EDITOR’S NOTE Dear reader, It is with pleasure that we present you with the fourth edition of our annual publication, the Offshore WIND International Business Guide, IBG´15, where companies showcase their field of expertise in the offshore wind sector and the wind energy associations from various parts of the world provide updates on the development of offshore wind for their countries. Even amidst some set backs and with governments wary to commit to long term policies, it is and will remain for some time ahead to be a growing industry. Offshore wind farms are still being built and new technologies are being developed and there are also new players entering the market. As in 2014 getting the overall cost of offshore wind down will once again be on top of the list at all levels of the sector, whether in the initial developing stage, during construction, or during the operation & maintenance stage. The industry will need to work more efficiently and, perhaps even more important, work more together in finding solutions to achieve these reductions.
We will be mailing this edition of the IBG to our subscribers and distributing it throughout the year at major events such as the upcoming EWEA Offshore in March. The IBG’15 will also be viewable as a pdf on our website www.OffshoreWINDmagazine. com and each company also has an online representation on our news website www.offshoreWIND.biz. We thank all participating companies and wind energy associations once again for their contribution.
By creating this business guide we hope to provide those who are new, or those who need to be convinced about the significance of this industry, as a renewable energy provider and as a job supplier, an insight of the variety of players.

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’s members include wind turbine manufacturers, component suppliers, project developers, project owners and operators, financiers, researchers, renewable energy supporters, utilities, marketers, customers, and their advocates.
U.S. offshore wind industry accelerates Offshore wind is an exciting segment of the U.S. wind energy industry that has made significant progress over the last several years. Projects have been proposed in both state and federal waters including off of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as well as in the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. And, several projects are in the advanced stages of the development process including Cape Wind’s 468 MW project in Massachusetts and Deepwater Wind’s 30 MW demonstration scale project offshore of Block Island, Rhode Island. Significant Achievements in 2014 2014 in particular was marked by an increased pace of achievements. In May, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced a Call for Information and Nominations (Call) seeking developer interest in acquiring commercial wind leases in an area offshore of New York. In June, DOI, BOEM and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick announced plans to auction 742,000 acres offshore of Massachusetts for wind energy development. The proposed area is the largest in federal waters and will nearly double the area available for offshore wind energy projects in the U.S. In July, DOI and BOEM announced plans to auction 344,000 acres offshore of New Jersey for wind energy development.
14
In August, DOI and BOEM announced for potential development three additional Wind Energy Areas totaling approximately 307,590 acres offshore of North Carolina. These areas will now undergo an Environmental Assessment before the leasing process begins.
Finally, also in August, DOI and BOEM held an auction for Maryland’s offshore wind lease areas. U.S. Wind Inc., a unit of Italy’s Renexia, was the winner. Investment in Innovation For its part, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) continues to make a significant investment in research and development. The DOE is committed to lowering the levelized cost of energy and accelerating permitting timelines. One example of that: DOE’s announcement in May of the winners of the next phase of its Offshore Wind Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects Initiative. The three projects selected were Fishermen’s Energy’s 25 MW project offshore of Atlantic City, New Jersey; Dominion Power’s 12 MW project offshore of Virginia Beach, Virginia; and, on the West Coast, Principle Power’s 30 MW project offshore of Coos Bay, Oregon. Each team will receive up to $46.7 million over four years for continued efforts related to permitting, power off-take, and grid interconnection in order to achieve operation by 2017. DOE also announced that under the same initiative they will enter into research agreements with project teams from the University of Maine and Lake Erie Energy Development Co. (LEEDCo), infusing several million more dollars into U.S. offshore R&D efforts. For the first phase of this initiative, seven teams received $4 million in 2012 for the engineering, site evaluation, and planning phases of their projects. Looking Ahead Industry experts and analysts believe the offshore wind industry in the U.S. is well positioned for significant growth in the coming years. The great potential for the offshore

segment of the U.S. wind energy industry demonstrates the need for continued focus and investment, and thus far, the private and public sectors are delivering. Offshore WINDPOWER 2015 Conference and Exhibition AWEA held our Offshore WINDPOWER 2014 Conference and Exhibition in Atlantic City, New Jersey in October. At the event there was a great enthusiasm among all attendees for the future of the offshore wind industry in the U.S.
Industry representatives will gather again in 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland for the AWEA Offshore WINDPOWER 2015 Conference & Exhibition that will be held September 29th and 30th. For more information, please visit: www.offshorewindexpo.org. Christopher Long Manager of Offshore Wind and Siting Policy

The offshore wind industry in Belgium has been one of the fastest growing sectors the past years and has become a clean tech industry with a large job potential. With the realisation of three offshore wind farms, C-Power, Belwind en Northwind, representing a total capacity of 712MW, the Belgian offshore market is one of the front runners worldwide.
In addition to those three operational wind farms, five others farms have already obtained a concession and will be built in the coming years. With the realisation of all eight wind farms Belgium will be capable of producing 2.200MW wind offshore by 2020. For the Belgian economy and society the realisation of these eight wind farms by 2020 is crucial. If Belgium wishes to achieve the European and Belgian 20-20-20 objectives, offshore wind is vital. By 2020 the eight offshore farms will have to generate 50% of the renewable energy production target. The past year also revealed a capacity issue on the Belgian electricity market. In that light the construction of the projects Northwester 2, Seastar, Rentel, Mermaid and Norther is also a necessity for the economy of the country. Once operational these farms will generate approximately 8TWh a year, which will account for 10% of Belgium’s electricity consumption.
introduced an appeal against this project. Without this reinforcement of the grid, it would be impossible for the five ‘yet to be built’ wind farms to transport their electricity onshore. The upgrade of the grid will start in 2015. These developments are an important step towards the concrete realisation of the next five projects. But if we really want to guarantee the financing and realisation, it is important that this mechanism remains stable for the lifetime of the projects and that the upgrade, as planned today, is finalised successfully by 2017. Lut Vande Velde Secretaris-Generaal
In addition to this, offshore wind has been one of the fastest growing sectors in the Belgian economy over the past years and can continue to be so. The construction of the five new farms represents an investment of approx. ¤58m and also generates a considerable number of jobs; 20,000 jobs for the construction phase and 800 new permanent jobs for the operation of the farms. This illustrates the importance of the sector. Essential for all this is a clear long term vision on the support scheme and a quick reinforcement of the onshore transmission grid.
16
In 2014, two crucial hurdles have been reached in the realisation of the five new wind farms. The first hurdle was taken in June 2014, with the decision by the Belgian government for a new offshore wind farm support scheme. This new scheme is based on a LCOE and offers the necessary clarity for the investors to take the next steps in their projects. The second hurdle was the need of reinforcement of the onshore transmission grid, the Stevin-project. In September 2014, Elia, the national transmission system operator, finally reached an agreement with all parties that had

DWIA Danish Wind Industry Association A long and comprehensive experience with building offshore wind farms, has led Danish companies working with offshore wind to a world leading position. Based on more than 20 years of offshore knowledge and lessons-learned Danish companies are primed for dealing with the challenges of next generation of offshore wind farms. Many of which will be based in Denmark, where, by the end of 2021, 60% of the electricity will come from the wind.
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 the highest level of wind energy per capita in the world. During the first 6 months of 2014 wind energy covered more than 41% of the Danish electricity consumption and the focus on wind will continue in the coming years following 2012’s political energy agreement, which stated that 1,400MW is to be built offshore by end 2021. The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is positioned right in the middle of the development, representing more than 260 Danish companies across the broad national supply chain, including market leading manufacturers as well as installation, transport, service, consulting and energy companies, all with impressive reference lists. Denmark enjoys a favourable geographical position between the windy North Sea and the Baltic Sea, ensuring strong offshore wind and large areas of shallow water. Thus, as the Danish onshore capacity is slowly reaching a maximum, especially offshore wind holds a great potential for future wind energy generation. The unique offshore wind conditions have also caught the attention of the EU and Denmark plays a crucial role in exploiting these ideal offshore sites, which have made Denmark the 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.
18
Small country, great deeds 2014 was another record braking year for the Danish offshore wind industry. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind installed the very first V164-8 MW, currently the world’s most powerful wind turbine, at Østerild National Test Centre for Large Wind Turbines. At 220 meters in height, the new turbine is able to cover the electricity consumption of 7,500 average European households. With an offshore capacity reaching almost 1.3GW, Denmark comes in on a global second place, where,
following the Danish energy agreement, two new large-scale offshore wind farms are scheduled to be completed before 2020 and 2022: The 400MW Horns Rev 3 in the North Sea and the 600MW Kriegers Flak wind farm in the Baltic Sea (which will be the first to interconnect two countries – Denmark and Germany). An additional 400MW are being developed as nearshore turbines between 4-20km from shore, enabling neighbouring 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. Removing costs and adding value Cost-wise offshore wind is becoming an ever more competitive alternative to fossil fuels and is now the second cheapest technology for electricity production in Denmark, competitive with new large scale coal plants. The main challenge of the industry and politicians is now to increase the value of wind by implementing a more flexible and widespread use of the large amounts of renewable electricity from wind farms. Optimising integration of wind into the Central Heating system and establishment of additional trans-border transmission lines are relevant tools in this regard. Furthermore, in 2014 the opening a new test centre, Lindø Offshore Renewable Centre (LORC), once again underpinned the high Danish offshore wind energy expertise. Bringing together both research and industry, LORC is paving the way for a new kind of turbine testing able to ensure full scale nacelle tests directly applicable to real-life offshore conditions.

Cost reducing initiatives such as LORC and the Østerild test stands combined with value-increasing initiatives such as better and more flexible use of the wind energy are important factors crucial for reaching Denmark’s goal of becoming 100% independent of fossil fuels by 2050.

EWEA OFFSHORE 2015 Together with EWEA, DWIA is proud to co-organise the EWEA OFFSHORE 2015 conference in Copenhagen on 10-12 March 2015. EWEA OFFSHORE is the world’s largest offshore wind energy conference and exhibition and it illustrates the strength and width of the industry. With the conference returning to Denmark, EWEA OFFSHORE 2015 marks the 10-year anniversary of the
event, which started as a pioneering initiative launched by the Danish Wind Industry Association. The vision was to support the growing wind industry’s need to showcase it’s expertise and potential and now, ten years later, the exhibition illustrates the matureness of the industry and is an important forum for a wide variety of wind industry actors.
German OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY FOUNDATION Germany currently has some 900 megawatts of offshore wind power capacity connected to the grid. The wind farms in the North See are called alpha ventus, BARD 1, Riffgat and Meerwind Süd/Ost; Baltic 1 is, as the name suggests, in the Baltic. This year, an additional approximately 2,400MW of offshore turbines will be connected to the grid. These new wind farms are Trianel Windpark Borkum, Global Tech 1, Nordsee Ost, DanTysk, Baltic 2, Riffgrund 1, Amrumbank West and Butendiek. In addition, this year we expect the start of Gode Wind 1, Gode Wind 2 and Sandbank with a cumulative capacity of around 900MW. By the end of 2015, Germany will probably have some 3.3GW of offshore wind capacity, more than half of the 6.5GW target for 2020 – and hence a milestone in the development of offshore wind power in Germany. EEG amendments provide planning security for the further growth of offshore wind The amendments adopted in August to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and the extension of the foreshortened feed-in tariffs for offshore wind power (the “Stauchungsmodell”) last year finally gave the offshore wind sector the planning and investment security it needs for the second growth stage of German offshore wind. The foreshortened tariffs mean that wind farms connected to the grid by the end of 2019 will receive 19.4 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first eight years. After that, 3.9 cents is paid for the remaining 12 years.
high investment costs, so reliable mechanisms must be developed before auctions are launched, lest investments once again ground to a halt.
The amendments also include the new target of 6.5GW, a goal that the industry believes is more realistic. To reach that target, the German Network Agency has to approve a total of 7.7GW by 31 December 2017.
Grid upgrades also need to be better coordinated at the European level. The goal should be the Europe-wide coordination of grid infrastructure development tailored to demand as the basis for a true common energy market. With its Europe-wide Seastar initiative, the Offshore Wind Energy Foundation focuses on these issues and will shed light on perspectives, development options, and best practices in the next few years.
In contrast, the offshore wind sector believes the target of 15GW for 2030 in the amendments lacks ambition. We need strong market growth in the offshore sector to tap the considerable cost reduction potential of this technology. For instance, studies have found that the LCOE of offshore wind can be cut by around a third over the next 10 years if the sector continues to grow strongly.
20
Auctions being discussed In addition to clear growth targets, the EEG amendments specify that prices for renewable energy, including offshore wind power, are to be determined in auctions starting in 2017. Pilot auctions are currently being designed for ground-mounted photovoltaics in order to start gaining experience. It is fundamentally unclear, however, how which experience from this pilot phase can be transferred to other technologies. The offshore wind sector in Germany has therefore called for a careful scientific monitoring of the pilot projects before auctions are rolled out for all renewable energy in order to determine whether auctions will truly lead to cost reductions faster than the status quo would. The offshore wind sector in particular has quite long project phases and
Coordinated grid upgrades are a national and European challenge Up to now, grid upgrades in Germany show that the construction of offshore wind farms and grid connections has to be better coordinated. To this end, grid operators must perform their duties, and political guidelines are needed. The technological and logistical challenges must not be underestimated.

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 very 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 totalling 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. In March 2014 the talked aimed towards completing an intergovernmental agreement were parked with a commitment to future engagement as part of the Cfd process currently underway in the UK. Initially these talks were aimed at finalising an agreement such that up to 5GW of onshore and offshore energy from Ireland could be exported to the UK in advance of 2020. It is now more likely that these project will deliver in a timeframe beyond 2020. IWEA believes that Ireland has the capability to develop an export led offshore industry in the coming years upon agreement conclusions and UK Cfd proposal for import are finalised.
22
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 broader 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 an 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 in the coming year with several projects under consideration and included in the EU list of Project of Common Interest. The East West Interconnector and future additional interconnection brings multiple mutual benefits to both British and Irish economies. It has improved competition, increased 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, impending 2030 targets, potential future export Cfd’s combined with 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 remains positive for offshore wind development in Ireland. Kenneth Matthews CEO

JWPA Japan Wind Power Association
By the end of 2014 Japan has 52.6MW of offshore wind power, including two 2MW floating wind turbines. The Japanese government has fixed 36 JPY/kWh as the feed-intariff for offshore wind power in March 2014. This is 1.6 times higher than the onshore tariff of 22 JPY/kWh. There are a further 914.5MW of offshore wind power projects currently under planning. Several projects will start construction within a couple of years.
The offshore wind power experience in Japan is divided into several stages. Offshore wind in Japan started with demonstration projects at near-shore locations. Two 600kW Vestas turbines were installed by the local government at Setana Port in Hokkaido in December 2003. Another two 2MW Vestas turbines were installed by Sumitomo Trading at Sakata Port in the Yamagata prefecture in January 2004. Dolphin foundations were used for both projects.
24
Commercial developers, including Komatsuzaki Co., the local wind power developer in the Ibaraki prefecture, have taken the initiative in the second stage. Seven 2MW turbines with down wind rotor made by Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), were installed on monopile foundations at just 50m offshore from the coast at Kamisu in the Ibaraki prefecture near Tokyo in February 2013. The wind turbine division of FHI had merged with Hitachi in 2013. This semi-offshore wind farm is famous for surviving the large earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Eight more 2MW turbines were added nearby in February 2013. The second initiative included a single Siemens 3MW turbine installed on a monopile foundation by Eurus Energy at a near shore location in Akita port in October 2014. The third stage includes four projects by the Japanese government. The first project is by the Japanese New Energy and Industrial technology Development Organization (NEDO) and uses fixed foundations. Three other projects, by the Japanese Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the NEDO, aim to develop floating offshore wind power projects. The NEDO conducted an Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project at Choshi and Kitakyusyu. One Mitsubishi 2.4MW turbine was installed on a gravity foundation made by Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) at a location 3km offshore from Choshi in the Chiba prefecture in March 2013. In another project from Japan Steel Work (JSW) a 2MW gearless PMSG turbine was installed on a jacket-gravity hybrid foundation by J-Power 1.4 km offshore from Kitakyusyu in the Fukuoka prefecture in June 2013.
The MOE has conducted a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Demonstration Project (GOTO FOWT) at Kabashima in the Goto-islands in the Nagasaki prefecture. A FHI 100kW downwind rotor wind turbine with spur type floater was anchored 1 km offshore from Kabashima in July 2012. It operated for about one year and was dismantled in June 2013. A replacement Hitachi 2MW downwind rotor wind turbine was anchored in its place in October 2013. The METI has conducted a Floating Offshore Wind Farm Demonstration Project (Fukushima FORWARD) in the Fukushima prefecture. One Hitachi 2MW downwind rotor wind turbine was anchored on a 3-column, semi-sub type floater about 20km offshore from Iwaki in the Fukushima prefecture in December 2013. The substation is anchored on a spur type floater next to the 2MW floating turbine. A Mitsubishi 7MW hydraulic drive turbine (SeaAngel) on a V shape, semi-sub type floater is to be added in summer 2015. There will also be one more 5-7MW class floating turbine to be added in 2015-2016. The NEDO has introduced a new Advanced Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Demonstration Project in autumn 2014. Their intentions are to build several floating offshore turbines and achieve cost reduction by 2018. The fourth stage is led by commercial projects. Eleven projects, representing in total 900.5MW, are now under development. All these commercial projects will use fixed foundations. Nine of these projects, with a total of 640.5MW, will be installed near the port where it is easy to get development permission and take the fishermen’s rights into consideration. The other 2 projects, with a total of 260MW, will be located at open sea. One project, the 250MW Kashima port offshore wind farm project, is intended to start construction in 2015. Three other projects, representing 240MW, are being considered under Environmental Impact Assessment procedures which require about 4 years to pass through. The remaining 7 projects are still in an early planning stage at this moment. Yoshinori Ueda Bureau Director Communication

KWEIA Korea Wind Energy Industry Association In 2014 there has not been much progress in the offshore wind industry sector in Korea. The installed offshore wind output remains unchanged at only 5MW in operation. However, some hurdles of the onshore wind farm development have been removed.
Current and planned developments Two wind turbine generators, of 5.5MW and 5MW each, have been installed and are now under test operation in the Korean island of Jeju. To date Korean shipbuilders have also built five installation vessels for the offshore wind industry. The 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 province. Currently this project is being delayed mainly due to lack of consent of residents in the district. However the 30MW Tamra offshore project, with ten 3MW turbines, will be installed offshore from Jeju island as from March 2015 by Doosan Heavy Industries. Permission for this project was obtained from local government several years ago.
26
Two further offshore projects, the 100MW Hanrim project and the 168MW Daejung project, have obtained the preliminary government permit but still have other hurdles to be cleared by the developers.
The Jeju provincial government will invite tenders in the early part of 2015 for two more sites of 200MW each from the offshore wind developers aiming at developing 2GW in total by 2030. Elsewhere in Korea local governments are also promoting applications for obtaining the government permit for up to 4GW of offshore wind, including a 500MW offshore wind site in the Chunnam district to be launched in 2015, and several gigawatts in the Kyungnam province which is currently under consideration. Korean Enterprises have accumulated the potential track records in fabrication and also as EPC contractors in the field of offshore facilities in the offshore oil and gas sector. With this experience they are now preparing to penetrate the offshore wind market including the floating wind turbine sector. Dr. Rimtaig Lee Chairman

price) will be granted both the concession to build as well as the SDE+ subsidy (for 15 years).
Offshore wind: status and outlook for the Netherlands The Netherlands was one of the first countries in the world to complete offshore wind farms. The first two, Egmond aan Zee and Prinses Amaliawindpark, both off the Dutch East coast, provide a total of 228MW. The next project, Luchterduinen, will start operation in 2015 generating 129MW from 43 turbines. This will be followed by two projects 85kms north of the Netherlands with a total output of 600MW which will become operational in 2016. Meanwhile, in 2015, the ‘in-shore’ Westermeerwind project, with a capacity of 100MW, will be built in the IJsselmeer.
The conclusion is that there are exciting times ahead in the Netherlands, with a tremendous amount of work to be done to make all these ambitions happen.
In September 2013 the ‘Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth’ was endorsed by the Dutch Government, the Dutch industry sector, employers, unions and NGOs. In this agreement, where the renewable energy target is set at 14% for 2020 and 16% in 2023 (currently 4%), a substantial role is attributed to Offshore Wind. It is also clearly recognised that this will involve an important boost to the economy and employment. This presents a major change – and a major opportunity - in the approach to Offshore Wind in the Netherlands.
28
The roll out scheme for Offshore Wind was announced in September 2014 by the Minister of Economic Affairs, with plans for an additional 700MW each year in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, totalling 3,500MW to be tendered in the five years. This will all be regulated in the new law ‘Windenergie op zee’ which has to be agreed by the Parliament early in 2015. The new tender system will consist of lots where the winner (with the lowest MWhour
The minister has also announced that the grid to onshore from and including the transformer station will be built by TenneT. This will all be regulated in the new “STROOM” law which also has to be agreed by the Parliament in 2015.
NWEA will continue to assist its members and the government to realise these ambitions throughout 2015. Dolf Elsevier van Griethuysen Coördinator Offshore NWEA

The UK remains the world market leader for offshore wind, with more capacity installed than in the rest of the world combined, and offshore wind now averaging 5% of net UK electricity consumption. Yet, following new energy market regulations introduced gradually over the last 2 years, the funding for offshore up to 2020 now allows for a reduced pipeline compared to previous expectations.
In terms of policy, 2014 has been a busy year, with activity in several areas. Progress has been made on the Oil and Gas Clause, the review of the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime and the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. In addition, the Offshore Transmission regime has entered the enduring phase with the introduction of the Generator Commissioning Clause and the launch of a new tendering round.
As a consequence, there are increasing concerns that many consented or soon to be consented projects will not be able to secure CfD support. Competition will be fierce, with only one in every six megawatts of offshore capacity likely to win contracts. This means there is a considerable risk of projects being resized or written off. To mitigate this and give industry some long term certainty Government needs to make clear how funding will be structured beyond 2020.
From a deployment perspective, the last year has been a relatively quiet one, due to uneven consenting outputs in previous years resulting in a ‘consenting gap’ and lumpy deployment pipeline. 2012/13 was a busy consenting period followed by a quieter 2014 and perhaps similar to come in 2015. Between June 2013 and June 2014 332MW entered the operational phase, bringing the total installed capacity to 3,653MW. This is projected to go up by early 2015 to 4.5GW with the commissioning of Gwynt y Mor, Westermost Rough, Energy Park Fife and West of Duddon Sands.
A clear and supportive policy landscape is essential if the offshore wind sector is to deliver its wide range of environmental, economic and social benefits. Currently there are 15,000 direct jobs in the wind industry, with Government launching initiatives such as the creation of the ORE Catapult, the launch of the GROW:OffshoreWind programme and the publication of an Industrial Strategy. These initiatives are designed to promote innovation, reduce costs and develop supply chain.
These figures illustrate the steady deployment rate of roughly 1GW per year. Looking at planning, the situation is promising: around 3GW of offshore wind was consented during the same period, and a significant pipeline of projects, adding up to 8GW, is now essentially ready to move to construction. In addition to this 7 projects, comprising a total of 9GW, were submitted into the planning system.
30
However, delivery ex pectations should be tempered in the light of the new ‘Contracts for Difference’. Around 3.2GW of capacity was awarded “investment Contracts” by Government in April 2014, but other wind farms will have to compete for contracts through a series of auctions. Those auctions will have capped budgets meaning that, due to budgetary constraints, total offshore capacity is set to reach around 10GW by 2020.
During these dynamic times of change for the industry, RenewableUK has been supporting the sector with a range of initiatives: from engaging with Government and stakeholders on policy to delivering our portfolio of flagship events. We have also published a number of landmark reports including the most recent studies ‘Consenting Preparedness of Offshore Wind Stakeholders: Survey and Recommendations’ and ‘Managing Regulatory and Consenting Costs for Offshore Wind’, in addition to our annual ‘Project Timelines’ and ‘State of the Industry’. The next ‘date for your diary’ is in June 2015, at RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind Conference and Exhibition set to take place in London. Filippo Locatelli Offshore Wind Development Manager

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’s 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.

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.
any work can start. This must be done in a safe, economic and reliable way. The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew 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. 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 have onshore in a service van. It is also possible to store pumps and tanks for oil changes for the wind turbine’s gearbox. The tender can even be equipped for diving operations or for operating ROVs for survey work during the laying of power and data cables. 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.

Has Western Europe become too expensive to produce steel castings? At first sight yes, but if you look from a broader perspective the answer is not so clear. As a Belgian company AllardEurope faces all the cost disadvantages of a typical Western European production facility. Our options: move to a low wage country or excel.
In recent years we increased our melting capacity to 40 tons, hired young, well trained professionals to transfer knowledge of our experienced staff, gave them state of the art equipment and software to excel. Our machine shop was moved to a new building. The elder machines were replaced or upgraded, new machines were installed. Our machining capacity now includes turning up to 10 m diameter and 5-axes milling up to a span of 11 m. There is CAD/ CAM to CNC post-processing on all our equipment to allow for the most complex geometry to be machined (including double curved surfaces).
We invested in innovating pulse EM-equipment for NDE. Our long term relationship with qualifying and inspection body’s such as ABS, LRS, BV, DNV-GL was formalised in Production Facility Qualifications. Everyday our staff is committed to make AllardEurope the Steel and Iron Foundry!

We chose the last option! Machines can be moved, 90 years of experience can not. We chose to invest in our people and state of the art equipment to be not just a supplier, but a partner. Our goal: customer satisfaction at a good total cost of ownership. This is only possible through flexibility, a will to push technical limits, open communication, a companywide attitude to solve
problems, realism and honesty. We are not the company that promises you heaven, but fails to deliver.

The Chevalier Philosophy Chevalier Floatels vessels are designed to be much more than just floating accommodations. They have to be safe, efficient, comfortable. Good engineers are hard to find, therefore comfort on board is very important. Ensuring their wellbeing also keeps their productivity maximized and reduces safety risks. Chevalier vessels feature a restaurant, spacious recreation rooms, and a gym. A large galley with quality catering makes sure our guests stay well cared for. All cabins have internet, TV with entertainment system and adjacent bathrooms. The general standard on board is very high.
boat landings, a heave compensated crane and a fast rescue boat. Kalmar, Sans Vitesse, Rossini and Transit These floating hotels are suited for mooring in any port. With their low drafts it is often possible to moor them close to the site where the guests are working. Kalmar has 220 cabins suited for single or double capacity. The very luxurious Sans Vitesse has 101 cabins and is because of its very luxury standard also suited to accommodate management or as a vessel to house client representatives. Rossini has 110 cabins, its own generators, water makers and sewage treatment plant. It can operate fully self-sufficient in any area and climate in the world.

A key factor for the company is operational safety.
DP Gezina and DP Galyna The yacht style DP 2 vessels DP Gezina and DP Galyna are operating as offshore support and accommodation ships. They feature 48 cabins for 60 persons. They are equipped with Ampelmann heave compensated gangway to make transfers to platforms as easy as crossing the street. The gangway is located in the centre of the vessel and on an elevated deck. Therefore the Ampelmann can make the landing to the platform over the starboard and over the port side. The high location of it makes it possible to reach structures up to 22 meters above the water line. This ensures firstly, more safe boarding positions than on most other vessels and secondly, that almost any platform is accessible. Apart from this the vessels have a work deck, three crew

A small percentage per offshore wind farm is reserved for cables and accessories. This percentage accounts for a vital part of the project; the connection to shore. If this connection is disrupted, how much power needs to be generated and distributed in order to compensate for the additional undesired - expenses? The best approach is to avoid such situations actively, by assessing the projects accurately and then providing adequate mechanical cable protection. CPNL Engineering is proud to be the first global engineer and supplier with DNVGL certified cable protection systems for both monopile entry and I-/J-tubes. The systems are based on the core product articulated pipe. This product has been successfully used for decades and with
the redesign features made by CPNL, it has upgraded to a flexible and robust system. The exclusion of fasteners explains it all. Therefore, CPNL is the only supplier that can create a unique flexible quadrant to deploy the cable with a protection system in a highly controlled way over the shoot. Furthermore, the retrofit of the system in existing and new projects has been evaluated as the best available by customers. The straight forward approach of CPNL is to let the numbers tell the tale. More specifically, the products have been tested by independent test facilities and these results were used as input for further calculation and
Orkaflex simulation. The end results were reviewed by DNV-GL and this resulted in DNV-GL certification for the bellmouths, centralisers, articulated pipe (coated and uncoated), end clamps and spreader beam with compressed air release. The match between theory and practice is considered of vital importance. Therefore, the diverless concept of CPNL Engineering covers the range of installation and O&M. An ROV can retrieve the cable protection and a crane takes over to pull the cable on board for disassembly and reassembly of the components. The same counts for the flexible quadrant. It saves deck space and allows optimal use of this space for

storage and other purposes. Smaller vessels can carry out these activities as well as a larger one, as it is not limited by the demand of a cable protection system. That leads to the reason why more and more customers contact CPNL. The commitment and consistency is highly valued. As a reliable partner CPNL has structurally completed its deliveries on time. Another plus is that CPNL commits to being present offshore to assist in the first days of installation activities.

Cuxport
heavy duties upto approx 480 Tons
Services provider for the offshore industry The services that the terminal operator Cuxport offers its customers are as varied as the demands of the wind power sector. Located at the mouth of the river Elbe, where the water is deep enough for sea-going vessels, the port logistics company has gained a reputation as an efficient partner for wind park operators, energy supply companies and the foundation manufacturers. The German port of Cuxhaven epitomises the combination of a production site and an installation and service and maintenance port for the offshore business. Various skills required to set up and expand or maintain wind farms out at sea and generate clean energy are available at the offshore base port in the German state of Lower Saxony.

Port logistics company with a wide range of services for the wind power sector. The wind power sector can make full use of the expertise and capacity at the Cuxport multi-purpose terminal when seeking logistical support for these projects. The port logistics company has increasingly geared itself to meet the differing demands of this young market sector since 2007. Many customers are already using the services at Cuxport – in particular the terminal’s ability to handle very heavy loads and the extremely strong RoRo ramps at the deep-water berths. Able to handle heavy loads As wind turbines are continually becoming larger, Cuxport has to move enormous weights if tower sections or
foundation structures are to be transported. The company not only has a roadway capable of handling heavy loads, which runs from the manufacturers’ production sites to Cuxport, but also a heavy-duty platform for transhipment purposes. It can cope with up to 90 tonnes per square metre and measures 1,500 square metres. Flexible Cuxport can point to many years of experience in the project business – not least based on its original design as a heavy goods terminal. The port logistics provider offers the necessary flexibility and the relevant transhipment equipment both for services in the installation field and when providing supplies for production processes. The trend towards larger wind turbines and
the use of modern installation vessels from the edge of the quay have not only triggered a reassessment of whether to complete assembly processes out at sea or on dry land, but also induced manufacturers of tower sections or foundational structures, which used to mainly produce their goods at hinterland destinations, to operate their factories very close to the sea. 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.

CUXPORT – CLOSE TO THE WIND Equipped for heavy duties upto approx 480 Tons
Forward-looking Proximity to the wind park projects, which have already been completed and are being planned in the German Bight and the surrounding area, make Cuxhaven generally suitable to play a role in the service and maintenance business – and Cuxport in particular,
to store loads weighing up to 20 tonnes per square metre. 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.

The advantage of being very close to the wind farms and access to the North Sea without any locks or reliance on tides in combination with wide heavy duty storage areas were enough to persuade serveral customers. Planning approval for a berth adjacent to the heavy-duty platform is completed. This will provide another 290 metres of quay space at Cuxport, hopefully from 2017 onwards, and will be able

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 34 Twin Axe 2610 vessels and a Cable Layer for Van Oord and Maersk 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. And of course there is more to come in 2015.

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 signal to the rapidly maturing offshore renewables energy market.
58
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. 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. 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 new design meets the specific challenges of offshore wind array cable installation. 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. 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 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
end of the offshore wind market. Like its larger sister, the new vessel features Damen’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
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. Damen’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 specialized workboats and patrol vessels, such as buoy laying vessels, pipe-laying barges, naval and patrol vessels and other large seagoing workboats.
conditions, the vessel helps 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 Damen’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
requirements, the FCS 2008 is just as 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.
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:
• Gunfleet Sands • Alpha Ventus • Thornton Bank • Belwind • London Array • Luchterduinen If it lies under or on the sea bed, in shallow coastal waters or deep sea, Deep can locate it, map it, and guide you around it, saving you both time and money in your sub sea operations.
61
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.

The services of EMS Maritime Offshore are structured within four main sectors. Shipping, ship owning and management The management of a ship requires know-how, expertise, and flexibility. As a shipping company, EMS Maritime Offshore GmbH combines all these in its maritime technology inspection activities, and therefore offers the best possible support when you have to allocate available personnel, or technical monitoring of ships and tours of duty. The supply of offshore wind farms requires a very high standard of proven and tested vessels. In line with this, EMS Maritime Offshore GmbH offers experienced and skilled nautical and technical personnel for the shipbuilding supervision of such ships.
Maritime coordination survey and consulting Maritime coordination of offshore construction sites is enormously important for a successful project. EMS Maritime Offshore forms interdisciplinary teams by recruiting its Marine Coordinators from the company’s own nautical officers, vessel operators or technical management staff. Besides our core business – vessel traffic coordination, radio communication management and emergency response – our MCs have also been assigned additional duties such as vessel registration procedures, maintenance of Permit-To-Work systems, reporting to the German authorities (from daily reports up to full licensable concept studies), weather monitoring and logistical CTV disposition.
Port services, logistics and full supply chain management Using its own port network in EmdenKnock, Emden, Eemshaven and Borkum, EMS Maritime Offshore GmbH offers the complete range of port services. With our team and facilities we are able to manage and assist in heavy loads, mooring services, open and closed storage, fresh water, bunker supply and waste disposal, custom clearance and quayside office facilities. “We take care of your cargo from onshore to offshore within our full supply chain, functioning as your single point of contact.”

The company has since gained unprecedented experience installing the latest generation turbines including Alstom’s 6MW Haliade 150, the largest offshore wind turbine ever to be positioned in sea waters at the time. One of the top highlights to date has been the installation on the Global Tech I
offshore wind farm, in the German North Sea – one of the first to feature the AREVA M5000-116 turbines.
Bold Tern and Brave Tern transported and installed 75 towers and nacelles and 22 rotor stars of the 80 turbines, completing the project on schedule within eight months. The flexibility of the vessels was key to achieving the operational target – and included a record performance in the transportation and installation of eight turbines in one week, including 10 hours transfer time each way to the wind farm. Following her work on Global Tech I, Bold Tern mobilised for installation work on Butendiek Offshore Wind Farm, also in the German Bight, to provide offshore
The structures were successfully installed and retrieved 28 times at three major UK sites in some of the most challenging soil conditions experienced by the participating four developers. This marks another major step forward in the de-risking of suction technology for offshore wind and is a milestone in the development of the Universal Foundation. Meanwhile, five of Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s Bayard crew transfer vessels (CTVs) have been employed on UK offshore wind projects. Three of the Bayards are under contract at Walney offshore wind farm, where they will continue working on operations and maintenance for the duration of their three year contract. Fred.

For the Karehamn 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 30cm 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 increase in 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 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.
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 2,000t. 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 3,600m 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. 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. 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
MTC 78000 The MTC 78000 achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600t at a radius of up to 35m. This corresponds to a maximum dynamic overturning moment of 780,000 kNm, 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 subsea crane offers customers a convenient solution for subsea operations.

To further assist the offshore wind market two Joint industry projects (JIPs) are in their closing stage and two will be started in 2015. All JIPs are still open for new participants. WiFi JIP The objective of WiFi JIP is, to better understand the influence of steep and breaking waves on the foundation of
offshore wind turbines and secondary structures like boat landing platforms. The project aims at an improved methodology to take extreme waves and non-linear wave effects into account in the design of offshore wind turbine construction. The experimental and validated design methods can be used by the JIP participants, to have a better quality control on the design of their structures and to avoid damage by improved design methods and calculation requirements in Guidelines and Standards. Wind Jack JIP For jack-up wind turbine installation vessels the loads on the legs and the jacking system during touch-down and lift-off are considered to be the most critical step of the installation process. Wind Jack aims to understand and predict the interaction between jack-up legs and the seabed in order to better quantify the operational limits and to make an accurate prediction of the workability of wind turbine installation vessels. To determine the seabed reaction forces on the moving leg tips during touch-down and lift-off MARIN joins forces with the Dutch geotechnical research institute Deltares. Lions Hat JIP In greater water depths floating offshore wind turbines can be an alternative to fixed wind turbines. In this context, the development of a cost-efficient floating wind turbine relies on a proper prediction of loads on the turbine, its floating foundation and its mooring system. Such a prediction is only possible with simulations accounting for the floater and
the turbine. The goal of this project is to validate standard simulation approaches for Floating Wind Turbines with a specific focus on the coupling of the aerodynamics and the hydrodynamics. Offshore Maintenance JIP The objective of the offshore maintenance JIP is to decrease the O&M cost and risk for maintenance operations by developing improved knowledge and practical simulation tools for O&M cost analysis. This will be achieved by determining operational criteria based human factors as well as limitations to the vessel and its equipment. The human criteria will be quantified by, physical lab experiments, onboard measurements and Simulator trainings. For this JIP MARIN joins forces with the ECN and TNO.

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 which 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 4 offshore wind park projects which are either under construction or have already received official approval. The market potential is even larger comprising up to 16 offshore wind parks. The short distances between the base port and the wind parks 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. placed directly on the terminal area which improves the communication between the project teams and provides short distances on the terminal. Three more OWF used to be under contracting - for the time after the completion of ‘EnBW Baltic 2’.

The port offers ideal conditions 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 A new terminal tailored to meet the special needs of offshore wind power projects was completed in 2013 measuring 100,000m². Large components for wind turbines are currently being stored, pre-assembled, transhipped and transported for the OWF “EnBW Baltic 2” which will become operational in 2015. The OWF comprises 80 wind turbines which will generate enough
power to supply 340,000 households with renewable energy. Amongst others, fully assembled towers which weigh 250t are stored at the quay and loaded onto the jack-up installation vessel VIDAR. The entire loading process is done floating which results in significant time and cost savings. Other components, such as rotor blades, measure about 60m and are transported by experienced Port of Sassnitz staff from the feeder ship to the place of rest. The available quay length of the offshore terminal amounts to 600m in total, including a RoRo ramp at berth 4a which is being used for the delivery of the wind turbine components. Moreover a new warehouse with 1,500m² and an insulated warehouse measuring 740m² are accommodating spare parts, tools, equipment and sensitive electro technical parts. Finally, the projects offices are
O&M Port Crew transfer vessels, tugs and supply vessels will be able to use berths 1 and 1a in future. They will be part of an O&M port which is currently under construction. The berths are located close to the Offshore Terminal South and comprise a total berth length of approx. 330m. The supply of the vessels with e.g. fresh water and bunker fuel will also be possible. The new O&M port will be available from 4th quarter 2015 onwards. Well equipped for the future 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 term in the northern section of the port on a site measuring up to 16hs. But that is not the last word in converting the ferry port into an offshore centre: a multi-purpose offshore building, measuring approx. 3,400m², has been constructed and will be available for maintenance and repair works from the beginning of 2015. Prior to this, the building was used as a production plant for offshore wind rotor blade prototypes, which measured 82m from the tip of the blade to their root. The building is a ‘state of the art’ construction and equipped with a heating system and a crane capacity of 2 x 25t.

RUD Ketten - Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG Tough drives for maritime applications RUD Chains is a leading manufacturer of high quality round steel link chains. RUD round link chains are used across a range of demanding working environments, they show their strength across RUD’s conveyor and hoist systems to their well-known pink lifting and lashing means. As a response to the increasing demand from the industry for drive solutions based on round steel link chains, RUD has established the product group TECDOS®. TECDOS® components and modules offer unrivalled solutions for a wide variety of maritime applications, e.g. for moving, pulling, lifting, telescoping, pivoting and swivelling.
TECDOS® has been setting high standards across the maritime and offshore industry due to its distinctive features. RUD’s fine calibrated round steel link chains are
extremely robust, offer three-dimensional mobility and require less space than most comparable solutions. The chain fits perfectly with corresponding components such as pocket wheels and chain guides, which run smoothly and offer an exceptionally high wear resistance.

With over 140 years of expertise of chain technology to draw upon, you can be confident in the quality of RUD products. The latest RUD developments are the TECDOS OMEGA®, TECDOS PI® and TECDOS GAMMA® drive and idler units. The TECDOS OMEGA® is a device which allows you to pull, push, pivot or swivel structures, skids, beams, cranes along deck or hatch covers onboard, in harbour or on an offshore rig. Chain ferries use this drive to pull themselves along a chain, on backhoe excavator barges it is used to push stud poles up and down, on ship loaders it is used to extend the conveyor beam and in ports it is used to switch railway cars.
For the wind power and offshore wind power industry in particular, TECDOS® chain solutions are used in applications such as wind blade production and wind blade installation. For projects such as wind tower installations and maintenance to offshore wind supply and maintenance RUD can supply standard or tailored solutions to meet your requirements.
105
TECDOS OMEGA® has features similar to a rack and pinion drive or gear rim which
offers a range of advantages. Firstly it is easy to install, tolerates misalignment and heat elongation and does not produce reaction forces. It is less prone to damage when used on ice, sand, heat or other challenging environments. The TECDOS OMEGA® can be used in all directions, vertical, horizontal or oblique; it can run along curved or straight surfaces or move along curved or straight beams or structures. TECDOS PI® and TECDOS GAMMA® drives and idler units consist of housing
containing the pocket wheels, bearings, guides and knot preventer. They allow deflection of the chain by 180° (TECDOS PI®) and 90° (TECDOS GAMMA®). They are also used for head drives; one loop of chain over two pocket wheels, and one driven by a motor. This works for applications such as spooling devices for winches, for skidding systems or for pushing a hangar door up and down.

Scaldis Salvage and Marine Contractors Lifting at a higher level Scaldis is a dynamic, innovative and expanding marine offshore contractor specialized in offshore transportation and installation with a core business and expertise in heavy lifting. Scaldis has earned a reputation as a solid and reliable partner to contractors and clients. Scaldis provides turnkey and other cost-effective solutions for projects using its multi-purpose heavy lift vessels.

Scaldis is active in five distinct market sectors namely: • Oil and Gas • Renewables • Deconstruction • Civil works • Heavy lifting related to salvage works
106
One of the many strengths of Scaldis is its willingness to work closely with its client from an early stage in order to develop the most efficient and effective methodology. Scaldis’ current heavy lift vessel, the Rambiz 3000, has a unique arrangement having two cranes, shallow draft, large deck space and extensive accommodation facilities.
This gives the vessel the ability to operate in areas where many other vessel cannot access. Her ability to work in both deep and shallow waters provides valuable flexibility. The combination of two deck cranes enables the Rambiz 3000 to lift unusual structures that would otherwise require two separate vessels. The two cranes can work independently or be synchronized to provide an unrivalled flexibility in handling structures. Scaldis is a significant participant in the rapidly expanding offshore construction and decommissioning markets and in order to meet the increasing demands of these markets, the shareholders of Scaldis have
ordered a new heavy lift vessel with a lifting capacity of 4000t. The Rambiz 4000 will possess many of the key assets of Rambiz 3000 but will also incorporate the following new developments that will extend the possibilities for the vessel: • Lifting capacity of 4000t • Fully self-propelled • DP2 • Skidding cranes to allow greater flexibility to deck space • Helideck With its increased capacity and enhanced features, Scaldis expects Rambiz 4000 to extend the boundaries of what can be achieved and will enable Scaldis to perform more work across a wider geographic area.
The European market is a prime area of focus. Until the delivery of the Rambiz 4000 this market will remain a large and valuable market for Scaldis but the prospect of working in Central America and Middle East will be enhanced with the delivery of the new vessel. Scaldis strives to achieve the highest level of quality, safety and environmental awareness throughout its activities. Certification according ISO9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 is a demonstration of its commitment to deliver and improve the quality of service to its clients.

Seaports Niedersachsen Germany’s leading wind energy cluster The Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH represents a network of nine seaports located at the German North Sea coast with numerous port handling service companies, supra-regionally operating logistics networks and specialists for all kinds of port services. Together the port locations on the rivers Elbe, Weser, Jade and Ems form one of the most significant German cargo hubs. For more than 10 years several of the ports are specialising in the field of wind energy handling and storage and meanwhile have developed to be the leading experts for logistics of wind energy plants and components.

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.
112
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 hinterland 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 Niedersachsen seaports there are extensive potential areas available for companies and suppliers of the onshore and offshore branch to settle.

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 four state-of-the-art, purpose-designed support vessels to transport construction workers and maintenance crew out into the North Sea. Ginny Louise arrived in North Norfolk in December 2011, with Eden Rose following shortly after in April 2012. Tia Elizabeth arrived in August 2013 and Kitty Petra arrived June 2014.

The vessels’ specifications greatly exceed the current fleet being used for the same purpose in the UK. The MCA Cat 1 coding and 9,000 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. 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 26 knots when
carrying twelve passengers plus crew, and up to 10 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. Since their arrival in the UK, Tidal Transit’s vessels have been in continuous use, firstly at the Greater Gabbard, then Sheringham Shoal and Gwynt y Mor and now Westermost Rough wind farms. It is a testament to their rugged reliability that they have remained on charter over the winter months. All three of the four 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.

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. Maintenance Once the wind turbine is properly installed and has started to generate energy, at some point it will become necessary to carry out maintenance works.
10 chain components. These products are much lighter than conventional products with the same working load limit, which makes it a lot easier to bring the equipment to the rotor part of the wind turbine. For more information, please visit our website: www.vanbeest.com

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.’

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.
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.
These companies often look to us specifically for the temporary storage of items including monopiles and transition pieces.
For the transport of heavy loads, special ships are needed, which can
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 – 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.’ The port authority has joined forces with trade & industry to promote the opportunities presented by VlissingenOost. This will promote the advantages on offer from the port of Zeeland and all the companies involved in these offshore projects.

structures as well as farm-wide phenomena. This allows early, low cost repairs, optimal preparation of the repair operation, but also a follow-up of the repair measures themselves. As such a significant risk reduction is achieved over 20 to 25 operational years, the foreseen life span of a wind farm. A proper remote monitoring solution begins with identifying those components and/or phenomena that need to be tracked. Aspects to take into account are the risks related to potential issues with the component and the amount of information that can be gathered from the phenomenon. Of interest are corrosion, dynamics, stresses and deformations, scour... In order to obtain real, advanced information on the state of the offshore
structures, the acquired data from which it will be derived needs to be of sufficiently high quality. To obtain this, multiple elements are taken into account. Focus is on location and type of sensors, design of logic units, data logging scheme as well as transfer and long-term storage. Last but not least followed by the interpretation and reporting based on the acquired data, operational conditions and external loads obtained from met data. This process is complimented with an automated follow-up of the monitoring process itself, resulting in a maximum quality and availability of all data. Do not hesitate to contact us and find out how we can provide a tailored solution for optimal, long lasting risk and cost reduction in your project.

The monitoring example The integrated, intelligent monitoring of the foundation structures we offer represents an important tool for reducing risk and costs in offshore wind. If well implemented an integrated monitoring approach will continuously track the ‘state of health’ of a foundation and identify in a very early stage the onset of structural or operational problems.
