The offshore O&M framework agreement revolution
As the offshore industry becomes more robust, stakeholders are starting to see how cooperation, data-sharing, and experiential knowledge are key to successful operations and maintenance framework agreements.
The new paradigm of turnkey maintenance contracts
In today’s offshore wind energy industry, optimisation of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) is greatly influenced by asset owners, turbine manufacturers and vessel owners.
Turbine installation and the levelised cost of energy: Bigger vessel payloads
It doesn’t take an engineering degree to work out that a longer boom can’t lift as much as a shorter one, all things being equal. But the cranes on board SEA INSTALLER and SEA CHALLENGER were dimensioned to lift foundations, so we’re still operating at around half of their full capacity. By 2020, we expect turbine components to top out at some 550 tons, still leaving us with 150 tons of lifting capacity.
