About: Offshore WIND International Business Guide 2014 is a publication of Navingo BV, a multi media maritime company based in the Netherlands. The title Offshore WIND is a combination of printed magazine, news website, International Business Guide and organiser of events unique to the international

offshore wind energy industry.

INTRODUCTION Dear reader, This is the third Offshore WIND International Business Guide, IBG´14, and again we can say it is better and has more company presentations than the previous editions. We have taken care to ensure that the quality reflects the longevity that is intended for this publication.

The first readers to browse through the pages of presentations will be the subscribers to our magazine, Offshore WIND, who will receive their copy in the post, early in 2014, but throughout the whole year we will be taking it to every major offshore wind event and conference in Northern Europe, and many more, further afield. Later this year Hamburg Messe will present the first WindEnergy Hamburg event and in October the Offshore WIND publisher, Navingo BV, will host the 7th Offshore Energy Exhibition and Conference in Amsterdam. This year when many major decisions will be made concerning the projects of the near future, the IBG´14 will still be as fresh and relevant for these and the other events in the last quarter of 2014 as it is in January. We have once again asked various national wind power organisations to give an update of their individual current status and prognosis of future plans. These give an indication that the pipeline remains strong… but still just a pipeline!

The company presentations cover the whole width of the industry, from companies concerned with the financing of related projects through to construction and installation related companies and finally to companies offering services in O&M. In years to come, no doubt, we will be including companies offering decommissioning services… not yet, though! The companies profiled here in print also have a presentation online under the BUSINESS GUIDE tab on our news website www.offshoreWIND.biz. Here you can find more information, maps, photograph galleries and video streams relating to the companies throughout 2014. Finally a big ‘thank you’ to the contributing companies and organisations and to the readers for your help making this publication a success. Sabine Lankhorst

AWEA American Wind Energy Association The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is the national trade association representing a broad range of entities with a common interest in encouraging the deployment and expansion of wind energy resources in the United States. AWEA has 1,300 members and advocates, including wind turbine manufacturers, component suppliers, project developers, project owners and operators, financiers, researchers, renewable energy supporters, utilities, marketers, customers, and their advocates.

The wind industry in the United States has experienced tremendous success, with over 13,000 megawatts (MW) installed in 2012 and over 60 gigawatts (GW) of cumulative installation. As a result, wind was the number one source of new electric generating capacity in 2012, and there are currently two states where wind energy is generating more than 20% of the electricity and nine states where it is generating more than 10%.

Then in September of 2013, Dominion Virginia Power won the auction for a lease area off the coast of Virginia.

At times, wind energy has reliably provided more than 60% of the electricity on the main utility system in Colorado, and 35% on the main grid in Texas. Furthermore, at least 74 U.S. utilities bought or owned wind power in 2012, up 50% from 2011. Finally, there are 559 manufacturing facilities spread across 44 states and domestic content in newly installed turbines is almost 70%.

Significant investment in research and development The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has made a significant investment in Research and Development (R&D) in order to lower the levelised cost of energy and accelerate permitting timelines for offshore wind energy projects.

This success has all come from developing land-based wind resources. However, the United States also has a vast offshore wind resource which has the potential to supply large amounts of clean power to coastal states, create thousands of jobs and significantly enhance the U.S. wind energy industry’s supply chain. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) report, 20% Wind Energy by 2030, found that offshore wind capacity could provide 54GW of the 300GW needed to deliver 20% of the United States’ electricity from wind energy by 2030, and state and federal processes for developing this offshore wind resource are well underway.

Milestones achieved Several offshore wind projects are in the advanced stages of development and many important milestones have been achieved. On the regulatory side, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and its Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) have made significant progress, including holding the first competitive lease auction in July of 2013, in which Deepwater Wind was selected as the winner for two offshore wind energy sites located in federal waters off the coast of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. An analysis of these two lease areas found that they have the potential for a total installed capacity of 3,395 megawatts.

Furthermore, the U.S.’s first offshore wind turbine, VolturnUS, was deployed by the University of Maine’s DeepCwind Consortium in June of 2013. This is a 65-foot, one-eighth-scale model that utilises an innovative concrete semi-submersible foundation.

These efforts have focused on both shallow-water deployments in the Atlantic, Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico, and floating foundations for projects in deeper water, including off the coast of Maine and the West Coast. One example of DOE’s R&D investment: in order to help speed technical innovations and drive down costs, in late 2011, DOE announced the commitment of $43 million in funding for 41 projects across 20 states. These projects include teams focusing on innovations in key components, such as floating support structures and turbine rotor and control subsystems. Other teams are focusing on removing market barriers related to port and vessel requirements and transmission grid integration. Further, in December 2012, DOE announced seven winners for its Advanced Technology Demonstration Project Initiative. Awardees include projects off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as well as in the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. The goal of this program is to provide funding to verify innovative technology and help lower costs. Each awardee received up to $4 million to complete the engineering, site evaluation and planning phase of the project. Upon completion of this phase, DOE will select up to three of these projects to receive an additional $47 million in funding for the follow-on design, fabrication and deployment phases.

This is a significant investment and demonstrates a serious commitment by the U.S. government to helping to launch this industry.

Conference & Exhibition held in Providence, Rhode Island, demonstrates the building momentum in the U.S. offshore sector.

Christopher Long Manager of Offshore Wind and Siting Policy

DWIA Danish Wind Industry Association What started as a visionary experiment back in 1991 with the first offshore wind farm ever, has now become a global industry with Denmark continuing the role as a leading wind cluster for more than 20 years. With a new ambitious energy agreement, Denmark has a clear political goal of 50% wind energy in the electricity system in 2020.

Wind energy plays a crucial role in the Danish energy system, and especially offshore wind does its part to contribute, as Denmark today is the country with most wind energy per capita in the world. The focus on wind will continue in the coming years following 2012’s political energy agreement which stated that 1,500MW is to be built offshore by 2020. The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is positioned right in the middle of this development, representing more than 280 Danish companies from all corners of the industry. The Danish supply chain includes market leading manufacturers as well as installation, transport, service, consulting and energy companies that all have impressive reference lists. The combination of ideal offshore sites and a very favorable geographical position in the North Sea has made Denmark market leader and knowledge hub of the offshore wind sector. Today, almost 9 out of 10 of the world’s installed offshore turbines are made by a Danish manufacturer. Small country, big action In September 2013 the 400MW Anholt offshore wind farm was inaugurated, and as Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm it generates enough power to cover the annual electricity consumption of 400,000 households. With the grid connection of Anholt, the Danish offshore capacity reached almost 1.3GW. This places Denmark on a global second place.

Following the Danish energy agreement two new large scale offshore wind farms are scheduled to be built by 2020: The 600MW Kriegers Flak wind farm in the Baltic Sea (which will be the first to power two countries – Denmark and Germany) and the 400MW Horns Rev 3 in the North Sea. Both are expected to be put into operation in 20172020 and the tenders are open from the end of 2013 to the end of this year. An additional 500MW are being developed as nearshore turbines between 4-20km from shore, enabling neighboring citizens and businesses to buy into the projects, thus ensuring a continuation of the Danish

tradition of local ownership. Also the near-shore projects are based on tenders and in charge, acting as a ‘one stop shop’, is the Danish Energy Agency. The concept of ‘one stop shop’ means that all questions and issues relating to the tenders of both the large scale wind farms and the near-shore projects are handled in one place. This also relates to grid connection, which helps to lower the risk and complexity associated with investing in the projects. Cost of energy down The wind industry has come a long way since that first offshore wind farm in 1991. Cost-wise onshore wind energy is already a competitive alternative to fossil fuels, but the offshore turbines still have some way to go. Therefore, the main challenge of the industry is to bring down the cost of energy in order to increase the value of wind. The Danish companies play a key role in driving down the cost. In 2010, the Danish wind industry and the research community addressed this challenge in a strategy from the strategic partnership ‘Megavind’. The strategy stated goal of a 50% cost reduction for offshore wind in 2020 compared to 2010. This year, the strategy will be followed up by an analysis mapping the status and if the industry is in fact on the right track. Furthermore, in 2013 ‘Offshore Wind Denmark’ was inaugurated in the pursuit of cost reductions, better branding and increased offshore competitiveness. The project is focusing on supporting the Danish offshore wind cluster both nationally and internationally. Both initiatives are expected to increase the value of wind energy which will in turn help to reach the Danish goal of becoming 100% independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Jan Hylleberg CEO

EWPA Estonian Wind Power Association Estonia, situated in the heart of the windy Baltic Sea Region, does not have any offshore wind parks yet but according to the Basrec-wind study the northernmost Baltic state has close to 1,500MW potential capacity in golden sites where offshore wind could successfully be harnessed to generate electricity. These so called golden sites were based on an initial evaluation of the three primary cost drivers for offshore wind deployment (wind speed, water depth and distance from shore) together with exclusion of the environmentally protected areas. Legal framework The Water Act is the main legislation that regulates offshore wind farm planning in Estonia, including the use and protection of water, and relations between landowners and water users. A building permission to build and a permit for the special use of water is required to operate an offshore wind farm in Estonia. Also, the owner of an offshore wind farm must pay an annual charge for using a site in an area of public water. This is enacted by the Electricity Market Act. National need There are two national documents that can be considered as pointers for investors when it comes to offshore wind energy development in Estonia. The Development Plan of the Estonian Electricity Sector adopted three years ago foresees 500MW offshore wind energy installed by the end of 2018. However, the more current National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) predicts that offshore wind need only generate 250MW by 2020 to reach the EU 2020 target for Estonia. The action plan also notes that installing offshore wind farms in Estonia may prove to be more economically favourable than in other EU regions. This makes investment in wind power development in Estonia interesting for those countries that would have difficulty meeting the objectives arising from the Renewable Energy Directive. Therefore, Estonia is currently actively exploring EU cooperation mechanisms and possible partners.

At the same time the Estonian Government recently initiated Marine Spatial Planning in pilot sea areas that border with Pärnu and Hiiu County. These areas overlap with the zones of Estonia’s two offshore wind farm projects – Gulf of Riga and Hiiumaa - belonging to Estonia’s two biggest wind energy operators. Three projects undergoing The state owned utility Eesti Energia, plans to erect wind turbines in the region of the Gulf of Riga with a total capacity up to 700MW. They have made feasibility studies

and are currently considering areas south and southwest of Kihnu island – the largest island in the Gulf of Riga. The biggest wind energy producer in the Baltic States Nelja Energia is running the Hiiumaa offshore wind farm project where approximately 200 turbines with a total capacity also up to 700MW are planned to the shoals north, north-west and west of Hiiumaa – Estonia’s second biggest island. There is also 190MW offshore wind energy project on the Neugrund Reef off the north-western coast of Estonia that is developed by Neugrund OÜ. All three offshore projects are in different stages of environmental studies. Role of the national industry As mentioned, Estonia has great potential in developing offshore wind power but this small country is interested in taking it one step further. Already today the majority of wind generators manufactured globally by ABB is made in Estonia. The Estonian Wind Power Cluster that operates under the Estonian Wind Power Association has looked into several ways how other companies could also take part in the rapidly and innovatively evolving wind power industry. Considering Estonia’s existing know-how and experience, it appears that offshore wind energy will offer the best opportunities. Estonia has a long history in shipbuilding and is known for its excellent metalworking skills and so it is no surprise that shipyards are today also adapting to serve the offshore wind industry. Take for example BLRT group that manufactures various structures and special mounts for both on- and off-shore wind farms. They also build catamaran support, and jack up crane vessels, both extremely appropriate for this dynamic industry. Tuuliki Kasonen General Manager

FEE projections until 2030 are ambitious but realistic with a target of 15GW of fixed offshore wind power and 6GW of floating offshore wind power by 2030. Within the context of a reduction of nuclear share down to 50% from 75% in the French energy mix by 2025, wind energy can play quite a significant part. France can capitalise on its three maritime facades to expand fixed and floating offshore wind turbines.

France Energie Eolienne, the promotion of Wind Power in France Founded in 1996, the French Wind Energy Association (France Energie Eolienne - FEE) is a network of almost 160 members involved in the French Wind Industry. FEE supports wind power development in France. It advocates for a suitable legal framework to be put in place, and voices the rights and interests of its members. To this end, FEE represents the industry before public, national, European and regional authorities and regulating bodies. FEE also promotes the benefits of wind energy to the public and the media. The information and positions on policy are made in collaboration with the association members. Commissions and specific working groups composed of professionals focus on the following topics: Legal framework, Industry, Economics, Grid connection, Project planning and development, Offshore, Public relations, Industry, Operation. It informs its members of any interesting developments in the industry, provides the positions of the industry in the law and regulation making process, interacts with government members and their cabinets, members of Parliament, civil servants and journalists, organises events for its members and the public and generally supports wind energy development.

FEE also works to create and strengthen links between the various French and foreign partners in the wind power industry. The Offshore Committee and its specific Working Groups (Regulatory and Administrative Framework, Offshore Sector Development, Deep Offshore) aims at supporting the development and construction of the first offshore wind farms, and details positions for an appropriate industrial, economic and regulatory development of the fixed and floating offshore farms’ projects in France. The Committee brings together professionals of the sector every two months (manufacturers, equipment suppliers, developers, lawyers, financiers).

The great potential of Offshore Wind in France France is ranked 2nd in Europe regarding the offshore wind potential, just behind the United Kingdom. In 2009, the objective was enacted of 6GW of offshore wind power by 2020. There is so far no offshore wind farm operating in French waters. However, 4 projects, selected by a first tender, are under development for a total capacity of 2GW. The second round (Le Tréport, Noirmoutier/Iles d’Yeu– 1GW) was launched in March 2013 and 2 bids were received on 29 November 2013. The successful bids will be announced on 29 March 2014. Following a consultation in the first half of 2014 by the Ministry of Ecology on potentials for fixed offshore and for commercial development of floating wind technologies, a third round is expected by the end of 2014, as announced by the Government. These tenders represent a huge opportunity for France. It also has one of the strongest industries considering its industrial know-how and historical experience especially in electrical, aerospace and automotive components, steel, maritime and oil & gas works, and shipyards located on the Atlantic coast, which are now positioned to manufacture steel foundations. France also has important assets regarding its port capacities and dimensions (Dunkerque, Cherbourg, Rouen/le Havre, Brest, Nantes Saint-Nazaire and Bordeaux), which are well adapted for the assembly and the storage of wind turbines and for further activities in operation and maintenance. France, given its position can also be an important stakeholder for the equipment of offshore wind farms in the UK, which has announced high objectives.

Industry timeline for the development of offshore wind energy in France

FWPA Finnish Wind Power Association The wind power development in Finland has been relatively slow and the installed capacity was still a modest 288MW by the end of 2012. Thanks to an effective feed-in-tariff system, the wind power development has continued booming in 2013 though. By the end of October 2013 the pipeline had reached 11,000MW. Installed capacity increased in 2013 by more than 150MW and a further 150MW at least is due in 2014.

Currently Finland has got very little offshore wind power online, but the pipeline includes 3,000MW worth of offshore projects. The current feed-in-tariff, 83.5 â&#x201A;Ź/MWh, is not sufficient for these projects, and so for demonstration offshore projects the Finnish government has designed an investment subsidy. This demonstration subsidy delivers â&#x201A;Ź20m demonstration aid in the construction phase plus the feed-in-tariff for 12 years after the wind farm is in operation. The first bidding round for the subsidy was organised in autumn 2013. It is expected that up to five projects will qualify for the second round that will be organised in autumn 2014. Projects which have been granted the subsidy are planned to be online by 2017. Even though the demonstration subsidy means that by the end of 2020 we will have only one offshore wind farm in Finland, it is still good news for Finnish wind farm developers. With the demonstration project the overall supply chain necessary for an offshore wind farm can be tested. The demonstration offshore wind farm can also be used to define the correct feed-in-tariff level for offshore projects in Finland.

The conditions where Finnish developers develop their wind farms differ from those of other countries. The Finnish waters are rather shallow; typically the wind farms are planned in areas where the water depth is between 5 and 20 meters. Also the distance between the shore and the wind farm location is relatively short, typically between few hundred meters to 20 kilometres. The main difference between the Finnish and other European offshore projects is the weather. In Finland the sea can be frozen for several months a year. This sets high requirements for the turbine foundations and towers. They should be able to resist the force of packed ice that the wind will sometimes push towards the offshore constructions. The ice can also limit the access to the turbine and make the maintenance a greater problem than for onshore turbines. All these issues can be managed with thorough planning of the project.

There are currently 11 semi-offshore wind turbines (on artificial islands), one offshore wind turbine and one offshore test foundation and a tower in Finland. The test foundation was installed in summer 2009 few hundred meters outside of Kemi and the offshore turbine in the summer of 2010, a few hundred meters offshore from Pori. The results from both of these sites have been promising: there has been no damage to the test foundation or the offshore turbine caused by ice. These results together with the demonstration subsidy for a larger offshore wind farm promised by the Finnish Government provide very encouraging news for the Finnish wind farm developers. The Finnish Wind Power Association (FWPA) is a nongovernmental organisation that promotes wind energy and increases the wind energy knowledge in Finland. FWPA is also active in the public and political discussion concerning the wind energy issues. The association has member companies from various fields of business, and includes, for example, project developers, turbine manufacturers, consultants and component or material producers. All of these companies share the same point of view concerning the wind power: it is a good and beneficial energy production method that should be promoted in Finland. Currently FWPA has got about 200 private individuals and over 160 company members. Anni Mikkonen Managing Director

German OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY FOUNDATION Germany currently has three operational offshore wind farms with a capacity of around 520MW, and new projects with an output of well over 1,000MW are set to go online this year. To date, over €10 billion has been invested in offshore wind farms off the German coast. Many other projects are ready to enter the second stage of development. But the young offshore sector continues to need viable economic conditions that allow it to plan for the long term in order to build these offshore wind farms. Only then will the sector be able to make use of the project experience it gained during the first stage of development. Extension of degression model gives offshore sector a boost In announcing plans to extend the degression model, the new German government has sent an important signal to the offshore wind energy sector and the maritime industry that it intends to continue the switch to renewables.

learning curve, that technical innovations are furthered, and that costs are reduced. To this end, companies in the sector need reliable long-term conditions as, due to their structure and their capacity of between 300 and 400MW, offshore wind farms have planning and implementation time frames comparable to those of conventional power plants.

The text of the coalition agreement now needs to quickly become legislation so that investors have legal and planning certainty for the construction of further offshore wind farms. The new government’s target of having 6.5GW of installed offshore capacity by 2020 has been adapted to the current situation, but in the long term we need a more ambitious target for expanding offshore wind energy. It is vital for Germany’s switch to renewables that offshore wind energy continues to develop dynamically after 2020. Boosting the offshore sector’s cost-reduction potential A constant and dynamic expansion process can significantly boost the offshore sector’s cost-reduction potential. The results of a study on this potential commissioned by Stiftung Offshore-Windenergie (the German offshore wind energy foundation) were presented by the authors, Prognos AG and the Fichtner Group, in late August 2013.

For the first time, the study gave detailed proof that the costs of electricity generated by offshore wind energy in Germany can be reduced by around a third to under ten eurocents per kilowatt-hour over the next ten years. For this to happen, offshore wind energy must be consistently and constantly expanded to at least 9GW by 2023. A faster expansion to 14GW would allow the sector to reduce costs by almost 40 percent. The results of this comprehensive study show that constant, continuous market development is the only way to ensure that project experience becomes part of the

Energy benefits of offshore wind power Stiftung Offshore-Windenergie also commissioned the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) to investigate the way that the energy economy will be run and what offshore wind energy may be contributing to Germany’s energy supply in the year 2050. The conclusion of the analysis was that offshore wind will ensure security of supply, system quality and affordable overall costs in the future energy system, thanks to its excellent power plant characteristics. Offshore wind turbines supply electricity almost every hour of the year, and their operating hours are comparable to those of conventional power plants. In concrete terms, this means that offshore turbines produce electricity on around 340 days of the year. In addition, it is possible to make reliable forecasts of wind supply and thus of electricity yields. This means that offshore turbines can provide operating reserves in a far better way than other fluctuating renewable energy sources, thus significantly helping to stabilise a future energy supply based on renewables. The study also shows that the use

of offshore wind energy will be significantly cheaper with regards to the total costs of the energy supply in Germany in 2050 (with renewables making up 80 percent of the energy mix) than using only a combination of onshore wind energy and photovoltaics.

Andreas Wagner Managing Director

Depending on the scenario, the use of offshore wind energy will reduce the costs of the need to make the energy supply system more flexible – and thus able to cope with fluctuations – by between €2.9 billion and €5.6 billion per year in 2050. The study by Fraunhofer IWES clearly shows that Germany will only be able to transform its energy

system by 2050 if offshore and onshore wind energy are intelligently and optimally combined with solar energy. In order to fully exploit the potential of offshore wind energy, we need a constant and ambitious expansion of production capacity over the coming years and decades. Along with its trustees and partner associations, Stiftung OffshoreWindenergie will also intensively lobby the new German government in order to achieve this.

IWEA Irish Wind Energy Association Established in 1993, the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA) is the national body representing the wind energy sector in Ireland. IWEA is committed to promoting the use of wind energy in Ireland and beyond as an economically viable and environmentally sound alternative to conventional generation and promotes awareness and understanding of wind power as the primary renewable energy resource. IWEA acts as a central point for information for over 200 members as well as a representative group to promote wind energy to key stakeholders.

Irish offshore & export potential The island of Ireland now has one of the highest rates of wind energy production per capita in the world, relative to population size, but despite having one of the world’s greatest offshore wind resources, Ireland’s offshore wind industry is still in the early stages of development. Phase one of the Arklow Bank project (25MW) is currently Ireland’s only offshore wind farm. To date, foreshore leases have been granted for the operation of the Arklow Bank project and the Codling Bank, both situated off of Ireland’s east coast. Three more offshore projects totaling 794MW were offered a grid connection in 2011 but with limited emphasis being placed on offshore wind by the Irish Government and no Irish offshore market support these projects have not been developed to date. IWEA believes that there would be an increased impetus to develop these offshore sites with the implementation of an export led offshore support framework. The British and Irish Governments signed a memorandum of understanding on renewable energy trading in February 2013. The two governments are now working to finalise an Inter-governmental agreement in early 2014 that may seek 5GW of onshore and offshore energy from Ireland in advance of 2020. IWEA believes that Ireland has the capability to develop an export led offshore industry in the coming years should such an agreement emerge.

Additional infrastructure connecting both onshore and offshore projects to the UK as part of the arrangement within the proposed inter-governmental agreement will be a transformative change to kick start the offshore industry in Ireland The second interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain, launched in October 2012, is now a key market mechanism that is playing am initial role in driving Ireland’s export opportunity. The East West interconnector with a capacity of 500MW will provide an opportunity for Ireland to export excess renewable energy to the UK. IWEA is confident that there will be further connections built to link the Irish Grid to the UK National Grid and further into Europe.

The East West interconnector and future additional interconnection brings multiple mutual benefits to both British and Irish economies. It will improve competition, increase our energy security for our growing populations, allow for system reserve sharing and provide for the opportunity to utilise Ireland’s abundance of both onshore and offshore wind within the larger UK customer base. The Irish Maritime Development Office released a report outlining that at least seven Irish ports are well positioned to service the offshore marine renewables sector. Additionally In July 2012 the Department of Agriculture outlined the real may of Ireland in their report “Our Ocean Wealth” showing that Ireland has 220 million acres under the sea. Given our significant wind resource, the negotiations underway to sign an intergovernmental agreement in early 2014, our geographical location, the possibilities of further interconnectors and the standard of our main ports, we are now in a position where our greatest asset can become our greatest export too. The future is bright for offshore wind development in Ireland. Kenneth Matthews CEO

JWPA Japan Wind Power Association In December of this year, Japan had a total offshore wind energy installed capacity of 49.6MW, including demonstration projects. All of these projects have been planned and built very close to the coast in harbour areas within a maximum of 2km from the shoreline. At the time of publication, late December 2013, further capacity is planned making the accumulative installed capacity 324MW by the end of the forecast period in 2020.

Existing state and trends of offshore wind farms in Japan Of the installed wind farm projects, one has been in operation since 2003 at Setana Port with two 0.6MW Vestas turbines, and another since 2004 at Sakata Port with five 2MW Vestas turbines. Newer wind farms in operation include Kashima Port I which went online in 2010 producing 14MW with seven 2MW Hitachi downwind turbines. The second wind farm at Kashima Port started operation in 2013 with eight 2MW Hitachi downwind turbines. These wind farms are owned by mainly private companies. Of the planned offshore wind farms the largest will be a 250MW (fifty 5MW turbines) wind project which will be the third at Kashima Port. With this 2017 project in home waters the Marubeni Corporation, as partner to Kashima Port, is now adding Japanese wind power to their offshore wind energy portfolio in Europe. The Japanese Government has provided subsidies for further demonstration projects with fixed foundations. These NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation ) projects have been carried out off Choshi on the mid-Eastern coast, and off Kitakyushu city on the South West coast of Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s island coasts. Here they are testing gravity type foundations and a hybrid gravity and jacket version in waters between 12m and 14m, 1.5km to 3km from the shoreline. The turbines used are a Japan Steel Works Ltd 2MW and a Mitsubishi 2.4MW, respectively. Observation masts are being placed at the same time.

The Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) have both initiated separate projects to test floating foundations. Both ministries have support from different organisations, institutions and corporations to assist in the test projects. The Hitachi Downwind turbine has been rebuilt in 2013 from 0.1MW to 2MW for the MOE offshore project, GOTO FOWT, off the Goto Islands at Kabashima in the Nagasaki Prefecture and has been in operation since October 2013.

A month later the METI project, FukushimaFORWARD, started operation, consisting of a floating substation with a 2MW Downwind Hitachi turbine off Fukushima Prefecture. The METI team is planning the installation of 2 Mitsubishi 7MW turbines in 2015 or 2016. The different floating foundations to be tested are a hybrid steel/concrete spar by the MOE and a spar and 2 semisubmersible configurations by the METI. As would be expected the tests for floating foundations are taking place further offshore. The MOE projects are 1km offshore while the METI projects are more distant at 20km offshore. These tests represent a strong commitment to offshore wind energy and the effort to overcome the problem of having only a narrow area of shallow water on the continental shelf surrounding Japan.

KWEIA Korea Wind Energy Industry Association It is a remarkable achievement that Samsung Heavy Industry has completed the 7MW unit at Energy Park Fife, Scotland, which is now under test operation. The wind turbine generator is the largest built in the world so far with the longest blade of 86 meters. It will be a quantum leap in the offshore wind industry and is an indication that the wind energy will play a pivotal role in the energy mix of the future. In addition a Hyundai Heavy Industry 5.5MW wind turbine generator is now under construction at Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea and will start test operation early in January 2014. These two news items show that the Korean heavy industry is becoming deeply involved in the offshore wind industry. To date Korean shipbuilders have also built five installation vessels for the offshore wind industry. However the installed offshore wind output remains unchanged at only 5MW in operation. Korea Electric Power Corporation has launched a Special Purpose Company to develop a 2.5GW offshore wind project in the Yellow sea, on the west side of the Korean peninsula near the Gunsan district. The project will be built in several phases. The first phase will be a 100MW demonstration phase including test turbines in the 3 to 7MW class from several Korean manufacturers. The second phase will see another 400MW by 2016 and the third phase will see the construction of 1,500MW by 2019. However the progress is very slow due to the various unexpected hurdles that have to be jumped. At the same time the local governments are also promoting 4GW of offshore wind development in the Chunnam district, another 2GW near the Jeju island, as well as several gigawatts in the Kyungnam province, but progress here is also slow. The Korea Southern Power Company is developing another project with twelve 7MW units (84MW) in a joint effort which is firmly being promoted by their partner Samsung Heavy Industry. Korean Enterprises have accumulated the potential track records in fabrication and as EPC contractors in the field of offshore facilities for the offshore oil and gas sector. They are now penetrating the offshore wind market including the floating wind turbine sector.

NWEA Netherlands Wind Energy Association NWEA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Netherlands Wind Energy Association (www.nwea.nl) is a non-profit making wind energy trade association for the Netherlands. As such, we initiate and support policy change to optimise wind energy deployment both onshore and offshore. Wind energy will play a leading role in powering the Netherlands in the future and we seek to take full advantage of all the benefits available in the Netherlands.

NWEA is the voice of over 400 members ranging from international businesses to small independent companies in the wind industry, operators, suppliers, utilities, developers, research institutions and other related industries and organisations. We act as a united representative and a central point of information for our members.

other Dutch stakeholders also contributed their ideas and insights to this process.

Offshore wind: status and outlook for the Netherlands The Netherlands was one of the first countries in the world to complete offshore wind farms. These 2, Egmond aan Zee and PrinsesAmaliawindpark, both off the Dutch East coast, remain the only wind farms in operation, providing a total of 228MW.

The agreement stipulates that there will be a roll out of offshore wind projects with tenders from 2015 onwards. The schedule plans for 450MW to be tendered in 2015, 600MW in 2016, 700MW in 2017, 800MW in 2018 and finally 900MW in 2019, making a total of 3,450MW of new capacity that should be connected to the grid by 2023.

The next project to be completed will be Luchterduinen situated 12 miles, also off the East coast near Noordwijk and Zandvoort. This wind farm is projected to be in operation in 2015 generating 129MW from 43 turbines. Two projects north of the Netherlands with a total output of 600MW have secured government investment support and are expected to be built within two to three years.

The conclusion is that, all in all, there are exciting times ahead in the Netherlands! NWEA will continue to discuss and assist the government to realise these ambitions, and this work throughout 2014.

In September 2012 the Netherlands elected a new government. Their manifesto included a target of 16% renewable energy in 2020, 2% higher than the agreed EU target for the Netherlands of 14%, and 1.5% higher than the target of the previous government.

In September 2013 the National Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth was finalised under the umbrella of the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER). This advisory and consultative body of employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; representatives, union representatives and independent experts aims to help create social consensus on national and international socio-economic issues. The SER advises the Dutch government and parliament on the outlines of social and economic policy and on important legislation on social and economic issues. The agreement is the result of more than six months of intense negotiations between more than forty representative organisations, including the political parties and the government, all of whom have signed the agreement. Many dozens of scientists, business people, politicians and

In it, Offshore Wind is an important contributor to reach the target of 14% renewable energy in 2020, and 16% in 2023.

PTMEW Polish Offshore Wind Energy Society Development of the offshore wind energy in Poland still remains in an early stage. This is despite significant efforts made by both the government and the first investors and developers since 2011, the year of the main breakthrough for this renewable energy sector in Poland. Unfortunately in 2013 not only the offshore wind energy, but also the complete renewable energy industry in Poland, has experienced a slow-down, mainly due to uncertainty of the future support RES scheme.

Current status and perspectives of the offshore wind farm development in Poland The officially binding offshore wind energy target, set up in the Renewable Energy Action Plan amounts to 500MW installed in the Polish maritime areas till 2020. Offshore wind energy development is an integral part of the high level plans in the relevant sections of the National Energy Policy of Poland till 2030. At the regional level the regional energy strategies include the goal of 500MW in the offshore wind, plus an even higher perspective of 1,500MW in the optimistic scenario. The above mentioned targets, together with the very optimistic signals from other countries successfully developing offshore wind sector, were the basis to develop necessary legal frameworks to enable investment in offshore wind farms in Poland. The maritime areas and maritime administration were regarded as the main bottle-neck, but this was successfully amended in mid 2011, opening the way to licencing the location permits. The new legislation enables project licensing for 30 years to be obtained, with the payment of the 1% administration fee in instalments. This lowers the risk of an unsuccessful project development. The main precondition is limitation of the available maritime areas only to the exclusive economic zone, while the 12 nautical mile area of territorial sea is excluded from the offshore wind installation projects.

As result of these legal changes, tremendous interest from developers and investors was observed since mid 2011 till early 2013, when over 70 location applications were submitted to the applicable ministry. As the licencing process was quite complex, including consultation with other 6 ministries, the first location decisions were successfully granted in the first months of 2012. Unfortunately, in the following months the licencing process slowed down significantly. This was mainly due to concerns arising from the opponents in the ministry of agriculture, referring to the fishery limitation, and the ministry of environment who discovered possible shale gas resources which could be endangered by the wind farms at sea. The ministry of

national defence also provided other objections, where some investors found their projects rejected. Despite these obstacles, by the end of 2013 nearly 30 positive location licenses were granted, with more or less the same number of the rejections. Within the positive ones however, 10 permissions expired due to lack of payment of the administration fee in amount of 1% of the project value, leaving 8 licences that have finally paid, and another dozen who are awaiting final payment. These numbers would give a relatively good impression of the perspectives for the offshore wind projects in Poland, but unfortunately this is not the entire picture. As soon as the first location decisions were granted, investors and developers attempted to make more important steps on the path of the project development. Two of these were the most crucial, namely the environmental permit and the grid connection conditions. The first one was not that difficult to make, very quickly about 12 environmental impact assessment procedures were officially opened, although to date only one investor has launched the real marine investigation following from the formal steps. The real obstacles appeared however, when investors faced the Polish transmission system operator to obtain the grid connection condition statement. Soon the entire sector learned that only the very first ones are able to obtain the favourable conditions. Actually, two first investors, Polenergia (1,2GW) and PGE (1,05GW), obtained the entire connection capacity of 2,2GW, which is assumed by TSO as being available until 2022. This soon became a serious concern of the other developers, who now may only wait with their projects for the next outlook in 2025, or negotiate with the two successful ones to use their connection capacity. Some of them try to find alternative solutions, combining their offshore wind project with energy storage ideas or with the new disposable conventional power generation. But the real troubles of the entire renewable energy sector in Poland came in the beginning of 2013, when the support scheme based on the green certificate system faced a deep structural crisis. Within 6 months, the value of the

certificates dropped down from 250 PLN/MWh to 100 PLN/ MWh. The collapse resulted from the unbalanced supply of the certificates granted for the biomass co-fireing, which was an idea to improve the statistics of renewable energy production investing the money in the conventional coal based sector. This near-sighted approach, though very lucrative for the old energy sector, ruined the real renewables, which required the structural support to invest in the new generating capacity. In reality, money which had to support new RES installation were spent for buying extra biomass, even though imported from overseas. The second half of 2013 brought even worse news. After three years of wide public consultations, the draft of the new RES Act, adopting the EU requirements concerning renewable energy sector and including quite favourable conditions for the offshore wind energy development in Poland, was finally rejected by the government. Instead of the complicated compromise, the government suddenly proposed the completely new approach based on the auction scheme, resigning completely from the green certificate system. Even, if the proposal of this new approach would be acceptable by the investors finally, it could not be proposed at a worse time. Right now, the entire RES sector will have to wait for the politicians who are working hard to convince financial institutions to sustain their support until the future is more predictable.

These last facts prove that the Polish economy may obtain an important injection, when development of the offshore wind farms in the Polish maritime areas happens in the future. With the first projects being developed, we could reach the target of 500MW by 2020, and then install up to 3GW by 2025 and 6GW by 2030, if only the politicians will see the possibilities and advantages which may be a result of the offshore wind energy development in Poland. Mariusz Witonski CEO 31

Fortunately, offshore wind energy in Poland has also its strong side. The Polish industry is more and more

engaged in the European offshore wind market, becoming an important supplier for the entire value chain of the investments in the offshore sector. Especially the Polish shipbuilding sector is celebrating the end of this year in a very good mood. Hard investments, consolidation, new projects and top quality products are the pride and hope of the entire offshore wind sector in Poland. CRIST shipyard has just constructed the heavy lift jack-up vessel VIDAR, their third ship, after THOR and INNOVATION, delivered to Hochtief. It is worth of emphasising that VIDAR was not only constructed in Poland, but also entirely designed by the Polish company STOGDA. Bilfinger, together with CRIST and MARS, has officially initiated the construction of the new factory in Poland at nearly the same time. This factory will produce support structures for the offshore wind turbines with the production due to start in 2015.

RenewableUK Over the 12 months from June 2012 to June 2013 the UK solidified its global leadership in the offshore sector, by installing 1,453 megawatts (MW) of additional capacity. This is more than in any previous 12 month period. Further important milestones were reached: the world’s biggest wind farm, London Array, went on-stream during the summer, and the number of turbines in UK waters climbed to over 1,000.

Progress on the operational side has been accompanied by a number of planning consents: the approval of the final batch of Round 2 projects, including the 1,200MW Triton Knoll wind farm, the largest wind farm ever consented. In total, there are now 5 projects in construction in the UK adding to 1,401MW and a further 7 with planning consents adding to 2,748MW. Together with the 3,653MW operational, that is an immediate pipeline of 7,802MW, expected to mature over the next few years – at which point offshore wind will be supplying around 8% of the UK’s total electricity. It also worth noting that during 2013 offshore wind developers have started submitting the first bulk of Round 3 projects into the planning system, bringing the total capacity of projects in planning to nearly 12,000MW. Given these positive developments, what does the future hold as we approach the key phase in the development of the offshore wind in the UK? Will the ambitiously conceived Electricity Market Reform (EMR) provide investor confidence in the second half of the decade? These are key questions for both the onshore and offshore sector, because the total wind energy capacity in the UK needs to go up from 10GW today to around 30GW in 2020, in order for the UK to meet its binding renewable energy targets.

In a sense, although most of the EMR package has been out for consultation, signalling the general direction of Government policy, there are still issues which the industry feels are outstanding. These are to do with auctions and allocations, protected minima for technologies which are not ready to compete on a cost basis, contract-fordifference prices and so on. RenewableUK has been supporting the industry in this extremely important phase. During last year we have been leading on the industry’s responses to key consultations and further raised the profile of the offshore wind sector through the publication of several reports, such as the 2013 editions of the ‘Project Timelines’ and ‘Building an Industry’. Furthermore we have been assisting the newly established Offshore Wind Programme Board in achieving

the cost reduction objectives identified by the Cost Reduction Task Force Report published in 2012. RenewableUK is also organising the Global Offshore Wind 2014 conference (Glasgow, 11-12 June 2014), one of the most prominent events in the offshore wind world.

The A2SEA offshore wind package A2SEA has the experience, know-how and equipment to ensure our customers get an installation package tailored to the specific needs of their offshore wind projects. Working closely with our key customers, we develop solutions that meet the demands of the market and, ultimately, help bring down the cost of clean energy.

Categories: Contractors, O&M, WTIVs

An essential link in the offshore wind value chain Before foundations, wind turbines and cables are in place, an offshore wind project demands the planning skills, process know-how and experience of qualified people who can guarantee the job gets done. Our project teams are adept at pulling together all the pieces of the installation puzzle to ensure that every project comes in safely, on time, and to budget – and we have a ten-year track record to prove it. Planning down to the smallest detail Before mobilising a single crew member, we prepare all the necessary approvals, plan the supply chain and carry out a seabed assessment to make sure it is stable enough to bear the weight of our jack-ups in action.

Once a project is underway, our jack-ups can provide full-board accommodation for all offshore personnel involved in the installation, making coordination between the various contractors easy. Optimising our processes from project to project We examine and document each of our processes in detail, always looking for ways to make improvements. From project to project, these add up to gains in time and cost that we can pass on to our customers. Because we are so familiar with the seabed conditions, wind turbine components and how long each operation takes, our risk management is both detailed and reliable.

A2SEA has two new fit for purpose built vessels arriving to the market; SEA INSTALLER and SEA CHALLENGER. SEA INSTALLER arrived in 2012 and went straight onto the Gunfleet Sands Extension with two Siemens 6MW test turbines. The sister vessel SEA CHALLENGER is due for arrival in the beginning of 2014. Furthermore, A2SEA operates and manages 11 crew vessels, among those are 4 new SWATH crew vessels.

Abeking & Rasmussen Schiffs - und Yachtwerft Aktiengesellschaft Founded in the year 1907, Abeking & Rasmussen (A&R) has developed continuously into a modern, diversified shipyard. Starting as a wooden boat builder, the still family-owned company soon entered into other sectors of the maritime market, such as design and construction of special craft. Over the following decades it developed into a highly modern, compact shipyard with sheds, making it independent of the weather, for ships of over 90m length which can be launched, or taken out of the water for repair, via a Synchrolift ship lift. To date more than 6,400 ships and yachts have been delivered. The company, whose main focus is still on ship and yacht building, delivers vessels to a critical and sophisticated clientele all over the world.

The shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen has developed a unique ship design which offers extraordinary seaworthiness and low sea response motions in the same range as vessels which are at least three times larger – the Crew Transfer Vessel in SWATH@A&R® technology.

Abeking & Rasmussen Schiffs - und Yachtwerft Aktiengesellschaft

This design has been developed out of the well proven vessels for the new pilot transfer system in the German Bight and adapted to the needs of the offshore wind energy industry.

The first of class was delivered to the German company BARD Engineering in 2010 and increased the accessibility of wind energy plants, offering safe transfer of service personnel both, during sailing and while stepping over to the plant. The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew Transfer Vessel is designed to be the final link in the logistic chain for maintenance between shore and offshore wind turbines. With a high probability that at any time there will be a wind turbine due for maintenance or repair, the weather and sea state become critical factors. The weather situation in the North Sea is not very reliable, even in summer it is not uncommon to have longer periods with strong winds and high waves limiting operation of small and fast vessels.

Transfer Vessel will allow access to offshore wind turbines in the North Sea with an approximate significant wave height of 2.0 - 2.5m.

The concept of the Windpark Tender allows easy adaptation to various tasks in offshore wind farms. The main role is transfer of service personnel and for this task the vessel offers a spacious mess room. Storage facilities are also available for components and spare parts.

The tender can even be equipped for diving operations or for operating ROVs for survey work during the laying of power and data cables.

On the vessel forward of the accommodation there is the cargo area. Toolboxes and spare parts can be stored either in containers or in the accommodation. The service team will need to have about the same tools and spare parts at hand as they would

The capacity of the Windpark Tender allows the transport from shore to offshore of even larger components up to 8 tonnes. All of this makes their vessels extremely versatile which offer a great flexibility to the operator.

The most important task is to get the service team on the wind turbine before any work can start. This must be done in a safe, economic and reliable way. The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew

“OFFSHORE BHV 1” Pontoon For the transport of offshore wind components BLG knuckled down and thought of something completely different with its partners: the special “OFFSHORE BHV I” pontoon. Based on the requirements for an effective loading/unloading as well as securing and transporting of large components, the special pontoon has been well equipped.

Categories: Consultancy, Maritime Operators, O&M, Ports & Logistics

The first reference projects carried out by WindEnergy Logistics, such as the Global Tech I, Trianel Windpark Borkum, Nordsee Ost and Meerwind Süd/Ost wind farms have proven that BLG are starting to put it into practice, and can proudly call itself a “leading logistics service provider and technology consultant for offshore wind energy.” Offshore Terminal ABC-Halbinsel The Offshore Terminal ABC-Halbinsel in Bremerhaven forms the central hub of the BLG WindEnergy Logistics services. The industry can store its components over an area of approx. 100,000m². Installation vessels can be placed in front of the heavy load platform, with an ability to carry 20t/ m². That allows XXL products to be

handled. The first tripods for the Global Tech I wind farm were stored here temporarily before being loaded onto the “Innovation” installation vessel. Overland shipment Even the shortest of distances unfortunately cannot be covered on foot in this industry. This is where BLG comes in and develops customised transport programmes which involve planning and performing the actual transportation, as well as obtaining all permits, planning equipment usage, packaging and accompanying transportation, and taking care of project documentation. State-of-the-art equipment such as self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT), as well as conventional

Engineering – A systematic service The process for getting first XXL offshore wind industry components out to sea did not go by the book. A vast amount of development work was initially required. BLG accepted this challenge and devised modular, innovative logistics solutions in keeping with the motto that you don’t always need to keep reinventing the wheel. Because in the long-term, only standardised solutions will help reduce costs significantly for the industry. The basic idea here is to adapt the logistics solutions to different scenarios in accordance with the customers’ requirements.

Cuxport is repeatedly able to introduce its existing logistics expertise in projects, which accompany the offshore wind power industry in all its varied facets. For example, Cuxport organises the transportation and storage of grout in big bags. This cement-like filling material is used for turbines at offshore wind farms to secure transition pieces and monopiles.

Once it has been completed, the terminal operator will be able to offer its customers in the offshore sector another 85,000 square metres of business space. The construction of additional capacity will be one of the most important tasks at Cuxport in the near future, so that the company can meet the growing challenges of the offshore business successfully in future too.

Damen Offshore Wind The best tools at sea Damen Offshore Wind Vessels aim to support both energy companies and offshore contractors at every stage of an offshore wind farm’s lifecycle: development, installation, operations and maintenance. Damen has been just doing that, selling in total 25 Twin Axe 2610 vessels and a Cable Layer for Van Oord based on the Damen Offshore Carrier. This is only the beginning; Damen has also been working hard to introduce new designs, showing that they seriously mean to remain a step ahead in terms of providing the right solutions to the market.

Damen Shipyards Group P.O. Box 1 4200 AA Gorinchem The Netherlands T +31 18 36 39 91 1 pro@damen.nl www.damen.nl Contact: Peter Robert Categories: Vessel Designers & Builders

Damen Walk to Work vessel Damen Shipyards’ new ‘Walk-to-Work’ vessel will be able to stay at sea for one month supporting wind turbine operations, providing a powerful alternative to the rapidly maturing offshore renewables energy market.

Extensive consultation with vessel operators, field developers and turbine makers, plus two years of design development, have resulted in the new ‘Walk-to-Work’ (W2W) wind farm accommodation and support vessel. The vessel will provide on-site work and storage facilities, plus accommodation for 40 turbine maintenance personnel and 20 crew members for periods of up to one month. At distances greater than 30 nautical miles, the time taken to

transfer maintenance crew from shore to turbine and back again everyday starts to become critical, with the longer travel time having a large impact on the overall cost of the operation.

The new design meets the specific challenges of offshore wind array cable installation.

Damen has been able to design a vessel for sustained operations at sea that could guarantee 80% availability working with wave heights of up to 3m Hs. This would significantly reduce costs and increase efficiency in the Central North Sea, an area considered to be the ‘worst case’ area for support vessel deployment.

The ICL 5000 is 116 metres in length with a 24 metre beam. The total cable capacity of 5,000 tonnes is comparable to the multipurpose Damen cable laying vessel based on the Damen Offshore Carrier 7500 design. However, on board the ICL 5000 both the turntables (1 x 3,000 tonnes and 1 x 2,000 tonnes) are below deck - a key requirement in array cable laying as it frees up 1,400m² of main deck space.

Damen infield cable layer, ICL 5000 Damen’s new Infield Cable Layer 5000 vessel is the result of a year and half of development and benchmarking with a number of cable laying contractors.

The philosophy is completely different for array cable laying. These operations need as much deck space as possible for the amount, and frequency, of the specialist work to be carried out, such

as cutting cables on deck, mounting cable protection, storing reels, housing diving and ROV spreads and other mission critical equipment. The ICL 5000 vessel is totally dedicated to array cable installation, providing cable layer contractors with a highly effective, specialised asset. Damen has designed the ICL 5000 with dynamic positioning (DP2) and tracking to hold its heading even when operating in rough conditions - up to 2.5 metres significant wave heights, 3 knots of side current and wind speeds of 15m/s. By contributing to longer operating conditions, the vessel helps

end of the offshore wind market. Like its larger sister, the new vessel features Damenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven Twin Axe performance to eliminate slamming for a more comfortable ride. The FCS 2008 carries 12 passengers at a top speed of 25 knots. However, its smaller size, lower fuel consumption and an attractive purchase price will make this vessel very interesting for fleet managers. As you would expect in the smaller vessel, the operating profile is different when compared to the FCS 2610, but for given weather conditions and job requirements, the FCS 2008 is just as

Damen Shipyards Group Damen Shipyards Group operates more than 45 shipyards and related companies worldwide. Consistent quality and short delivery times, due to standardized designs, modular construction and keeping vessels in stock, are Damen hallmarks. Proven technology, reliable performance and continuous (scientific) research enable Damen to offer customers innovative vessels with great Total Cost of Ownership. Damenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portfolio encompasses different types of tugs, workboats, high-speed craft, fast ferries, and cargo vessels, all of in-house design. In addition to the series-built, standard-type vessels, Damen is also active in the designing and building specialised workboats and patrol vessels, such as buoy laying vessels, pipelaying barges, naval and patrol vessels and other large seagoing workboats.

contractors avoiding delays. This results in another critical reduction of costs and increased efficiency during the wind farm construction stage. The design includes an optional A-frame for handling trenching spreads, enabling simultaneous lay and burial. The ICL 5000 also accommodates 90 offshore personnel and has a helideck. The vessel is designed in accordance with the DNV Cable Laying Vessel notation.

Damen has sold 25 of the larger FCS 2610 since introducing the vessel to the market in June 2011. As well as the revolutionary twin-axe aluminium hull, the FCS 2008 shares many of the traits of its larger sister. The two engines each drive a two-speed gearbox and fixed pitch propeller. The vessel will also benefit from Damenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standardisation and building for stock philosophy, offering owners very short delivery times.

The Twin Axe 2008 The Damen Twin Axe FCS 2008 is expected to be as popular as its larger sister, the FCS 2610, for transfers of wind farm maintenance personnel. The new FCS 2008 is designed as an efficient day-trip vessel at the smaller

capable as the FCS 2610 while being more economical to operate. For other jobs, the FCS 2610 is more suitable. It is all about having the right mix of vessels to provide the right logistic solutions at the most economical rate. At Damen we build a range of solutions, and this now includes the FCS 2008.

In addition to shipbuilding Damen offers supporting services, such as Damen Technical Cooperation (i.e. vessel packages for local building), repair and maintenance services (incl. spare parts), asset management systems, customer finance and crew training programmes.

From mapping a complete wind farm site survey to individual installations, from inter array cable route surveys to export cable with land fall surveys, Deep have made their mark in this fast moving technological industry.

Deep can provide specialist surveys for object detection. This is rapidly becoming an important sector for offshore wind farm planning. Submerged obstacles can cause tens of thousands of Euro’s damage to trenching equipment and ploughs. Even more important, for the safety of the operators of subsea operations, is the detection of ammunitions, bombs and mines from two world wars, which are still lying, uncharted, in the North Sea, for example.

For many years North Sea fishermen have trawled up flint spear heads and other items dating from the time when the North Sea was dry land. Deep, by using their sensitive equipment for scanning for archaeology from pre-history times, can locate and map these sites to avoid loosing forever this insight into how our ancestors lived. Deep have worked on projects on all sides of the North Sea and in the Baltic Sea, including the Prinses Amaliawindpark and Offshore Windpark Egmond aan Zee where they are currently carrying out O&M hydrographic and geophysical surveys. They have also been working at various stages on the following wind farm projects:

2013 has been a momentous year for Fred. Olsen Windcarrier. The inaugural year of operation for jack-up vessels, the Bold Tern and the Brave Tern, saw both vessels achieve a number of industry firsts, building an excellent track record and a reputation for quality. The company also took delivery of its eighth crew/service vessel Bayard 7, which is currently working in UK waters on the Walney Project. Most recently, the Bold Tern installed the world largest wind turbine, Alstom’s 6MW Haliade demonstrator, on the Belwind Offshore Wind Park off the Belgian coast. Prior to that, the Bold Tern was the first vessel in the world to deliver and install eight complete wind turbines in a single deployment whilst on the

Riffgat Project in the German Beight. The vessel, which was delivered by the shipyard in February 2013, began work on the 30-turbine project in April and was completed ahead of schedule, thanks to the capacity of the vessel and the expertise on board. Simultaneously to the Bold Tern’s Riffgat campaign, the Brave Tern completed the installation of the BARD Project, also in the German Bight. The BARD contract required Brave Tern to install the final 15 5MW BARD turbines. Both German installation projects were supported by the Bayard crew/service vessel fleet with technicians supplied by Fred. Olsen related company Global Wind Service.

The Brave Tern and the Bold Tern were constructed at the Lamprell shipyard in Dubai. Among the largest self-propelled jack-ups in the world, they measure 132m in length, with a mid-hull breadth of 39m and operate in water depths up to 45m (with possibility to extend by a further 8m). The crane capacity is 800 tonnes at a 24m reach and can lift to 102m over the deck.

Moreover, the combination of this specialised and innovative equipment and the experience with offshore projects as well as civil, environmental and dredging works is the perfect match to provide the clients with an overall solution for their project.

For the Kärehamn offshore wind park of E.ON, in the Swedish part of the Baltic Sea, 16 concrete Gravity Base Foundations (GBF’s) were needed. Construction of GBF’s The foundations were constructed on top of two very large barges in the port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) in a very short period of only 5 months. Because of the water depths in the Baltic Sea ranging from 8 to 21 meter foundation received its own specific design. The

height of these elements ranges from 15 to 25m. The heaviest element weighs approximately 1,940 tonnes. Preparing the seabed During transport of the foundations, the seabed had been prepared before installation. First half a meter of the seabed was removed, and to provide an even cushion layer for the foundations, a gravel layer was installed. In order to level this cushion layer, a levelling system has been developed by means of a levelling beam installed on the cutter dredger ‘Vesalius’. This allowed for levelling the gravel bed foundation bed within the design tolerances of plus or minus 45mm. Installing and ballasting the GBF’s Once the gravel bed was installed and

levelled, the heavy lift vessel ‘Rambiz’ lifted the foundations off the barges and installed the foundation to within 30 cm of the theoretical position by using its anchoring system and within 0.25 degree inclination. After the foundations had been installed, they were ballasted to withstand the extreme forces of the sea and carry the actual wind turbine. The shaft and ballast caisson of the foundation were filled with magnadense crushed iron ore. Finally a layer of heavy quarry stone was placed as a top capping layer in order to provide protection against wave induced seabed currents. To prevent the gravel layer from being washed away, an anti-scour quarry stone layer was installed around the foundations.

Liebherr Offshore crane technology Since the beginning of offshore technology, Liebherr has been involved in the development of appropriate cranes for offshore applications and today is the technology leader in this segment. Offshore is one of the most innovative and technologically demanding industry segments. The constant increase in worldwide energy demands and the development of ever more demanding sea beds go hand-in-hand with the advancement of crane technology. These demands have led to considerable changes in the requirements and possibilities of our cranes. Besides being used on oil and gas platforms, Liebherr cranes are also used in other applications, including subsea work and installation of offshore wind turbines, for handling remote controlled underwater vehicles, or for installing pipelines and telecommunication cables offshore. CAL cranes Liebherr has delivered two ‘Cranes around the Leg’ so far: the CAL 45000 and the CAL 64000. Their special design means that they are able to rotate 360° around one of the four jack-up legs of the vessel. They are the first heavy lift offshore cranes in the world to date to be built according to this design. The main advantage of this design is that despite the cranes’ enormous size they can be positioned in a space-saving way and thus require a relatively small obstruction area of only 12m. With a maximum lifting capacity of 1,500t at a maximum working radius of 31.5m the CAL 64000 is the larger of the two models. The CAL 45000 achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,200t at a maximum working radius of 27.5m.

Maritime cranes for the wind power industry The Group offers convincing solutions for the construction of wind turbines at sea. Liebherr’s offshore heavy duty cranes feature lifting capacities of up to 3,000t. All requirements can be catered for: diesel-powered or electric drive units, explosion-protected cranes and cranes for ambient temperatures between +40°C and -50°C and special lowering depths down to 3,400m below sea level. The offshore heavy lift cranes are mounted on crane ships or jack-up platforms specially designed for these jobs. Liebherr’s range of heavy lift offshore cranes for the wind industry consists of:

BOS series BOS cranes are conventional slew bearing type rope luffing cranes. This type of crane is available for lifting capacities of up to 1,200t. The crane prime mover is either electric-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic and can be designed for operation in either safe or hazardous areas. The hydraulic system is of a closed type technology with individual circuits for each crane function. Rope luffing cranes are available with metallic or non-metallic slew bearings. Depending on customer requirements Liebherr offers various types within the BOS-series. With a maximum boom length of 102m, which is especially required for offshore wind park installation, the BOS 45000 is the largest model of this series.

MTC 78000 The MTC 78000 achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600t at up to 35m radius. This corresponds to a maximum dynamic moment of 78,000t, the crane still being able to slew over 360°. At a maximum radius of 74m for the main hoist the crane achieves a lifting capacity of 530t. In addition to the main hoist, the MTC 78000 offers two auxiliary hoists with lifting capacities of up to 500t and 50t respectively. Subsea Crane RL-K 7500 Liebherr’s RL-K 7500 offers customers a convenient solution for subsea operations. It features impressive technical figures, being able to lift up to 260t in the air and handle loads down to a water depth of 3,400m. It is equipped with an Active Heave Compensation (AHC) system to compensate the vessel’s motions.

PIRIOU Experience and reliability for offshore wind farms Second largest designer, builder and repairer of ships in France, PIRIOU specialises in producing medium-sized vessels with high added value through a combination of high-performance engineering and a global network of industrial sites. The PIRIOU group comprises eight companies in Europe, Africa and Asia and employs a total of 1,000 people including 300 in France. Since 1965 PIRIOU has delivered 400 vessels and in 2012 the company’s total turnover was €122m. With a trusted track record of more than 100 aluminium crew boats (18 – 53 meters) delivered to the offshore oil and gas sector, in 2013 PIRIOU gained a firm foothold in the offshore wind farm market with a new range of high-performance support vessels.

High-performance wind farm service vessels Our new range of high-performance wind farm supply vessels (WFSV) is compatible with PIRIOU’s expert In-Service Support to ensure optimum fleet availability for ship-owners and wind farm operators. In response to the rapidly growing needs of the offshore wind farm market, specifically in terms of turbine maintenance and personnel/ equipment transport, we chose a seaproven solution by naval architects BMT Nigel Gee, renowned for their experience in WFSVs. Two models are available: WFSV w19 and WFSV w24. WFSV w19 and WFSV w24 are reliable, highly flexible vessels designed to perform a wide variety of offshore wind farm servicing tasks, even in bad weather conditions and rough seas. Recent deliveries of WFSV w19 In December 2013 PIRIOU launched two 19m offshore wind farm crew transfer vessels for a key player in the offshore wind sector. Construction began in April 2013 and they are now operating in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea since February 2014. “These two ships are the first in a series that we are building for the offshore wind farm sector. The trust that this major operator has placed in us is the greatest reward that could be given to our teams whose mission was to deliver ships at a very competitive price and to European quality standards.” Pascal PIRIOU.

engines, each with an output of 662kW, and Hamilton water jets which provide a maximum speed of 25 knots. The vessel can carry up to 12 passengers, 3 crew (with two twin cabins) and two 10’ containers. Six tonne deck crane optional. The PIRIOU WFSV w19 is certified Bureau Veritas and can operate up to 60 nautical miles from a safe haven. WFSV w24s under construction Buoyed by such success, PIRIOU is currently building two WFSV w24s designed by BMT Nigel Gee and delivery is set for late 2014. The WFSV w24 catamaran is designed to ensure the fast, safe and comfortable transfer of personnel and equipment. The catamaran can carry 12 passengers, 3 crew (four twin cabins) and up to

three standard 10’ ISO containers. With diesel capacity of 20m³, the WFSV w24 is the perfect supply and maintenance response to the current trend of building wind farms further and further offshore. Vessel length is 27.4m overall and beam is 8m. Hulls and superstructures are aluminium. The WFSV w24 is powered by two MAN main engines, each with an output of 1029kW, and Hamilton water jets which provide a maximum speed of 27.5 knots. WFSV w24 options include a 6.5t deck crane, resilient mounted superstructure and turbine access system. The PIRIOU WFSV w24 is certified Bureau Veritas and can operate up to 150 nautical miles from a safe haven.

Port of Sassnitz Offshore base port for the Baltic Sea The starting position could hardly be better: Port of Sassnitz is a deep-water facility in north-east Germany and it provides ideal conditions to serve as a base port for the offshore wind industry both in nautical and geographical terms. All the common offshore vessels, including jack-up barges and floating cranes, can call at the port, which has a draught of up to 10.5 metres. There are no restrictions on access caused by tides, locks or bridges. Within a radius of 30 nautical miles from the port there are already 21 offshore wind farm projects which have either already received official approval or are currently undergoing the authorisation process. The short distances between the base port and the wind farms out at sea provide clear cost benefits for operators and suppliers – just as the easy approach to the port without the need for any pilot or tug services. future; this is located very close to the ‘Offshore Terminal Sued’. Berth 1 is an important addition to the southern offshore terminal, which will primarily handle large offshore vessels. The planning work for building the berth has largely been completed.

Well equipped for the future as a result of expansion work There is already plenty of space available for companies to set up their business at Port of Sassnitz. Other areas, which can be used to install offshore wind parks, will be created in the medium to long term in the northern section of the port on a site measuring up to 15 hectares.

Categories: Ports & Logistics

112

The port offers ideal conditions – plenty of space for companies to set up their business – and berths where both freighters and highly specialised vessels for the offshore wind power industry can dock. “Offshore components cannot be delivered by road because of their size. The units must either arrive at the quayside or be produced at the port site,” Harm Sievers, Managing Director of Fährhafen Sassnitz GmbH, explains. Offshore Terminal South: 100,000 square metres for the wind power sector A new terminal tailored to meet the special needs of offshore wind power projects was completed in 2013 measuring 100,000 square metres in the southern part of the port. Large

components for wind turbines can be stored, pre-assembled, transhipped and transported at the quay, which has a total length of 410 metres. In addition, a new warehouse with 1,400 square metres roofed storage area and office facilities have been constructed. Components, which will be handled at the terminal involve, for example, rotor blades that are 60 metres long or towers that weigh about 250 tonnes. The area will initially be used for setting up the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind park from 2014 onwards. Other projects, as for example the offshore wind park Wikinger from Iberdrola, are already in the pipeline. Crew transfer vessels, tugs and supply vessels will be able to use berth 1 in

Thanks to the funding framework, which has been created and maintained by the state government in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it is possible to purchase or lease areas at attractive conditions. More than 60 hectares are available for industrial and commercial use at the Sassnitz-Mukran site. But that is not the last word in converting the ferry port into an offshore centre: a new multi-purpose offshore building, measuring approx. 3,400 square metres, has been constructed and should be available for maintenance and repair work from the beginning of 2015 onwards. Until that time, the building will be used to produce offshore rotor blade prototypes, which measure 80m from the tip of the blade to their root.

The manufacturers of wind turbines develop highly complex and valuable products for the energy supply of the future. When it comes to logistical challenges they rely on the high flexibility and quality of the services which are provided by the nine seaports of Niedersachsen.

120

Experienced staff, high-capacity transhipment facilities and specially fortified areas (e.g. heavy-load facilities for components with piece weights of up to 1,000 tonnes) for the transhipment of wind turbines and other project loads characterise the port locations in Niedersachsen. Outstanding connections by rail, road and inland waterway guarantee optimum conditions for production,

efficient handling, warehousing, mounting and installation of wind energy components. Moreover, individual port operating companies have established themselves as holistic logistics service providers with special services for the wind power branch. Besides handling and warehousing this includes spare parts logistics, supplier management, goods receipt processing, order picking and packing as well as supply chain management and transport control. The seaports of Niedersachsen provide strategic hubs for the installation and subsequent maintenance and supply of the offshore wind power farms in the North Sea via helicopter as well as vessel services. Several manufacturers

of offshore components decided to settle in one of the seaport locations in Niedersachsen which are providing ample infrastructure. The production of the offshore components in close proximity to the ports ensures short transport routes by land thus creating a potential to save both costs and time. In the Lower Saxon seaports there are extensive potential areas available for companies and suppliers of the onshore and offshore branch to settle.

Out of the box Sky-Access BV provides technical maintenance at difficult reachable areas through the use of industrial rope techniques. In other words: Industrial Rope Access. What is rope access? Rope access is the term behind the application of industrial climbing techniques. The technique comes from England, where it is used already more than 16 years. Industrial rope technique has become a necessity in the maintenance of tanks, freighter, elevator shafts, masts and rigs. Due to the application in the petrochemical industry and the development of high-tech climbing materials, the education and systems behind rope access are sophisticated. Rope access may be used in many places. In a safe way cost-saving is the key word, with in particular the reduction of assembly and disassembly time in projects.

Tidal Transit Ltd Offshore logistics and vessel operator Tidal Transit, operating out of Docking in North Norfolk, has risen to the challenge of one of East Anglia’s rapidly expanding industry sectors – offshore wind energy. The construction and maintenance of an increasing number of offshore wind farms along the east coast of the UK is offering exciting business opportunities for services providers with ambition and vision that are willing to respond to the challenge. Tidal Transit own and operate three state-of-the-art, purposedesigned support vessels to transport construction workers and maintenance crew out into the North Sea. 2014 will see further additions to the fleet. Ginny Louise arrived in North Norfolk in December 2011, with Eden Rose following shortly after in April 2012. Tia Elizabeth arrived in August 2013.

The vessels’ specifications greatly exceed the current fleet being used for the same purpose in the UK. The MCA Cat 1 coding and 10,000 litre fuel tanks give them a range of up to 150 miles from safe haven, well within the range of the UK’s forthcoming Round 3 wind farms. Each provides four crew members and twelve passengers with comfortable beds, galley, bathroom, internet and entertainment facilities, enabling wind farm engineers to live and work on-site for several days at a time.

Since their arrival in the UK, Tidal Transit’s vessels have been in continuous use, firstly at the Greater Gabbard and now the Sheringham Shoal wind farms. It is a testament to their rugged reliability that they have remained on charter over the winter months.

All three vessels have also worked for RES Offshore in accessing far offshore met masts. Most recently, Tia Elizabeth hosted 8 technicians 80 miles from Grimsby for 3 nights and 4 days while servicing the Hornsea mast. Tidal Transit also owns and operates a dedicated survey vessel, the Katie Louise.

127

All of the vessels’ rugged GRP construction allows them to operate in rough seas – a major advantage when working in the North Sea. They are also fitted with twin V12 MAN engines that

allow them to achieve 27 knots when carrying twelve passengers plus crew, and up to 6 tonnes of on-board cargo. Massive cargo decks fore and aft can accommodate up to 10,000kg of tools, equipment and spares, and the Guerra crane on the fore deck with a lifting capacity of 1,025kg at 6.9m caters for long reach loading and unloading. The vessels are also equipped with a moon pool for camera surveys and grab sampling.

Van Beest B.V. Green Pin® your reliable partner Van Beest is a leading manufacturer and supplier for a complete program of high quality standard fittings for lifting chain and steel wire rope. Registered trade marks: Green Pin® for shackles and EXCEL® for chain accessories. Van Beest currently has branches in the Netherlands, Germany, France and USA, and stock holding distributors in more than 80 countries world wide.

Made in Europe Green Pin shackles and Excel chain components are made in our own factories. In Sliedrecht, the Netherlands, we have a very modern upset forging facility where Green Pin shackles are manufactured. In Celles sur Durolle near ClermontFerrand in France our second forge is located. Here we manufacture Excel hooks and chain components in grade 8 and 10 and in stainless steel. The fact that both brands are high quality products manufactured in

Europe which comply with a wide range of internationally recognised standards have made them very valuable to traditionally high-risk sectors like mining and oil and gas production. Over the last couple of years the renewable energy sector has also become more and more interested in our high quality lifting products. Transportation The use of Van Beest products starts already with the transportation of wind turbine parts. The parts have to be carried from various factories to the final location where the wind turbine is assembled. Whether by truck or vessel, our Green Pin turnbuckles and Green Pin shackles are often used to lash the load securely to the deck or floor, thus making sure the parts reach their destination safely. Installation The next step is the installation of the wind turbine parts. Again, Green Pin shackles are used to lift the parts into place, often in combination with an Excel rotating hoist ring so that the parts can be manoeuvred easily.

We´re a fabricator of Substations too and have successfully completed Borkum West II OSS, Baltic I OSS and Alpha Ventus OSS. With our partners, we offer turnkey solutions, with structures ready to be installed offshore. Our production sites Bremerhaven has become the centre of offshore wind in Europe. And here we are.

134

We fabricate offshore structures from standard pipe, special pipe and heavy plate for water depths up to 60m. With us at your side, you can develop all your projects safely. At our 125,000m² shipyard we can bend, roll, weld, coat and fit out almost

all kinds components needed for offshore structures. Our facilities are offering the flexibility required for offshore wind projects. Our facility for serial fabrication, our flagship, enables us to manufacture foundations for offshore wind turbines independently from wind and weather. Under its roof, we have 14,000m² available, divided into two independent production lines, so that two different projects can be executed simultaneously. Everything has been designed to enable a fast and efficient production process for the biggest structures you can imagine, and at the lowest cost possible.

Our production process We applied production know how from the automotive industry, and brought it to the offshore wind market. Thanks to a purpose-built railway system, our foundations are moved smoothly and economically through our serial production site to all different working stations. It allows our welders and fitters to work under optimum conditions and shortens the time needed for completing all production steps and concurrently keeps the quality of our products on a very high level. Our people If we are so successful nowadays, it is thanks to the 1,200 people working at WeserWind. Our employees are

highly experienced, as they have been working in the shipbuilding industry for decades. But as offshore wind is not the same as shipbuilding, we´ve undertaken big efforts in order to make them experts in offshore steel grades and dimensions. Our engineering capacities and services We believe that one of the key issues in this business is to develop designs that can be fabricated in a cost and time saving manner. This is why we develop in house designs for both substations and foundations.

We´re also offering O&M services for our offshore structures which includes both offshore substations and wind turbine foundations. We already acquired experience, as we are performing such work on the offshore substation Baltic I. Our trained team is taking care of the steel work, coating, low voltage electrical components and other secondary equipment such as cranes. One last word There is a leading principle in the offshore wind industry: Do as much as you can onshore and never compromise when choosing your facilities! We´re prepared to be at your side.

Jack-up units The units’ specific design features ensure flexibility and efficiency, thus providing a substantial competitive advantage in the fulfilment of diverse client work scopes. The advent of the wind farm installation market has led to the design and build of a jack-up specifically for this market, incorporating the relevant lessons of 20 years of jack-up operational experience.

Temporary accommodation Furthermore, on behalf of owners, Workfox offers temporary accommodation units for offshore locations and on board ships. These TLQ’s comply with all relevant governmental and class specifications and combine comfort with practical efficiency. They have been designed for offshore oil & gas production sites and are capable of withstanding severe offshore environmental conditions. The TLQ’s are stackable to a maximum of three high, and have

two fully-quipped double cabins, separated by sanitary and ventilation facilities. The rental fleet also includes other types of units such as offices, recreation, laundry and changing rooms. Offshore competence The combination of the Seafox units and the dedication, knowledge and experience of Workfox’ shore and offshore-based personnel is the key factor to a successful offshore operation.

capacity of 1,200mt and is designed with a jacking system for quick and frequent usage.

Zeeland Seaports One stop shop for offshore wind The North Sea is an ideal location for the generation of wind energy. The wind is favourable and thanks to the shallow water depth it is relatively easy to build large wind farms here. Not surprisingly, quite a few offshore wind projects are planned; projects that require a lot of materials that need to be shipped in by sea. ‘The port of Vlissingen as part of Zeeland Seaports, is an ideal home base for delivery’, Peter Geertse, commercial manager of Zeeland Seaports, said. ‘And not just for wind energy projects, but also for oil and gas production activities.’

Box 132 Terneuzen The Netherlands T +31 11 56 47 40 0 F +31 11 56 47 50 0 info@zeelandseaports.com www.zeelandseaports.com @zeelandseaports Contact: Peter Geertse commercial manager, peter.geertse@zeelandseaports.com Categories: Ports & Logistics

‘Our location is one of our strong points. The ports are close to the North Sea and are favourably located in relation to the Netherlands, Belgium, the north of France, the United Kingdom and even Germany and Denmark.

140

In the waters offshore of these countries, major wind farms will be developed over the coming years. In addition, our ports are easily accessible. Large installation vessels can navigate freely, unencumbered by locks or bridges.’ This is important because what is true anywhere, is true for this branch especially: time is money. For the transport of heavy loads, special ships are needed, which can only carry limited amounts of cargo

each time. Therefore, speedy handling is of the utmost importance. Peter Geertse: ‘Space is another advantage of the Vlissingen location. Many wind generator parts are manufactured in the hinterland, for example in Limburg. These companies often look to us specifically for the temporary storage of items including monopiles and transition pieces. Companies such as BOW Terminals and Verbrugge Terminals are offering the space and facilities needed for efficient transhipment to the wind farm projects. This is not all that these ports have to offer. Hoondert and VDS, for example, are specialised in large steel construction work; Heerema builds jackets and transformer topsides,

Mammoet is a heavy lift and transport specialist, and Multraship provide towage and lifting services. These companies are only a small example of what is on offer, there are many other companies providing vital services. In short, we have everything needed to facilitate the building of offshore energy projects. More than 20 projects have already proven that Vlissingen is a successful home base for the offshore wind industry.’ It is an image that Zeeland Seaports wants to maintain and reinforce. ‘It is a branch with a future. Today, the wind farms are being built. This will involve many shipping movements and extra

jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically in construction and assembly work in the future. These wind farms will all need O&M bases. Again, this will involve more jobs in construction and logistics.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The port authority has joined forces with trade & industry to promote the opportunities presented by Vlissingen-Oost. This will promote the advantages on offer from the port of Zeeland and all the companies involved in these offshore projects.
