EDITOR’S NOTE

Dear reader, We proudly present our fifth edition of the annual Offshore WIND International Business Guide, IBG ’16, with presentations from companies all over the world showcasing their experience in the offshore wind energy sector. We also include reports from various national wind energy associations on developments in the last year and months to come.

We believe 2016 will be seen as a year of preparation for the following year, when it is expected that many of the projects currently completing planning stage will start construction. There are still many decisions and contracts awaiting confirmation before this construction work can actually commence, which will make this year very exciting.

Of course, cost reduction is still a major concern for the industry. However, with supply chain production lines working towards full capacity for these new projects, cost reductions should follow.

The company presentation are also available online the news website www.OffshoreWIND.biz. These online presentations will have the advantage of being able to be updated throughout the year to cover the progress made as it happens.

Also, the whole publication is available on www.OffshoreWINDmagazine.com, under the guides tab, and to subscribers of the digital Offshore WIND magazine available on tablets.

We thank all participating companies and wind energy associations for their contribution to this publication.

The purpose of this guide is to promote the companies, not only within this sector, but also in fringe areas. For example, many of the vessel companies in this edition have found contracts possible in the offshore oil and gas industry. Therefore, copies of IBG ’16 will also be distributed at various events for these industries.

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.

Historic year for U.S. offshore wind industry In a milestone for the offshore industry, steel went into the water in July as construction began on the Block Island Wind Farm, the first offshore project in the U.S. The 5-turbine Block Island Wind Farm will provide 30MW of power for Block Island residents, who will see their energy costs decrease as a result of the deployment of this zerocarbon resource. This project may lead the way for many similar projects near coastal communities in the U.S. We also witnessed the entry into the US market by DONG Energy, a major European player in offshore wind. DONG Energy identified significant market potential in the United States and took over the lease, acquired by RES Offshore last year, for a Massachusetts Wind Energy Area to develop a project which, at full build-out, could generate over 1000MW. Major strides in 2015 US Wind began surveying work on the seabed in the 125-square-mile area it leased for commercial wind development off of Ocean City, MD. The survey work conducted will inform US Wind’s efforts to design and place steel foundations for the 68 turbines that make up the first phase of a 500MW project. In Virginia, on June 12th, over 50 organizations wrote to Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) to urge him to support policies that would promote offshore wind in Virginia. The letter noted that valuable areas of Virginia’s coastline, including military installations, are vulnerable to sea level rise caused by climate change and that offshore wind presents an opportunity to mitigate climate change and to create 10,000 jobs for Virginia. The letter urges the Governor to use offshore wind as a tool to implement the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan.

In Oregon, there is state support for the floating demonstration offshore wind project. On August 27th, Gov. Kate Brown announced the formation of the WindFloat Pacific Offshore Wind Advisory Committee to identify viable pathways to procure the project in Oregon, boost the state’s economy, and increase local jobs. The project received a $46.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

White House support for offshore wind On September 28th, the White House convened a Summit on offshore wind, bringing together leading federal, state, and industry stakeholders committed to the long-term and sustainable development of offshore wind in the United States. The White House Summit signifies that a groundswell of support for offshore wind has reached the highest political office in the United States. One of the actions noted in the summit was the creation of an Interagency Working Group on offshore wind, which the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and Domestic Policy Council will co-chair, designed to ensure better coordination among Federal agencies, which in turn is expected to help advance the deployment of offshore wind energy. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy will fund a multi-state effort by New York, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island to identify opportunities to cooperatively develop offshore wind on a large-scale in order to achieve economies of scale and establish a regional supply chain.

A regional approach will enable the development of gigawatts, rather than megawatts, and is a necessary step in the USA where federalism requires partnerships among states as well as between states and the Federal government. As the administration negotiates details for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties, offshore wind may very well be a part of any post-2020 compliance plan toolkit.

Looking forward In November 2015, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) auctioned off the leases for the New Jersey Wind Energy Area, which is over 300,000 acres and could support 3,400MW of generation. BOEM also announced that it completed environmental review of the North Carolina Wind Energy Areas, opening the door to leasing there. Further, the agency has indicated that significant progress is being made towards identifying Wind Energy Areas offshore South Carolina and New York.

As with any new industry, challenges in developing offshore wind in the United States are to be expected.

The price of offshore wind will need to decline to enable

expanded deployment. Permitting timelines must accelerate. Stronger market demand signals are needed from state governments and others. In the United States, state regulatory commissions have the authority to review power purchase agreements on behalf of consumers and they look closely at the costs of offshore wind compared to alternatives such as natural gas and land-based wind.

DWIA Danish Wind Industry Association Since the installation of the first offshore park in 1991, entrepreneurial ingenuity combined with a solid R&D focus has given Denmark a leading position in the highly commercialised and rapidly growing offshore wind energy sector. Moving forward towards an ambitious goal of being independent of fossil fuels in 2050, Denmark needs to not only install more wind energy but also to secure optimal integration of the harnessed energy into the grid, both nationally and at a cross-European level.

As most people with an interest in wind energy will know, wind energy plays a crucial part of the Danish energy system. At the same time, Denmark has a unique and complete value chain for both on- and offshore wind and is home to a series of dedicated and highly competitive companies with a global footprint.

Not only has the offshore market grown in recent years, so has the competition with the entry of new players in the market. This is positive, as the increased competition will help drive the technological and practical boundaries in offshore wind, helping to bring down costs faster. In Denmark, 2015 marked the completion of the tendering process for the 400MW Horns Rev 3 project. The closing price of 0.10€/kWh is a very competitive price in comparison with projects in other markets. While HR3 will be connected by 2018 the next large offshore wind farm, Kriegers Flak, will be grid connected no later than 2021.

In total, seven international consortiums are prequalified to make a bid for the 600MW wind farm. This record high number of bidders indicates the increasing competition in the market and bodes well for the winning bid.

12

The Danish way A factor that contributes to both low winning bids and many interested bidders is the dialogue, transparency and flexibility offered by the authorities. These qualities have become a Danish trademark cemented in a ‘one-stop-shop’ concept which can hopefully also spread to more European markets. Furthermore, the players in the wind industry all benefit from the long term and broad political frameworks that are in place.

not only to integrate large amounts of wind energy in the power grid. The goal is to use electricity in more and wider contexts. DWIA is focusing on how Denmark can achieve this goal and thereby benefit more from the growing wind energy production. Especially the transportation and heating sectors hold great potential for integration of more electricity, for example through large heating pumps in the Danish district heating sector.

However, learning to optimise the value of the generated wind energy demands hard work and cooperation from both industry players and political bodies as well as public support as the amount of renewable energy continues to grow. Currently, a barrier for this agenda are the Danish levies on energy, as they do not create enough incentives for the integration process to happen naturally. Thus, the integration agenda is demanding great attention and will do so for many years to come.

Installing turbines where it makes sense The integration of wind energy into the grid and energy system is not only limited to the Danish borders, but is also closely tied up to the European renewable energy transition. EWEA predicts wind energy to be the technology with the largest production in 2030, and in order for this to happen all countries must chip in and add new capacity. However, some countries face practical boundaries and some countries do not have a coastline.

Once the last element of the current energy policy – Kriegers Flak – is completed, Denmark will get approx. 60% of the electricity consumption from wind energy. In 2015, Denmark passed another milestone as the 5th GW of wind energy was installed. First half of 2015 saw 43% of the electricity coming from wind energy.

One solution is to create an Energy Union that allows the energy to flow freely from areas where it makes the most sense to install wind energy. This is essential to the expansion of wind energy as well as renewable energy across the EU in order to adhere to the European targets for the future. Creating a level playing field for the actors in the European energy sector that enables us to transport the renewable energy across Europe according to supply and demand is key to the European energy transition.

We have to get smarter Obviously, the solution to a carbon free energy system is

German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation Germany takes second place for offshore capacity in Europe In 2015, Germany has made a lot of progress in the field of offshore wind power.

At the end of this year, a total of 13 offshore wind farms with a cumulative capacity of around 3.3 GW were connected to the grid in the German North Sea and Baltic.

This progress moves Germany into second place in Europe behind the UK. An additional three offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 870MW are currently under construction, with final investment decisions also in the pipeline for five wind farms worth around 1,600MW. Germany is clearly on course for its target of 6.5GW for offshore capacity by 2020. In fact, slightly more might even be achieved. Specifically, the amended Renewable Energy Act of 2014 allows up to 7.7GW of grid connection capacity by 2020 in order to ensure financial security for investors.

announced a new production site in Cuxhaven, which will add another 1,000 jobs. In the past few years, the offshore wind industry has become a crucial factor in industry policy. The maritime economy also benefits from this young, innovative sector that provides skills.

Auctions must support the further growth of offshore wind power The positive trends in German offshore wind power must continue after 2020. Policymakers therefore have to design future options so that the market volume will be big enough for offshore wind power to continue to develop.

Further growth is crucial towards reducing costs within the sector after 2020. The industry is calling for a transitional system that will ensure sufficient project volumes. In addition, the auctions must be designed so that numerous bidders are awarded contracts, legal security is provided, and technology development ensured.

The foundation continues to represent the interests of the offshore wind sector when engaging with other sectors and interest groups. In particular, it makes sure that important goals – such as the further growth of offshore wind power and sufficient competition – are ensured in the current discussion about auctions so that Germany and Europe can reach its energy and policy targets.

The design of auctions in the 2016 amendments to the Renewable Energy Act will be decisive for the future of offshore wind power in Germany. To prevent a stop-andgo market, clear rules have to be drawn up for a soft transition from feed-in tariffs to auctions.

Sufficient grid capacity is crucial After 2020, sufficient grid capacity will remain indispensable. Without it, firms will not have planning security for further investments. Offshore wind farms have long development phases and require large upfront investments. The smaller the number of grid connection points with available capacity, though less competition there will be between project in the auction system – and greater competition is an objective towards lower generation costs. If the grid becomes a bottleneck, cost reductions will not come so quickly.

Added value and industry policy The further positive development of the offshore sector depends on the future auction system. At present, nearly 20,000 people work in the industry. Siemens has © Stiftung OFFSHORE-WINDENERGIE | Jan Oelker 2009

JWPA Japan Wind Power Association By the end of 2015 Japan has 59.6MW of offshore wind power at the end of 2014, including two 2MW and one 7MW floating wind turbines. Japanese government fixed 36 JPY/kWh of feed-in-tariff for offshore wind power in March 2014. This is 1.6 times higher than the onshore tariff 22JPY/kWh. There are further 1,380MW of offshore wind power projects currently under planning. Several projects shall start construction within a couple of years, but, a lack of jack-up ships for turbine installation work is a big problem for Japan.

The offshore wind power experience in Japan is divided to several stages. Offshore wind in Japan started at near-shore locations. Two 600kW Vestas turbines were installed by the local government at Setana Port in the Hokkaido in December 2003. Another five 2MW Vestas turbines were installed by Sumitomo Trading Co. at Sakata Port in the Yamagata prefecture in January 2004. Sumitomo sold the site to Japan Renewable Energy Co. in April 2015.

Dolphin foundations were used for both projects.

Commercial developers, especially Komatsuzaki Co., the local wind power developer in the Ibaraki prefecture, have taken the initiative in the second stage. Seven 2MW turbines with downwind 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 2010. 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 100m offshore from the Akita port in January 2015.

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 jacketgravity hybrid foundation by J-Power 1.5km 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 second hand 100kW wind turbine was modified by FHI from upwind to downwind rotor. It was anchored 1km offshore from Kabashima in July 2012. It operated for about one year and was dismantled in June 2013. Then anemometer tower was installed instead of the wind turbine on its floater. A replacement Hitachi 2MW downwind rotor wind turbine was putted on a spur type floater at the sea by Toda Co. and it was anchored in its place in October 2013. The electricity produced by this wind turbine was used for producing hydrogen in 2015. The hydrogen was fed for fuel cells which motored the maintenance boat.

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 three-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) was installed on a V shape, semi-sub type floater at the Onahama Port quay in summer in 2015. Then, it was carried to 20km offshore and was anchored in September in 2015.

A Hitachi 5MW downwind rotor wind turbine on a advanced compressed spur type floater will be added in spring 2016.

The NEDO has started 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 applying innovative technologies worldwide by 2017. NEDO conducted feasibility study in 2015. They are to decide go/no go by March 2016.

The fourth stage is led by commercial projects.

13 projects, representing in total 1,380MW, are now under development. All these commercial projects will use fixed foundations. Ten of these projects, with a total of 780MW, will be installed near the port where it is easy to get development permission and take the fishermen’s rights into consideration. The other three projects, with a total of 600MW, will be located at open sea. Several biddings were conducted by local governments in 2015.

Unfortunately, there are still many obstacles for the offshore wind power development in Japan. The most troublesome problem is a lack of jack-up ships, and the cabotage. Developers could not estimate the cost and schedule of the offshore construction work, because of the uncertainty of these problems. Therefore, all projects in Japan remain at the feasibility study stage and no one can

NWEA Netherlands Wind Energy Association NWEA is the wind energy branch organisation for the Netherlands. 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 250 members in the offshore supply chain, ranging from international businesses to small independent companies in the wind industry, including operators, suppliers, utilities, developers, research institutions and other related industries and organisations. We provide united representation and a central point of information for our members.

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 Princess Amalia Wind Farm, have a installed capacity of 228MW. Since September 2015 the project Luchterduinen has become operational and comprises 43 turbines, 129MW. Gemini, 85km north of the Netherlands, will become operational in 2017 with an installed capacity of 600MW. ‘In-shore’ the project of Westermeerwind has been realised in the IJsselmeer and has a capacity of 100MW. In September 2013 the ‘Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth’ was signed by the Dutch Government, the Dutch industry sector, employers, unions and NGOs. In this agreement the renewable energy target is set at 14% for 2020 and 16% in 2023 (currently 4%). A substantial role is attributed to offshore wind adding 700MW per year for five years. The first tender will probably be openend in the first quarter of 2016. In 2015 a new law for offshore wind energy is agreed by the Parliament which regulates the agreements made for offshore wind energy in the Energy Agreement. The minister chooses a new tender system with plots wherein the winner with the lowest MWhour price will be granted both the concession to build as well as the ‘SDE+’ subsidy for 15 years. This tender system is unique in the world and the different parties in the offshore wind industry are very content with this new system.

The rollout scheme for offshore wind will be regulated in the ‘Scenario for offshore wind energy’ which will be set by the Minister of Economic Affairs. In this scenario an additional 700MW is to be tendered in the next five years, totalling 3,500MW to be operational in 2023. The grid to

onshore including the transformer stations will be built by TenneT. The scenario together with the new ‘STROOM’ law, in which TenneT is appointed as the Transmission System Operator (TSO) to build the offshore grid, will be regulated by the Parliament in late 2015 or early 2016.

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.

NWEA will continue to assist its members and the government to realise these ambitions throughout 2016.

RenewableUK

In 2015, about 1.4GW of offshore wind capacity was commissioned across the UK, allowing the sector to hit the 5GW mark. This is a 38% increase from the previous year, which highlights that the UK is firmly maintaining its position as the world leader in the sector. The development side of the industry has seen even more activity with over 7GW of projects consented (including Dogger Bank Creyke Beck, the largest project ever consented) throughout 2014/2015.

A number of projects, namely Dudgeon, Race Bank, Rampion and Burbo Bank extension, are expected to start construction next year, paving the way for additional capacity. Meanwhile, Neart na Gaiothe and East Anglia One were the two offshore wind projects which were successful in securing a CfD contract in the first allocation round in February.

The main challenge for the offshore wind sector is now to receive the political certainty and clarity necessary to give confidence to the entire sector. There are, in total, more than 10GW of consented projects and about 16GW still in the development pipeline. Stability in the policy environment is needed to ensure these projects secure funding and for the supply chain to confidently invest for the future.

The UK appears to be on track to deliver the electricity portion of its overall 15% EU renewable energy target by 2020. Offshore wind is expected to contribute around 13GW by the end of the decade towards fulfilling that target.

However, the EU’s decision not to set an explicit renewable energy target out to 2030 leaves the sector at the mercy of a number of unknowns which may jeopardise confidence in the future.

The policy world has been, as usual, very active: Defra has been consulting on the designation of the 2nd tranche of Marine Conservation Zones and on the Programme of Measures to implement the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Further relevant developments in this area have been the launch of a ‘Fitness Check’ of the Habitats and Wild Birds Directives by the European Commission, and the entering into a more active phase of DECC’s Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment 3.

20

Offshore wind deployment is also moving ahead in a number of other European countries, which has meant the sector now exceeds 10GW of capacity across the EU. Outside the UK, deployment of offshore wind has mainly taken place in the North Sea, thanks to increasing activity from Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Growing neighbouring markets mean increased competition to secure inward investments, but also provide business opportunities for the UK-based supply chain. The UK nevertheless still seems to offer the best prospects in terms of supply chain investments, as shown by last year’s key investment decisions to locate two manufacturing hubs in Hull and on the Isle of Wight. This is expected to also benefit the wider supply chain.

During these lively times RenewableUK has supported the sector with a range of initiatives: from publishing the annual ‘Offshore Wind Project Timelines’ and ‘State of the Industry’ reports to engaging with Government and stakeholders on a number of policy issues including the ones stated here. Looking into next year, one big date for the calendar is June 2016 when RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind Conference and Exhibition is set to take place in Manchester.

European Wind Energy Masters The ongoing focus for sustainability at a world wide scale as well as the demand in research and development for wind power technology has given way to the European Wind Energy Master Programme (EWEM) to prepare the world’s future engineers. EWEM is the joint effort between the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (UniOl). Each university has a strong background of research and development done in relation to the programme tracks. The programme aims to train professionals to become resourceful problem solvers in a highly international environment, with the necessary knowledge in theoretical and applied sciences in order to become the vanguard of the wind power sector across many specializations.

The EWEM programme offers four tracks to cater to the interests and strengths of prospective students, who will attend two to four of the universities involved. The tracks offer specialised knowledge and possibility to join the sector with a high level of competence.

Rotor Design This track focuses on rotor aerodynamics, aero-elasticity, along with mechanics of materials and manufacturing processes for the design and optimization of wind turbine rotors.

Offshore Engineering The offshore engineering track focuses on the development of the design process of offshore support structures, hydrodynamic models of soil, wind and waves as well as optimizing the layout of offshore wind farms.

22

Wind Physics The wind physics track offers knowledge on theoretical and experimental fluid dynamics in close correlation to the wind energy field, the governing meteorological concepts and analysis of the interaction between the topography, atmospheric boundary layer and energy yield in a wind farm.

Electric Power Systems The track focuses on the physical components of power systems, electronics, HDVC systems and control theory, with a specialization within the fields of electric power systems for offshore wind farms, offshore grids or technical and economic integration aspects of intermittent generation.

Technology Developments Within the four different tracks, there have been developments with focus in the current wind power industry from improvements of existing technologies to the study, application and implementation of new ones. In the last year, a special focus was given to Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). A new aerodynamic model for VAWT is in the works, which will serve as a design tool for developing the optimal rotor and airfoil designs. Furthermore, a modelling of the operation of a vertical axis rotor in wave and current conditions is being developed to analyze the exchange process and determine an optimal fluid dynamic design.

Another topic being researched is the development of a first order pressure perturbation model for the rotor blades, to determine the aerodynamic loads in most working conditions.

The scope of the applications developed in this Master’s programme is not constrained only to VAWT. To further the

optimisation of wind farm layouts a study of the stability of the vortex wake is being done to determine the ‘ground’ effect that current offshore wind farms are under due to the proximity of the rotors to the surface of the sea.

As far as new wind turbine technology being developed goes, the students are developing a dynamic simulation of a 10 and 20MW offshore wind turbines within an upscaling PhD project. An aeroelastic simulation of these wind turbines has already been done and now the feasibility of these designs must be corroborated from a dynamics and control point of view.

The Association for Students of EWEM (ASE ‘Aeolus’) brings in another level of depth to the programme by creating a bridge between the students and the industry through excursion to the companies, guest lectures and case studies. As more students graduate each year, the association also puts great effort in maintaining a network of alumni working across the multidisciplinary fields of wind energy. Being part of this study programme and of the student association ensures that one is fully equipped with the knowledge, tools, network and ambition to thrive in a flourishing yet highly competitive field of work.

23

The EWEM programme has been a major platform for engineers joining the ranks of the wind power sector. Its broad range in specialisations and its international factor brings in very talented people from all over the world, each cohort consisting of students from 20-30 different

countries. In addition to the relations that are built among future engineers, the programme offers the possibility to meet and network with important figures in the field. For one, the Master Thesis is done in conjunction with two EWEM partnering universities with the possibility to involve members from the industry.

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 arrived in 2014 and has installed turbines on Westermost Rough and Gode Wind 2+1.

Furthermore, A2SEA operates and manages a number of 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 up to 125m length which can be launched, or taken out of the water for repair, via a Synchrolift ship lift.

To date more than 6,500 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 An der Faehre 2 27809 Lemwerder Germany T +49 42 167 330 F +49 42 167 3311 5 E info@abeking.com I www.abeking.com abekingundrasmussen

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.

Contact: Nils Olschner Sales Director

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.

The concept of the Crew Transfer Vessel 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.

Based on the well-proven Crew Transfer Vessel a complete new design is currently taking shape: the 27m SWATH@A&R Crew and Base Transfer Vessel. It accommodates ten service technicians plus crew for up to seven days and can still board directly at the boat landings with low impact.

The service team has the same tools and spare parts at hand as they 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 eight tonnes. All of this makes their vessels extremely versatile which offer a great flexibility to the operator.

33

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 Transfer

Vessel allows to offshore wind turbines in the North Sea with maximum wave heights up to 2.0 - 2.5m.

Our innovative modular offshore deck equipment provides customers an increased choice in fit-for-purpose barges or vessels to suit best project requirements rather than generic solutions.

Our (basket) carousels consist of a modular design and have variable product carrying capacities to suit high voltage cable, array cable, umbilical and flexible pipe project requirements starting from 500 tonnes up to 7,000 tonnes. The basket carousels can easily be converted into carousels and can be installed on a wide range of vessels or barges, whichever is the most appropriate for the job.

This innovative modular equipment can be used for subsea product installation, storage, transportation and reduces cost and risk for customers. Its modularity allows flexible product loading

and installation schedules and an increased choice in product installation methodologies. Our standard modular (basket) carousel system consists of a (basket) carousel, an integrated grillage for sheerleg lifting or SPMT mobilisation, loading tower complete with HPUs, loading arm, five, ten or 15 tonnes tower tensioner and control system and ten tonnes deck tensioner.

Our team has several years of offshore experience with subsea product handling and installation activities.

Some of our recent projects • EMAS AMC Australia has contracted Blue Offshore to provide a 15m outer diameter basket carousel and related equipment for the transportation and installation of offshore umbilical in

Australia in February 2016. This project is a perfect example of the modularity of Blue Offshore’s equipment. The 23m outer diameter basket carousel has been reduced to 15m outer diameter and the height of the basket carousel from 8m to 4m. In addition, the loading tower has been reduced in height to match the new configuration.

The basket carousel loaded with umbilical will be remobilised from the transportation vessel onto the installation vessel in one single lift, as the 15m outer diameter basket carousel has a grillage that supports lifting the basket carousel loaded with product up to a total product weight of 1,000 tonnes. Blue Offshore also provides support for mobilisation of equipment, and for loading and installation of the umbilical.

• Blue Offshore provided Stemat/VBMS/ NKT with a flexible storage facility, consisting of a 5,000 tonnes, 23m outer diameter basket carousel and related cable handling equipment.

• Since 2011, Blue Offshore assists Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke (NSW) with its cable installation activities. Our provided cable installation equipment includes a modular 5,000 tonnes, 23m outer diameter basket carousel, loading tower and other associated equipment for cable loading, transport and installation.

• Blue Offshore has supported Subsea 7’s installation of flexible pipe for Statoil’s Oseberg Delta 2 project by providing a modular system, consisting of a 5,000 tonnes modular basket carousel mobilised on the Normand Oceanic.

Everyone knows the cost of Offshore Wind needs to be reduced to keep the support of the governments and to make it compatible with other energy sources in the future. One major cost in the offshore wind which can be saved on in many projects is noise mitigation.

The best way to reduce noise emissions is not to generate noise in the first place, which is exactly why vibro driving can be a good alternative installation method.

Add to this the much faster penetration speed of the vibro compared by other installation methods. CAPE Holland takes this cost reduction one step further, by integrating a certified lifting and upending function to the vibro hammer.

Suddenly the tool can contribute greatly in speeding up the installation process by negating the need for tool changes between installation steps.

The Vibro Lifting Tool CAPE Holland developed the Vibro Lifting Tool in response to the increasing demand for certified upending Vibro equipment for handling and lifting within the offshore market.

The in-house design results in a fully Lloyd’s Register certified (CLAME) lifting appliance. This unique tool combines the vibro driver/extractor with a certified lifting and handling tool and is therefore named a Vibro Lifting Tool (VLT). The VLT equipped with the upending fork has the ability to pick up a stored pile, upend it to vertical position, lift it to the correct position and drive it down, whilst correcting verticality during driving (if necessary), separate lifting tool, a pile gripper or seabed installation frame.

Advantages of the Vibro Lifting Tool • Lloyd’s Register certified (CLAME) • No need for noise mitigation • No need for a gripper or seabed installation frame • Shortening the required working window per operation • Increased safety by fewer tool changes • Less handling • Reduce in deck space • Upending • Integrated live verticality measuring system • Extraction • Built for subsea operation (<500m) For more information please visit www.cape-holland.com

CPNL Engineering

Leading the way and setting the standard for offshore cable protection systems CPNL Engineering has constructively worked towards a trustworthy reputation in terms of product quality, reliability and high standards of service. The company finds itself among a highly selective group of engineers and suppliers with DNV-GL certified cable protection systems for monopiles and I-/J-tubes and installation solutions. The consistent and constructive design and development approach of CPNL has contributed to a truly diverless system with recognised reliable fit for new installations – a measured 2.5 to 3 cables per day –, as well as best retrofit in O&M installations.

CPNL Engineering BV Roald Amundsenstraat 56 7825 AV Emmen The Netherlands T +31 59 121 2160 E info@cpnl.eu I www.cpnl.eu cpnl-engineering Contact: Marloes Tuk Commercial Manager

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 the additional – undesired – expenses?

52

The best approach is to avoid such situations actively, by assessing the projects accurately and by providing adequate mechanical cable protection.

CPNL Engineering is proud to be an innovative engineer and supplier with DNV-GL certified cable protection systems for both monopile entry and I-/Jtubes. The systems are based on the coreproduct articulated pipe. This product has been successfully used for decades and

with the redesign of CPNL, it is 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 protection system in a highly controlled way over the shoot. Furthermore, the reliable fit and retrofit of the system in existing and new projects have been reviewed 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. A ROV can retrieve the cable protection and a crane takes over this activity to pull the cable onboard for dissembly 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 could perform the same activities 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 going offshore to be of assistance in the first days of installation activities.

In the end, it is all about this reliable connection against the best possible cost. Customers of CPNL recognise the optimal balance between price and quality supplied to them. A review has indicated that CPNL contributed to a CAPEX cost reduction of 1 to 3 % and a positive impact on OPEX expenses.

The range of products and services: • DNV-GL certified articulated pipes (coated and uncoated); • DNV-GL certified centralisers; • DNV-GL certified bellmouths; • DNV-GL certified regular cable protection system; • DNV-GL certified monopile entry system; • DNV-GL certified spreader beam with compressed-air release and lifting gear; • Flange connections for cable joints and bend restrictors; • Cable crossing solutions; • Airtight hang-offs; • Cable specified engineering solutions: from concept to product.

CPNL has offices in the Netherlands, Germany and UK. With these offices CPNL offers national content to the customer.

53

The reference list of CPNL has grown in 2015 with export and fibre optic cable solutions next to array cable solutions. For new installations: RWE’s 295MW Nordsee Ost was successfully competed in 2014

– two months ahead of schedule. In O&M CPNL has supported many organisations in solving project-specific issues, whilst facing challenging timeframes.

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, 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.

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.

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

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.

Planning approval for a berth adjacent to the heavy-duty platform was completed this year. This will provide another 180 metres of quay space at Cuxport, hopefully from 2017 onwards, and will be able 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.

55

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Cuxport in particular, with its capacity to handle special tasks. In the course of the establishment and expansion of offshore wind farms, safeguarding the operations of the wind turbines, which have been installed out at sea and are subject to extreme weather conditions, will increasingly become the focus of attention during the next few years.

The advantage of being very close to the wind farms and access to the North Sea without any locks or reliance on tides were enough to persuade one provider of independent solutions for the offshore wind power industry; it has set up its business at the SteubenhĂśft Terminal, which belongs to Cuxport GmbH.

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 over 40 Twin Axe 2610 vessels, a Cable Layer for Van Oord based on the Damen Offshore Carrier and a second Offshore Carrier for Maersk Supply Service, operated by DeepOcean.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

specially-equipped vessel is being built at Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania.

Owned and operated by Maersk Supply Service, the vessel will become the latest addition to the 60-plus strong Maersk offshore support vessel fleet.

Damen really believes in the new design, a result of continuous R&D efforts.

Because of the flexibility of the concept, the customer can incorporate a large number of purpose-specific demands to suit specific needs. This particular vessel has been adapted in close cooperation with clients, drawing on the expertise of all three companies to create a state-ofthe-art Offshore Construction Vessel.

The versatile new vessel will be well suited for installation and burial projects

using its 7,000 tonne carousel from landfall to deepwater, including in remote geographical locations.

The DOC 8500 has been developed as a flexible platform for both transport and installation work offshore. Its bow and slender hull optimise sea keeping in rough seas and suppress slamming. The vessel will run on either MGO or HFO and has DP2 capabilities in line with offshore market preferences. Its high ondeck cable carrying capacity makes it particularly competitive as a cable layer, while the vessel has also been optimised

incorporating a larger wheelhouse and moving the accommodation slightly towards the stern. Additional features included a moonpool on the foredeck for hydrographic survey and extra fendering on the sides for increased protection.

Seazip 3 increases the owner’s offshore wind farm support capability, whilst Seazip 4 marks the entry of the versatile FCS 2610 into the oil and gas market.

She has been followed by two other FCS 2610 vessels, one for Groen Offshore, Guard & Support operated for Wintershall E&P in the Danish and Dutch North Sea

Damen Shipyards Group Damen Shipyards Group operates more than 32 shipyards and related companies worldwide.

Consistent quality and short delivery times, du to standardised 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 seriesbuilt, standard-type vessels, Damen is also active in the designing and building specialised workboats and patrol vessels, such as buoy laying vessels, pipe-laying barges, naval and patrol vessels and other large seagoing workboats.

for shallow water operations, coming complete with a seven-point mooring system and the ability to take the ground fully loaded.

The 138m length, 27.5m breadth DOC 8500 features 2,200 m2 of unobstructed deck of 20T/m2 load capacity with ro-ro capability. The 9,300dwt vessel will have a top speed of 12 knots.

Marine Access Damen has responded to increasing demands for marine access solutions – which are set to further increase as more and more wind farms are constructed at greater distances from the shore – developing a broad-ranging portfolio.

Included in this is everything from the FCS 2610, to larger crew vessels with transfer systems, all the way up to the revolutionary Walk-to-Work vessel; with its own wide range of energy maintenance solutions and personnel transfer options.

All the solutions in Damen’s marine access range have in common a focus on improved personnel conditions, offshore logistics and reduced cost of operation.

Twin Axe 2610 Damen continued to deliver a number of Twin Axe Fast Crew Suppliers (FCS) 2610 during 2015. Seazip Offshore Service, which received two FCS 2610 vessels from Damen in 2013, took delivery of a further two – Seazip 3 and Seazip 4. The vessels are updated versions of the FCS 2610, Damen having taken on board industry feedback,

and another for Atlantic Maritime, under charter with a Norwegian oil and gas company off the coast of Oman.

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.

Vibrating technology in a highly competitive market We are market leader in developing and supplying the right foundation equipment, to take the full advantage of the current energy change. Dieseko Group offers vibro technology with lowest noise emission levels for sea life and environment. Our technology is also highly efficient and time saving. We have our own in house R&D department and benefit from long-term relationships with geotechnical experts.

PVE 300MU. How vibrating techno­ logy evolved by the introduction of a new type of vibratory hammer In the offshore wind market saving time means gaining money, as total project time decreases. This is exactly the case with our new vibratory hammer: the PVE

300MU. This hammer does not only reduce driving time, but also saves on handling time. The upending vibratory hammer brings horizontal stored piles into the vertical position from which they are lifted, positioned and vibrated in one sequence.

Benefits PVE 300MU The main benefits of the PVE 300MU are considerable timesavings, reducing deck space occupancy and cost efficiency, without additional equipment such as separate internal lifting tools.

A proven track record with more than 250 piles are upended and driven by our PVE 300MU offshore.

Monopiles XXL The foundations and production capabili­ties of monopiles have taken a

lift and recent designs show diameters of 10 metres for future XXL monopiles.

Dieseko Group designed vibro equipment to drive XXL piles.

Vibratory hammer XL: The PVE Giant and Giant Vibro Drill The PVE Giant is a spectacular modular vibratory hammer and the perfect equipment for driving monopiles XXL. In this innovating design individual gear cases can be coupled up to a total eccentric moment of 2,000 kgm.

Test results The recent test report of the Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator programme showed that vibratory piling is up to ten times faster and less noisy, compared to the conventional method of impact hammering.

‘Flexibility on Demand – One Type Various Accommodation Solutions’ This concept is based on various offshore-related project experiences.

The company realised that the concept of offshore accommodation containers should be more tailormade, to be able to react flexible to the customers needs.

Therefore, the company started to work towards flexible standard 20ft. units that could quickly and easily be refitted into the desired shape and function.

The flexibility of the 20ft units provide several advantages: • Easy handling due to 20ft dimensions and a weight of only 7.7t.

• Low Transport costs based on ISONorm containers with CSC approval.

• Space saving as all containers can be stacked up to four high.

• Extendable, all containers can be linked with stairway and gangway containers.

Therefore, a complete accommodation facility can be configured, planned and assembled on site.

• Highest quality standards and all necessary certifications as all containers have the DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079-1, DNV 2.7-2 certification and are all ‘Made in Germany.’

Automated quality control in the production We have developed several scanners with the purpose of securing quality in running production whether we talk about rotor blades, towers or foundations.

72

Typically, in rotor blades, the scanners will find hidden flaws, invisible delami­na­tions and disbonded joints that may jeopardise blade integrity, reducing turbine yield, efficiency and lifetime. When it comes to towers and foundations, a scan will show hidden weld defects that may weaken the structure.

Automated ultrasonic inspection assures a fast and precise quality control, and offers tremendous time

savings, excellent documentation, and permanent storage of data.

We can also optimise the inspection work in your production, both for towers and blades.

On-site inspection and testing services We have multiple inspection and testing solutions for both on- and offshore wind turbine components. All of them focus on increased quality as well as reduced risks and costs.

Examples • Drones for visual inspection of blades • Remote operated magnetic wheel crawlers for fast weld inspection and corrosion mapping on towers • Permanently installed monitoring systems on foundations.

These are just a small sample size of our range of solutions. Therefore, whatever your challenge is, please contact us with any assignment and hear what we can do for you. Our solutions cover the entire wind turbine from bottom of foundation to blade tip.

About FORCE Technology FORCE Technology was founded in 1940. We are a leading technological consultancy company with subsidiaries in Sweden, Norway, China, Singapore and the United States.

Fred. Olsen Windcarrier Lifting offshore wind Fred. Olsen Windcarrier provides innovative and tailored services for the transport, installation, and maintenance of offshore wind parks. The company offers a modern fleet operated by an experienced and dedicated crew along with safe, efficient marine operations with highest HSEQ standards.

Fred. Olsen Windcarrier offers wide-ranging, flexible and bespoke solutions through a single contract, working together with related companies Global Wind Service and Universal Foundation.

Fred. Olsen Windcarrier Fred. Olsens gate 2, P.O. Box 581 0152 Oslo Norway T +47 22 341 000 F +47 22 341 182 E commercial@windcarrier.com I www.windcarrier.com

As well as having two supreme and flexible jack-up installation vessels in Brave Tern and Bold Tern, the company provides specialist engineering and project management expertise, some of the industry’s most experienced technicians, a fleet of high performance service vessels and a reputation for getting the job done safely, efficiently and reliably.

Built on 168 years of offshore and marine experience, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier was established in 2008 and took delivery of the two self-propelled jack-up vessels three years ago.

The company has since gained unprecedented experience installing the latest generation turbines including Alstom’s 6MW Haliade 150 at the Belwind site, at the time the largest offshore wind turbine ever to be positioned in sea waters.

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 5MW turbines.

Contact: Martin Degen Commercial Manager

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 ten 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 transportation and installation for the 80x 3.6MW Siemens wind turbines.

2015 saw the launch of Fred. Olsen Windbase, a game-changer for offshore O&M, which will significantly reduce the cost of offshore wind farms.

In 2015 Fred. Olsen Windcarrier undertook several short O&M fast track projects across numerous locations in Germany, with project assignment to execution within a short time frame.

These projects were carried out smoothly and efficiently.

Two more of Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s Bayards are working on Borkum Riffgat. The remaining Bayards on a variety of short-term specialist projects in a range of locations throughout Northern Europe.

Meanwhile, three of Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s Bayard crew transfer vessels (CTVs) have been employed in UK waters at Walney 2 offshore wind farm, where they will continue working on operations and maintenance for the duration of their three-year contract.

73

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.

World-class track record Our scope of work consists of EPCI contracting for foundations, monopile installation, pre-piling & post-piling jacket foundations, wind turbine logistics & installation and maintenance services during operational lifetime of wind farms.

GeoSeaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jack-up platforms include Innovation, Neptune, Thor, Goliath, Vagant, Buzzard, De Zeebouwer, Halewijn, Tijl II, and Kobe. They are assigned to projects around the globe, including on the North Sea, the Middle East and Australia. Our business also

covers more traditional activities such as soil investigation, drilling of large diameter piles and directional drilling.

Safety: Our first priority Safety is the key factor in any successful offshore project. Working at sea requires a safe and healthy environment for all of us. GeoSea adheres to strict weather and sea state condition regulations, and we make our safety performance visible through transparent reporting.

Certified quality Our plant, platforms and vessels may be huge and the offshore constructions we build may be enormous, but the tolerances we respect, the accuracy we aim at and the precision of our realizations are unequalled. An offshore wind turbine tower may rise to the skies but its foundations are piled at vertical and relative tolerances measured in millimetres. This quality is guaranteed by numerous certificates, incl. ISO 9001, VCA** and OHSAS 18001.

Continuous innovation To better serve our clients, we continuously develop new techniques, methods and tools in our own research and development department. This approach has made us a competitive bidder and cost-efficient partner. We often are the first in the world to propose

new solutions with net gain in safety, working time and accuracy. As an example, among many others, GeoSea developed several seabed templates, for accurate installation of piles for jacket foundation of different sizes and configurations.

GustoMSC B.V. The Pioneers of Offshore Engineering GustoMSC is an independent, world renowned and leading design and engineering company, thanks to the vast knowledge and expertise of our dedicated professionals and our close relationships with the most influential players in the offshore energy market. GustoMSC has designed the vast majority of the installation jack-up vessels operating or under construction to date. We are a world market leader in jack-up designs and integrated equipment. Our proven designs reduce the new-build risk.

The end result, a stable and solid platform to work from, increases operability and reduces operating risks. Where the jack-ups serve both the turbine installation and foundation installation market, floating solutions are primarily used for transport and foundation installation.

GustoMSC B.V. Karel Doormanweg 35 3115 JD Schiedam The Netherlands T +31 10 288 3000 F +31 10 288 3001 E info@gustomsc.com I www.gustomsc.com GustoMSC Contact: Jan Mark Meeuwisse Sales Manager

for an installation vessel. Operating both in port and offshore, the crane needs to be positioned on a safe, stable and solid platform able to withstand the harsh environment during transit and the leg to bottom impact during jacking installation conditions. To enable safe operations on remote sites, all year survival capability is required - the key to successful operations for your project. A safe, stable and solid platform will enable a more economical logistic chain process by reducing expensive offshore time, downtime and thus costs. Our solutions can be customised to fit the specific logistic and installation needs of any wind farm or contractor strategy.

Best in class solutions As for the future, we foresee that not all installation vessels will be jack-ups. Due

to the increasing weights of foundations, a diversification of foundation installation methods is expected. The heavier foundations are typically on the edge or beyond the crane capacity of the largest installation jack-ups. These foundations can also be installed by floating installation vessels. Based on a series of recent successful installation projects, the GustoMSC designed Oleg Strashnov has shown that crane vessels may be the proper answer for the challenge posed by the ever increasing foundation weights. With the successful SEA and NG series jack-ups, and the Constructor Class heavy lift vessels, GustoMSC is determined to set the new standards for current, nearby and future demands of the offshore renewables market.

Offshore wind installation from safe, stable and solid platforms We have gained a wealth of experience in the offshore wind industry by having a variety of installation jack-up designs operating in the market, each with its own characteristics. Our range runs from small non-propelled units (SEA series) to the large self-propelled vessels (NG series), in which we have incorporated our over 50 years of experience.

Characteristics of these units are survival capability, transportation of heavy, large and long components, storage space for spares and tools and customised accommodation. It comes equipped with autonomous cranes with sufficient hook heights and DP-1 or DP-2 for positioning next to the foundation and in between power cables spread on the seabed.

Offshore wind installation cranes The product range for customised offshore wind installation cranes is a result of many years of design and operational experience and based on the company’s drive to design and deliver new solutions that add value to the market’s existing technologies.

The customised crane range includes pedestal cranes and mast cranes for both jack-up vessels and floating vessels. The lifting capacity of these cranes ranges up to 2,500mt. In addition to the low construction weight, small footprint and minor tail swing of the existing Huisman cranes, available value adding features are a fully electric variable frequency drive system, the extensive lifting height, the small operational minimum radius and the

possibility to install the crane around the leg of a jack-up vessel.

As an example of the success of this new range of wind turbine installation cranes, Huisman was awarded the contract to build the world’s largest Leg Encircling Crane, capable to lift 1500mt at 34m for Seajacks’ new build jack-up vessel Seajacks Scylla in 2013, which will be operational Q1 2016.

Customised Huisman cranes already in use for wind turbine installation include the 600mt Pedestal Cranes onboard GeoSea’s Neptune and MPI Resolution and 300mt Pedestal Cranes onboard of the GMS Endeavour and Seajacks’ Kraken. Other Huisman cranes mainly used for installation of transition pieces and foundations include the 900mt cranes

onboard Jumbo’s DP2 vessel Jumbo Javelin, the 3,300mt crane onboard Multipurpose Heavy Lift Vessel Rambiz, and the 2,200mt sheerleg Taklift 4.

Wind Turbine Shuttle The Wind Turbine Shuttle, a dynamically positioned, fast sailing (14 knots) SWATH-type installation vessel, is another example of a dedicated offshore wind turbine installation product design. The vessel can carry and install two complete wind turbines in one piece, allowing commissioning and testing to be done onshore and thus reducing installation time offshore. By combining low vessel motions, active heave, roll and pitch compensating systems and a full DP3 system, the wind turbine is kept virtually stationary in relation to the fixed foundation, thus increasing offshore workability.

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.

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 1,700t.

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 operations in safe or hazardous areas as well. 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 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. It features impressive technical figures, being able to lift up to 300t in the air and handle loads down to a water depth of 3,600 m. It is equipped with the active heave compensation system Heavetronic® to compensate the vessel’s motions.

In order to meet the power demands of Heavetronic® the innovative hybrid drive system Pactronic® has been especially adapted for subsea applications.

89

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 1,700t 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.

The product, equipment and supply system portfolio is complemented by a wide service offering, including in-depth safety training on the correct installation and handling of gases. Even after you have completed construction work, you can rely on Linde engineers to help you optimise operations.

Optimised cutting speed with acetylene Nordic Yards asked Linde for support to improve its flame cutting process. Based on an in-depth evaluation of the existing parameters, Linde advised Nordic Yards to switch from ethylene to acetylene.

The results showed that acetylene offered significant process optimisation potential, clearly accelerating the maximum oxyfuel cutting speeds. The switch also made sound financial sense with a sizeable drop in cutting costs.

In concrete terms, the acetylene solution accelerated cutting speeds by between 16% and 60% on straight cuts (depending on the tested material). With bevel cuts, the speed gains were as high as 100%.

Equally impressive were the potential costs savings. With acetylene, Nordic Yards stands to have cost savings of around 51 % on average per shift every year.

Rapid and cost-effective preheating with acetylene In order to enable the production of XL, high-strength steel monopiles, EEW Special Pipe Constructions (SPC)

GmbH needed to maximise the quality of circumferential weld seams. Preheating was the obvious and most effective way of ensuring the necessary quality gains. As acetylene offers clear performance gains over the slower-burning fuel gas propane, Linde engineered a tailor-made acetylene LINDOFLAMM® burner to meet EEW SPC’s specific production conditions.

With LINDOFLAMM®, EEW SPC can enhance the quality of circumferential weld seams, reduce the risk of hydrogen cracking in monopiles and avoid the productivity bottlenecks associated with propane-based preheating. In fact, tests with LINDOFLAMM® show that it reduces preheating at EEW SPC from 75 minutes (based on five rotations) with propane and a standard burner to 30 minutes (based on two rotations) with the custom-developed LINDOFLAMM® burner and acetylene.

Besides involvement in wave- and tidal energy, the RENT team is carrying out research for the hydrodynamic design of fixed and floating offshore wind turbines and wind turbine installation and maintenance vessels. The challenges are very similar to those of the offshore industry: safe and economic design, production, transportation, installation, maintenance, repair and removal.

94

To further assist the offshore wind market MARIN is running multiple Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). Here we give two examples.

WiFi JIP The objective of the 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.

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 on 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. Both Joint Industry Projects are still running and open for new participants.

Mistras Group Ltd MISTRAS Group One Source for Asset Protection Solutions MISTRAS is a leading ‘one source’ global provider of asset protection solutions evaluating the structural integrity of critical energy, industrial and public infrastructure. Mission-critical services and solutions are delivered worldwide to provide asset life extension, improved productivity & profitability, compliance with safety & environmental regulations, and enhanced risk management operational decisions. MISTRAS uniquely combines its industry-leading products & technologies; 24/7 online monitoring; mechanical integrity & NDT services; and its proprietary data management & analysis software to provide comprehensive and competitive products, systems and services solutions from a single provider.

NDT MISTRAS has an exceptionally wide range of advanced NDT solutions. Whilst radiography (RT) remains the mainstay for inspection for new welds (MISTRAS uses both film and CR), the use of Radiography Replacement Automated Ultrasonic Inspection (usually combined TOFD/PA) is increasing. With no radiation present, work may continue during inspection. MISTRAS’ Ultraview AUT inspection provides an image like RT, but can be viewed from three orthogonal directions, clearly showing any repair sites. The procedure conforms to ASME standards, and the MISTRAS TOFD/PA RT Replacement procedure conforms to EN standards.

MISTRAS tubing inspection services offer 5 techniques, including those for fin-fan and “twisted” tubes. Acoustic Emission (AE) testing of both new and in-service assets, including pressure vessels, conforms to the appropriate standards, and over 10,000 storage tanks have been evaluated using TankPAC™ whilst still containing the normal contents - an essential maintenance prioritisation and planning tool that avoids the immense cost of opening/cleaning tanks for unnecessary inspections.

as scaffolding and mobile elevating work platforms, as it creates minimal disruption, delivers fast & efficient mobilisation, and uses no equipment that needs to remain on site overnight. No other solution offers this level of site security and safety.

Monitoring MISTRAS is the world leader in Acoustic Emission (AE) technology offering both testing services and continuous monitoring systems & support. Unlike physical measurements such as displacement and strain, AE is unique in that it detects and locates active material damage in real-time, often at the microstructure level, so the results can be used to directly assess the effect of loading and ageing on structural integrity. Coupled with physical monitoring, AE allows the correlation of structural loading with any resulting

damage (either directly or indirectly).

This improves the understanding of any causes of degradation, or confirms the structure is continuing to perform under service loading without significant damage development. In some cases, a change to process parameters or loading resulting from the improved understanding prevents future damage development, resulting in extended life and improved safety. AE sensors attached to the structure and monitored by a local AE system record the relevant emissions released by structures during stress. The nature of this stressing and the appropriate monitoring envelope is interdependent. Monitoring requires sufficient time or loading cycles to allow for confident identification of damage, or longer periods/repeat testing are needed to establish rate of change or deterioration.

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 10.5m. There are no restrictions on access caused by tides, locks or bridges. Within a radius of 30nm there are five offshore wind park projects which are in operation, under construction or having received official approval. 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.

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: 100,000 m² for the installation of wind farms Completed in 2013, the Offshore Terminal South proved its capacity in 2014/2015 during the installation of the OWF EnBW Baltic 2. The terminal was used for the delivery, storage, preassembly and transhipment of the 80 wind turbines. The whole project was completed in summer 2015 and officially

inaugurated in September 2015.

While the EnBW Baltic 2 project was finalised successfully, another one already waited for its kick-off: The Offshore Windfarm ‘Wikinger’ with 70 turbines is scheduled to start construction works at the beginning of 2016. The project will benefit from the special features of the southern Offshore Terminal: A water depth of 10.5m, a quay length of about 600m, a bearing capacity of max. 50t and a RoRo ramp which can be used for the delivery of wind turbine components.

Moreover a warehouse with 1,500m² and an insulated warehouse measuring 740m² are available for the storage of spare parts, tools, equipment and sensitive electro technical parts. Finally, the projects offices are placed directly on the terminal area which results in an improved communication between the

Further Port Extension: Offshore Terminal North and O&M Port While the Southern Offshore Terminal will be utilised until 2017/2018, another offshore project appeared at the horizon, demanding further space and berth line: The OWF Arkona Becken Südost.

Contracts have been concluded in summer 2015 and accordingly Port of Sassnitz will serve as a base port for this project as well. The berth line will be prolonged and areas with a bearing capacity of up to 20t will be provided.

Depending on the scope of work for Arkona Becken Südost the Northern Terminal will be used for offshore operations from 2017 or 2018 onwards.

When having a look at the ports infrastructure and its extension one should not forget operations and maintenance (O&M). Being able to quickly response to potential problems is key to ensure a good performance and availability of the turbine. Against this background Port of Sassnitz commenced construction works for a new O&M port which will be available from 2016/2017. Crew transfer vessels, tugs and supply vessels will be able to use berths 1 and 1a in the future. The berths are located close to the Offshore Terminal South and comprise a total berth length of approx. 303m. The supply of the vessels with e.g. fresh water and bunker fuel will also be possible.

Scaldis is active in five distinct market sectors namely: • Oil and Gas • Renewables • Deconstruction • Civil works • Heavy lifting related to salvage works

118

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 synchronised 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 4,000t. 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: • Increased workability • Lifting capacity of 4,000t • Fully self-propelled • DP2 • 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.

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. In addition the company manage the Umoe Firmus Wavecraft Surface Effect Ship.

Tidal Transit Limited Unit 2, Docking Rural Workshops, Station Road, Docking, Norfolk PE31 8LT Docking United Kingdom T +44 14 855 1876 0 F +44 14 855 1873 3 E charter@tidal-transit.com I www.tidal-transit.com tidal-transit-limited @tidaltransit Tidal-Transit-Limited Contact: Leo Hambro Commercial Director

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, Sheringham Shoal, Gwynt y Mor and 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 up to 80 miles offshore.

Since January 2016 Tidal Transit has been managing the Umoe Firmus, an innovative surface effect ship from Umoe Mandal. This vessel is capa ble of transiting at 40+ knots and transferring in 2.5m Hs. The vessel’s first charter will be on Sheringham Shoal.

Tidal Transit also owns and operates a dedicated survey vessel, the Katie Louise.

Windcat Workboats Pushing Energy to the Max Windcat Workboats is Europe’s leading provider of specialist crew transfer vessels to the offshore wind power industry, oil and gas industry and other offshore projects. The unique design of the vessels result in simple, fast, safe and comfortable transfer of personnel and equipment offshore.

With over 1.400.000 safe transfers completed, the vessels have proven to operate in more challenging sea conditions than other competing vessels. Our vessels can be used to transfer crew and equipment, both during construction and O&M, as emergency response, standby or survey vessel but also for dive support and ornithological studies. Windcat Workboats was founded in 2002 and has a long track record in serving the offshore wind industry.

Our vessels have a proven operational track record in this field, having worked in England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Sweden.

In 2015 our fleet has grown to 39 vessels, still the largest fleet of specialist crew transfer vessels for the offshore wind industry globally. With the variety of the vessels we can offer our clients the most suitable vessels with an optimum use for their project.

New build Windcat MK3.5 As offshore wind is moving further away from shore, we have developed a 23 metre vessel to offer greater carrying capacity and comfort at sea

and to give a more economical solution compared with other larger vessels in the industry. After extensive studies we have developed a highly efficient hull shape which combines high performance and carrying capacity with extreme fuel economy and comfort. With the increased size larger pieces of cargo and more fuel can be carried as well.

As with all the vessels, the bow area has been designed to give the best interface with the offshore cranes.

137

WindGrip To improve the safety of offshore transfers and to increase the accessibility of wind turbines, we have developed the WindGrip system (Patent Pending). By increasing the grip on the boat landing, WindGrip will allow transfers in higher

wave conditions than are currently possible.

WindGrip will be useable on all wind farms with a service vessel boat landing.

WindGrip will provide force to the boat landing reducing the required power from the vessel’s propulsion during operation which will significantly reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions.

WindGrip is a simple and proven solution to the challenge of providing safer access in harsh and unpredictable seas.

The hydraulic system has been fitted to ten vessels now, including all recent new vessels and will be fitted to more vessels in future.

Zeeland Seaports Your number one port for the offshore wind industry 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.”

Zeeland Seaports Schelpenpad 2, Harbour no 1151 P.O. Box 132 Terneuzen The Netherlands T +31 11 564 7400 F +31 11 564 7500 E peter.geertse@ zeelandseaports.com I www.zeelandseaports.com @zeelandseaports

Contact: Peter Geertse Commercial Manager

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. In the waters off 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 the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. 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 offer 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 then 20 projects have already proven that Vlissingen is a successful hom e 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 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 company has joined forces with trade & industry to promote the

opportunities presented by VlissingenOost. This will promote the advantages on offer from Zeeland Seaports and all the companies involved in these offshore projects.

Zensor End-to-end integrity management solutions.

By combining yearlong experience with state-of-the-art technology and data acquisition, at Zensor we have developed a unique offering for actively reducing risks and costs associated with operating offshore wind assets, mainly foundation structures. Based in Brussels, the center of Europe, we assist you in taking on even the most challenging matters together with our vast network of partners, both research institutes and expert companies. In all our projects we commit ourselves to providing independent opinions and robust solutions focussing only on reducing the total cost of ownership in your present and future offshore ventures.

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, fatigue, scour.

At Zensor we keep an eye on the whole picture of the offshore wind farm, from design and financing, over construction, O&M towards repowering. The expertise offered consists of: • Advise and support in the design and development phase, including design validation and guidelines • Design, engineering and installation of monitoring packages for long-term follow-up of structural integrity, including sensors and backbone IT system • Continuous (remote) readout of data and data storage • Maintenance and upgrading of software and monitoring infrastructure • Automated interpretation based on acquired data, operational parameters, SCADA and Meteo inputs • Reporting and advise towards maintenance, repair operations,

more efficient operating parameters and design validation • Support in lifetime extension and repowering projects This broad scope allows operators to optimally limit the negative effects of ageing and deterioration for new and existing structures.

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. The focus is on individual structures as well as farm-wide

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.
