3.6.6. Port Terminal Costs

Port expenditures are generally port-specific, varying greatly with the type of contract and duration, leased storage area, the size of the vessels, and need for ancillary equipment such as cranes. However, according to the literature, total port expenditures amount on average to about 0.5% of the total costs of offshore wind projects [65]. The port terminal costs were thus included by adding an extra 0.5% to the total operation costs.
