rev 2 and Anholt. Already today a range of offshore vessels use Hvide Sande as a service port. And with the Hvide Sande Service Group the Harbor can offer a single-point-of-contact  year-round around-the-clock service. The effluent water from the Ringkøbing Fjord ensures that the port is always ice-free and can be visited by crew boats at any time, even in severe winters. Hvide Sande's new West Harbor has already been the base of operations for different tasks associated with the feasibility-studies for the future wind farms Horns Rev 3 and Vesterhav Syd. The port enjoys considerable local support from the city and local politicians. Because of this, the access roads to the port were also expanded as part of the harbor expansion, so that e.g. wind turbine blades with lengths of 80 meters can be transported to Hvide Sande by land. The West Harbor has a water depth of up to 7 meters, with reinforced quays, secured ISPS facilities and a large storage area with a total of 200,000 square meters right at the harbor. A study abated with energy companies and wind turbine operators, shows that the port of Hvide Sande offers two areas that completely match all relevant requirements for service and O & M activities related to the new wind farms.. Hvide Sande Harbor is working on pinpointing an area of the harbor, which could be used to establish a private airfield - approved for offshore flights. Safety is always a top priority for the Port of Hvide Sande and the Hvide Sande Service Group. The Hvide Sande area is visited by thousands of tourists every year, therefore accommodation for employees who work offshore in periods will not be a problem.
