Heinemann Solutions opens new location in Sassnitz

Heinemann Solutions GmbH has officially opened its new location at Mukran Port in Sassnitz. From March 2025, the modern training hall "Im Fährhafen 1" will offer practice-oriented safety training in accordance with the standards of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO). These include "Working at Heights" (Basic & Refresher), "Advanced Rescue Training", "Fire Awareness" (Basic & Refresher), "Manual Handling" and "Enhanced First Aid" (Basic & Refresher).

With over 15 years of experience in the field of practical safety training, Heinemann Solutions is expanding its offering specifically for the offshore and onshore wind industry in the Baltic Sea region with the opening of the location in Sassnitz. "Mukran Port is a central hub, especially for the offshore wind industry in the Baltic Sea region. Our presence enables companies to optimally prepare their employees on site for the challenges of offshore work - and then deploy them directly," explains Holger Heinemann, Managing Director of Heinemann Solutions.

The new training hall was specially designed for realistic scenarios and rescue exercises. Customised scaffolding and an original hub of a wind turbine provide practical training conditions. The equipment is complemented by safety-relevant rescue equipment and industry-specific tools.

The expansion of the hall began in spring 2024, with the final construction measures completed in autumn and the furnishings of the training hall finalised. In December, the new location was certified as part of the regular GWO recertification of Heinemann Solutions. With training standards that go beyond the requirements of GWO, DGUV and VDE, the company sets standards for safe working in the wind industry.

In addition to the GWO training courses, the company is planning a targeted expansion of the training programme in Sassnitz. In future, crane operator licences and electrotechnical training courses will also be offered on site. Heinemann Solutions is thus strengthening its portfolio specifically for the wind and maritime industry with increased safety requirements. In addition to the headquarters in Elsfleth, where Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) and Sea Survival Training are also carried out, Heinemann Solutions also offers mobile training courses directly at the customer's premises. In 2024, over 1,000 training courses were held and around 6,000 certificates were issued. With the expansion to Sassnitz and the increasing demand for highly qualified safety training, these figures are set to grow further in 2025.

"With Heinemann Solutions, Mukran Port is gaining another company that promotes the positive development of the location and expands the service portfolio in a targeted manner," emphasises Leon Kräusche, Mayor and representative of the main shareholder of Mukran Port Stadt Sassnitz.

Heinemann Solutions will also increasingly offer its established range of services relating to personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools in the region. The portfolio has already included the maintenance, repair, hire and management of PPE as well as rescue and survival equipment for several years. The company operates a service station at its headquarters in Elsfleth and is also represented at the Emden airfield. With the presence in Sassnitz, customers now benefit from shorter distances, faster availability of equipment and closer on-site support.

"Mukran Port is the gateway to the offshore world in the Baltic Sea - we are a central supply and service point for the offshore industry. Heinemann Solutions adds another important building block to this profile. Practical safety training is essential for the offshore wind industry, shipbuilding and the shipyard industry. This establishment once again emphasises the importance of the port for the offshore industry and the maritime economy in Germany," says Claudia Martens, Head of Business & Energy at Mukran Port.
