What lurks beneath the surface?Let us help you find out
To ensure best performance for your offshore wind farm FORCE Technology develops tailor made inspection programs and provides consulting services worldwide. Covering every phase from construction to operation we help you protect your investment.
Hidden weld defects may weaken your structure. We find the defects and perform Engineering Critical Assessment to help you minimize the consequences.
Corrosion inside foundations may imply a risk for corrosion fatigue. Documenting the actual state enables correct measurements for proper maintenance.
Hidden flaws, invisible delaminations and disbonded joints may jeopardize blade integrity, reducing turbine yield, efficiency and life time.

About:
Offshore WIND International Business Guide 2015 is

international offshore wind energy industry.

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

AWEAAmerican Wind Energy Association
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is the national trade association representing a broad range of entities with a common interest in encouraging the deployment and expansion of wind energy resources in the United States. AWEA’s members include wind turbine manufacturers, component suppliers, project developers, project owners and operators, financiers, researchers, renewable energy supporters, utilities, marketers, customers, and their advocates.
U.S. offshore wind industry acceleratesOffshore wind is an exciting segment of the U.S. wind
energy industry that has made significant progress over
the last several years.
Projects have been proposed in both state and federal
waters including off of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
as well as in the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. And,
several projects are in the advanced stages of the
development process including Cape Wind’s 468 MW
project in Massachusetts and Deepwater Wind’s 30 MW
demonstration scale project offshore of Block Island,
Rhode Island.
Significant Achievements in 20142014 in particular was marked by an increased pace of
achievements.
In May, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced
a Call for Information and Nominations (Call) seeking
developer interest in acquiring commercial wind leases in
an area offshore of New York.
In June, DOI, BOEM and Massachusetts Governor Deval
Patrick announced plans to auction 742,000 acres
offshore of Massachusetts for wind energy development.
The proposed area is the largest in federal waters and will
nearly double the area available for offshore wind energy
projects in the U.S.
In July, DOI and BOEM announced plans to auction
344,000 acres offshore of New Jersey for wind energy
development.
In August, DOI and BOEM announced for potential
development three additional Wind Energy Areas
totaling approximately 307,590 acres offshore of North
Carolina. These areas will now undergo an Environmental
Assessment before the leasing process begins.
Finally, also in August, DOI and BOEM held an auction for
Maryland’s offshore wind lease areas. U.S. Wind Inc.,
a unit of Italy’s Renexia, was the winner.
Investment in InnovationFor its part, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
continues to make a significant investment in research
and development. The DOE is committed to lowering
the levelized cost of energy and accelerating permitting
timelines.
One example of that: DOE’s announcement in May of the
winners of the next phase of its Offshore Wind Advanced
Technology Demonstration Projects Initiative.
The three projects selected were Fishermen’s Energy’s
25 MW project offshore of Atlantic City, New Jersey;
Dominion Power’s 12 MW project offshore of Virginia

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

DWIADanish Wind Industry Association
A long and comprehensive experience with building offshore wind farms, has led Danish companies working with offshore wind to a world leading position. Based on more than 20 years of offshore knowledge and lessons-learned Danish companies are primed for dealing with the challenges of next generation of offshore wind farms. Many of which will be based in Denmark, where, by the end of 2021, 60% of the electricity will come from the wind.
Wind energy plays a crucial role in the Danish energy
system, and especially offshore wind does its part to
contribute, as Denmark today is the country with the
highest level of wind energy per capita in the world.
During the first 6 months of 2014 wind energy covered
more than 41% of the Danish electricity consumption
and the focus on wind will continue in the coming years
following 2012’s political energy agreement, which
stated that 1,400MW is to be built offshore by end
2021.
The Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is positioned
right in the middle of the development, representing more
than 260 Danish companies across the broad national
supply chain, including market leading manufacturers
as well as installation, transport, service, consulting and
energy companies, all with impressive reference lists.
Denmark enjoys a favourable geographical position
between the windy North Sea and the Baltic Sea, ensuring
strong offshore wind and large areas of shallow water.
Thus, as the Danish onshore capacity is slowly reaching a
maximum, especially offshore wind holds a great potential
for future wind energy generation. The unique offshore
wind conditions have also caught the attention of the EU
and Denmark plays a crucial role in exploiting these ideal
offshore sites, which have made Denmark the market
leader and knowledge hub of the offshore wind sector.
Today, almost 9 out of 10 of the world’s installed offshore
turbines are made by a Danish manufacturer.
Small country, great deeds2014 was another record braking year for the Danish
offshore wind industry. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind installed
the very first V164-8 MW, currently the world’s most
powerful wind turbine, at Østerild National Test Centre for
Large Wind Turbines. At 220 meters in height, the new
turbine is able to cover the electricity consumption of
7,500 average European households.
With an offshore capacity reaching almost 1.3GW,
Denmark comes in on a global second place, where,
following the Danish energy agreement, two new
large-scale offshore wind farms are scheduled to be
completed before 2020 and 2022: The 400MW Horns
Rev 3 in the North Sea and the 600MW Kriegers Flak
wind farm in the Baltic Sea (which will be the first to
interconnect two countries – Denmark and Germany).
An additional 400MW are being developed as near-
shore turbines between 4-20km from shore, enabling
neighbouring citizens and businesses to buy into the
projects, thus ensuring a continuation of the Danish
tradition of local ownership. Also, the near-shore projects
are based on tenders and in charge, acting as a ‘one stop
shop’, is the Danish Energy Agency.
The concept of ‘one stop shop’ means that all questions
and issues relating to the tenders of both the large-scale
wind farms and the near-shore projects are handled in one
place. This also relates to grid connection, which helps to
lower the risk and complexity associated with investing in
the projects.
Removing costs and adding valueCost-wise offshore wind is becoming an ever more
competitive alternative to fossil fuels and is now the
second cheapest technology for electricity production in
Denmark, competitive with new large scale coal plants.
The main challenge of the industry and politicians is
now to increase the value of wind by implementing a
more flexible and widespread use of the large amounts
of renewable electricity from wind farms. Optimising
integration of wind into the Central Heating system and
establishment of additional trans-border transmission
lines are relevant tools in this regard.
Furthermore, in 2014 the opening a new test centre,
Lindø Offshore Renewable Centre (LORC), once again
underpinned the high Danish offshore wind energy
expertise. Bringing together both research and industry,
LORC is paving the way for a new kind of turbine testing
able to ensure full scale nacelle tests directly applicable to
real-life offshore conditions.18
Cost reducing initiatives such as LORC and the Østerild
test stands combined with value-increasing initiatives
such as better and more flexible use of the wind energy
are important factors crucial for reaching Denmark’s goal
of becoming 100% independent of fossil fuels by 2050.
EWEA OFFSHORE 2015Together with EWEA, DWIA is proud to co-organise the
EWEA OFFSHORE 2015 conference in Copenhagen on
10-12 March 2015. EWEA OFFSHORE is the world’s
largest offshore wind energy conference and exhibition
and it illustrates the strength and width of the industry.
With the conference returning to Denmark, EWEA
OFFSHORE 2015 marks the 10-year anniversary of the
event, which started as a pioneering initiative launched
by the Danish Wind Industry Association. The vision was
to support the growing wind industry’s need to showcase
it’s expertise and potential and now, ten years later, the
exhibition illustrates the matureness of the industry and
is an important forum for a wide variety of wind industry
actors.

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

IWEAIrish Wind Energy Association
Established in 1993, the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA) is the national body representing the wind energy sector in Ireland. IWEA is committed to promoting the use of wind energy in Ireland and beyond as an economically viable and environmentally sound alternative to conventional generation and promotes awareness and understanding of wind power as the primary renewable energy resource. IWEA acts as a central point for information for over 200 members as well as a representative group to promote wind energy to key stakeholders.
Irish Offshore & Export PotentialThe island of Ireland now has one of the highest rates of
wind-energy production per capita in the world, relative
to population size, but despite having one of the world’s
greatest offshore wind resources, Ireland’s offshore wind
industry is still in the very early stages of development.
Phase one of the Arklow Bank project (25MW) is currently
Ireland’s only offshore wind farm.
To date, foreshore leases have been granted for the
operation of the Arklow Bank project and the Codling
Bank, both situated off of Ireland’s east coast. Three
more offshore projects totalling 794MW were offered a
grid connection in 2011 but with limited emphasis being
placed on offshore wind by the Irish Government and no
Irish offshore market support these projects have not
been developed to date.
IWEA believes that there would be an increased impetus
to develop these offshore sites with the implementation
of an export led offshore support framework. The
British and Irish Governments signed a memorandum
of understanding on renewable energy trading in
February 2013. In March 2014 the talked aimed towards
completing an intergovernmental agreement were parked
with a commitment to future engagement as part of
the Cfd process currently underway in the UK. Initially
these talks were aimed at finalising an agreement such
that up to 5GW of onshore and offshore energy from
Ireland could be exported to the UK in advance of 2020.
It is now more likely that these project will deliver in a
timeframe beyond 2020. IWEA believes that Ireland has
the capability to develop an export led offshore industry
in the coming years upon agreement conclusions and UK
Cfd proposal for import are finalised.
Additional infrastructure connecting both onshore and
offshore projects to the UK as part of the arrangement
within the proposed inter-governmental agreement will
be a transformative change to kick start the broader
offshore industry in Ireland.
The second interconnector between Ireland and Great
Britain, launched in October 2012, is now a key
market mechanism that is playing an initial role in
driving Ireland’s export opportunity. The East West
interconnector with a capacity of 500MW will provide an
opportunity for Ireland to export excess renewable energy
to the UK. IWEA is confident that there will be further
connections built to link the Irish Grid to the UK National
Grid and further into Europe in the coming year with
several projects under consideration and included in the
EU list of Project of Common Interest.
The East West Interconnector and future additional
interconnection brings multiple mutual benefits to both
British and Irish economies. It has improved competition,
increased our energy security for our growing
populations, allow for system reserve sharing and
provide for the opportunity to utilise Ireland’s abundance
of both onshore and offshore wind within the larger UK
customer base.
The Irish Maritime Development Office released a
report outlining that at least seven Irish ports are well
positioned to service the offshore marine renewables
sector. Additionally In July 2012 the Department of
Agriculture outlined the real may of Ireland in their report
“Our Ocean Wealth” showing that Ireland has 220 Million
acres under the sea.
Given our significant wind resource, impending 2030
targets, potential future export Cfd’s combined with
our geographical location, the possibilities of further
interconnectors and the standard of our main ports,
we are now in a position where our greatest asset can
become our greatest export too. The future remains
positive for offshore wind development in Ireland.

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

KWEIA Korea Wind Energy Industry Association
In 2014 there has not been much progress in the offshore wind industry sector in Korea. The installed offshore wind output remains unchanged at only 5MW in operation. However, some hurdles of the onshore wind farm development have been removed.
Current and planned developmentsTwo wind turbine generators, of 5.5MW and 5MW each,
have been installed and are now under test operation in
the Korean island of Jeju. To date Korean shipbuilders
have also built five installation vessels for the offshore
wind industry.
The Korea Electric Power Corporation has launched a
Special Purpose Company to develop a 2.5GW offshore
wind project in the Yellow sea, on the west side of the
Korean peninsula near the Gunsan province. Currently
this project is being delayed mainly due to lack of
consent of residents in the district.
However the 30MW Tamra offshore project, with ten
3MW turbines, will be installed offshore from Jeju island
as from March 2015 by Doosan Heavy Industries.
Permission for this project was obtained from local
government several years ago.
Two further offshore projects, the 100MW Hanrim
project and the 168MW Daejung project, have obtained
the preliminary government permit but still have other
hurdles to be cleared by the developers.
The Jeju provincial government will invite tenders in the
early part of 2015 for two more sites of 200MW each
from the offshore wind developers aiming at developing
2GW in total by 2030.
Elsewhere in Korea local governments are also promoting
applications for obtaining the government permit for up
to 4GW of offshore wind, including a 500MW offshore
wind site in the Chunnam district to be launched in
2015, and several gigawatts in the Kyungnam province
which is currently under consideration.
Korean Enterprises have accumulated the potential track
records in fabrication and also as EPC contractors in
the field of offshore facilities in the offshore oil and gas
sector. With this experience they are now preparing to
penetrate the offshore wind market including the floating
wind turbine sector.

NWEANetherlands WindEnergy Association
NWEA is the wind energy trade association 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 400 members 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 NetherlandsThe Netherlands was one of the first countries in the
world to complete offshore wind farms. The first two,
Egmond aan Zee and Prinses Amaliawindpark, both off
the Dutch East coast, provide a total of 228MW. The
next project, Luchterduinen, will start operation in 2015
generating 129MW from 43 turbines. This will be followed
by two projects 85kms north of the Netherlands with a
total output of 600MW which will become operational in
2016. Meanwhile, in 2015, the ‘in-shore’ Westermeerwind
project, with a capacity of 100MW, will be built in the
IJsselmeer.
In September 2013 the ‘Energy Agreement for Sustainable
Growth’ was endorsed by the Dutch Government, the
Dutch industry sector, employers, unions and NGOs. In
this agreement, where the renewable energy target is
set at 14% for 2020 and 16% in 2023 (currently 4%), a
substantial role is attributed to Offshore Wind. It is also
clearly recognised that this will involve an important boost
to the economy and employment. This presents a major
change – and a major opportunity - in the approach to
Offshore Wind in the Netherlands.
The roll out scheme for Offshore Wind was announced
in September 2014 by the Minister of Economic Affairs,
with plans for an additional 700MW each year in 2015,
2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, totalling 3,500MW to be
tendered in the five years. This will all be regulated in the
new law ‘Windenergie op zee’ which has to be agreed by
the Parliament early in 2015. The new tender system will
consist of lots where the winner (with the lowest MWhour
price) will be granted both the concession to build as well
as the SDE+ subsidy (for 15 years).
The minister has also announced that the grid to onshore
from and including the transformer station will be built by
TenneT. This will all be regulated in the new “STROOM” law
which also has to be agreed by the Parliament in 2015.
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 2015.

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

An essential link in the offshore wind value chainBefore 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 detailBefore 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 projectWe 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.
Zero HarmThe all-important aspect of safety
is always a key part of the planning
and execution phase and safety
assessments and planning are always
conducted closely with the client.
The A2SEA offshore wind package A2SEA has the experience, know-
how and equipment to ensure our
customers get an installation package
tailored to the specific needs of their
offshore wind projects. Working close-
ly with our key customers, we develop
solutions that meet the demands of
the market and, ultimately, help bring
down the cost of clean energy.
A2SEA has two new fit for purpose
built vessels arriving to the market;
SEA INSTALLER and SEA CHALLENGER.
SEA INSTALLER arrived in 2012 and
went straight onto the Gunfleet Sands
Extension with two Siemens 6MW
test turbines. The sister vessel SEA
CHALLENGER is due for arrival in the
beginning of 2014.
Furthermore, A2SEA operates and
manages 11 crew vessels, among
those are 4 new SWATH crew vessels.

A2SEA Powered by knowhow
A2SEA offers integrated installation and service solutions for the offshore wind industry. Since 2002, our specialised fleet has installed more than 1,200 turbines and 400 foundations for the world’s offshore wind market. We have installed foundations and turbines on i.a. Sheringham Shoal, London Array, Gwynt y Môr, Anholt and West of Duddon Sands. Many of our techniques and processes are setting standards for best practice throughout Offshore Wind, providing solutions that can help bring down the cost per MW of clean energy.
The shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen
has developed a unique ship design
which offers extraordinary seaworthi-
ness and low sea response motions
in the same range as vessels which
are at least three times larger – the
Crew Transfer Vessel in SWATH@A&R®
technology.
This design has been developed out
of the well proven vessels for the new
pilot transfer system in the German
Bight and adapted to the needs of the
offshore wind energy industry.
The first of class was delivered to the
German company BARD Engineering in
2010 and increased the accessibility
of wind energy plants, offering safe
transfer of service personnel both,
during sailing and while stepping over
to the plant.
The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew Transfer
Vessel is designed to be the final link
in the logistic chain for maintenance
between shore and offshore wind
turbines. With a high probability that
at any time there will be a wind turbine
due for maintenance or repair, the
weather and sea state become critical
factors.
The weather situation in the North Sea
is not very reliable, even in summer
it is not uncommon to have longer
periods with strong winds and high
waves limiting operation of small and
fast vessels.
The most important task is to get the
service team on the wind turbine before
37
any work can start. This must be done
in a safe, economic and reliable way.
The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew Transfer
Vessel will allow access to offshore
wind turbines in the North Sea with an
approximate significant wave height of
2.0 - 2.5m.
The concept of the Windpark Tender
allows easy adaptation to various tasks
in offshore wind farms. The main role
is transfer of service personnel and for
this task the vessel offers a spacious
mess room. Storage facilities are also
available for components and spare
parts.
On the vessel forward of the accommo-
dation there is the cargo area. Toolbox-
es and spare parts can be stored either
in containers or in the accommodation.
The service team will need to have
about the same tools and spare parts
at hand as they would have onshore in
a service van. It is also possible to store
pumps and tanks for oil changes for
the wind turbine’s gearbox.
The tender can even be equipped for
diving operations or for operating ROVs
for survey work during the laying of
power and data cables.
The capacity of the Windpark Tender
allows the transport from shore to off-
shore of even larger components up to
8 tonnes. All of this makes their vessels
extremely versatile which offer a great
flexibility to the operator.

Has Western Europe become too
expensive to produce steel castings?
At first sight yes, but if you look from
a broader perspective the answer is not
so clear. As a Belgian company Allard-
Europe faces all the cost disadvantages
of a typical Western European
production facility. Our options: move
to a low wage country or excel.
We chose the last option! Machines can be moved, 90 years
of experience can not. We chose to
invest in our people and state of the
art equipment to be not just a supplier,
but a partner. Our goal: customer
satisfaction at a good total cost
of ownership. This is only possible
through flexibility, a will to push
technical limits, open communication,
a companywide attitude to solve
39
problems, realism and honesty. We are
not the company that promises you
heaven, but fails to deliver.
In recent years we increased our
melting capacity to 40 tons, hired
young, well trained professionals to
transfer knowledge of our experienced
staff, gave them state of the art
equipment and software to excel. Our
machine shop was moved to a new
building. The elder machines were
replaced or upgraded, new machines
were installed. Our machining
capacity now includes turning up to
10 m diameter and 5-axes milling
up to a span of 11 m. There is CAD/
CAM to CNC post-processing on all
our equipment to allow for the most
complex geometry to be machined
(including double curved surfaces).
We invested in innovating pulse
EM-equipment for NDE. Our long
term relationship with qualifying and
inspection body’s such as ABS, LRS, BV,
DNV-GL was formalised in Production
Facility Qualifications. Everyday our
staff is committed to make Allard-

One stop shopWith its proximity to wind farms and
its central location in Europe, the area
offers storage and assembly sites, a wide
network of companies, two seaports
combined with local authorities. In short
expertise and facilities dedicated to off-
shore wind energy.
Inbound and outbound logisticsThe sea ports in the Amsterdam region
are perfectly linked to the primary West
European shipping routes, and have
excellent road, rail and inland waterway
connections with a vast hinterland.
A heliport is located in the port area.
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is only a
15-minute drive away, enabling fast air
transport of cargo, emergency supplies,
executives and personnel.
Infrastructure, quay side and space readily availableThe Amsterdam IJmuiden port area has
a wide variety of storage and assembly
locations, both with direct access to the
sea and in the tide free area behind the
locks. Ideal for controlled transshipment
and deployment of installation vessels.
The port area along the North Sea Canal
is also home base to installation and
supply vessels, crew vessels, cable layers
and other specialised craft servicing the
construction and operation of the wind
farms in the North Sea.
Track record
Two offshore wind farms (108 and
120MW) have already used the port
region during installation and now use
the port of IJmuiden as maintenance
base. The Luchterduinen and the near/on
shore Westermeerwind wind farms are
both using the port region extensively.
Other facilities also carried out in the
area include vessel conversion, mainte-
nance and servicing for all vessels.

components for up to 4,800 tonnes.
Organization and operation of terminals In Bremerhaven we have set up the Off-
shore Terminal ABC-Halbinsel on an area
of around 100,000 square meters and
built up the terminal operations. It is
geographically well located and offers
short distances to the German off-
shore wind farms in the North Sea. The
terminal is situated behind a lock and
is perfectly suited for tide-independent
ro-ro-handling per SPMT. Its heavy load
platform with a load capacity of up to
20 tonnes per square meter is available
for all types of heavy cargo. In front of
the terminal a proven jack-up capability
is provided. Loading and unloading are
carried out by an experienced team with
cranes, Self-Propelled Modular Trans-
porters (SPMT) and heavy-duty forklifts.
Our terminal in Bremerhaven provides
assembly areas directly situated at the
quay as well.
A number of wind farms have now
been set up from our terminal. In the
meantime we operated at the Eurogate

BLG Logistics WindEnergy Logistics
BLG WindEnergy Logistics develops innovative transport, cargo handling and warehousing solutions for all logistics processes along the entire value chain of the (offshore) wind industry. We have successfully carried out initial reference projects for offshore wind farms in the German North and Baltic Sea, such as Global Tech 1, Trianel Windpark Borkum, Nordsee Ost, Meerwind Süd/Ost and Baltic 2, at the Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven locations.
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 9,000
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 deck 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 HPU, automatic loading
arm, 5, 10 or 15 tonnes outboard
tensioner and control system and 10
tonnes outboard deck tensioner.
Our team has several years of offshore
experience with subsea product
handling and installation activities.
Some of our recent projects• Since 2011, Blue Offshore assists
Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke (NSW)
with its Baltic 2 Offshore Wind
Farm project. Our provided cable
installation equipment includes a
modular basket carousel, loading
tower and other associated
equipment for cable loading, cable
transport and operational assistance
during cable installation.
• Blue Offshore has provided Stemat
Marine Services an 18m outer
diameter basket carousel with
grillage for offshore cable storage
for the ABB Nordergründe project.
Fabricated in just 10 weeks, the
2,200 tonnes capacity basket
carousel provides Stemat and VSMC
with a flexible resource for storing,
transporting and installing cable
offshore.
• Blue Offshore assists NSW with the
provision of modular deck equipment
and services for cable jointing
operations.
• 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. This flexible pipe
had a weight of 355kg/m and a total
length of 9.2km.
• Blue Offshore assisted German
offshore constructor TAGU with the
replacing of 1,300m of subsea power
export cable in the West of Duddon
Sands Wind Farm field by providing
a Reel Hub Drive System, 9.8m
reel, deck tensioner and associated
deck equipment. In addition to the
specialized equipment, Blue Offshore
provided project management
services and operational assistance.

Managing a crew transfer vessel (CTV)
fleet is a challenge. Offshore operations
require different workloads between
project phases and vessel specifica-
tions in relation to their real-world
performance. Our involvement in the
offshore wind industry has proven that
the performance and safety of crew
transfer vessel operations lies in the
exchange of ineffective information
and transparency about:
• The suitability of the vessel to the
site conditions
• The effectiveness of marine control
in using the maximum capabilities of
the vessels
• The experience and skills of the
vessel crew
• The effectiveness of the vessel
operator in supporting the vessel
BMO makes this possible by deter-
mining the performance of vessels
and logistics on site, thus to giving
our clients the tools to maximize their
utilization and safety.
The VBB captures a complete picture
of vessel movements; in both, the ab-
solute sense as well as relatively to the
positions of other offshore structures
and vessels.
Data collected by the VBB is
automatically transmitted back to the
BMO office, where the data is processed
and enriched with information about
site conditions before being analysed.
For site conditions BMO routinely
uses wave buoys and wave radars
as meteorological sources.
47
The meteorological data provides data
provides the essential background to
interpret the vessel data.
Standard overall analysis results are
collected and summarized in monthly
analysis reports to our clients. Any
critical events (such as turbine impacts
over a pre-set threshold) are reported
via direct notifications. The analysis
enables our clients to improve their
performance and to help on bench-
marking your vessels.
BMO has captured an extensive amount
of data among vessels of different sizes
and operations on offshore wind sites
in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands
and Belgium. We have learned that no
vessel is the same; both in technical
requirements and in contracts that our
clients have in place. BMO can help to
maximize vessel utilization and reduce
costs. This has given us a major lead in
the offshore wind industry and there-
fore, we know what it takes to make it
work offshore, every day.

The Chevalier PhilosophyChevalier Floatels vessels are designed
to be much more than just floating ac-
commodations. They have to be safe,
efficient, comfortable. Good engineers
are hard to find, therefore comfort on
board is very important. Ensuring their
wellbeing also keeps their productivity
maximized and reduces safety risks.
Chevalier vessels feature a restaurant,
spacious recreation rooms, and a gym.
A large galley with quality catering
makes sure our guests stay well cared
for. All cabins have internet, TV with
entertainment system and adjacent
bathrooms. The general standard on
board is very high.
A key factor for the company is
operational safety.
49
DP Gezina and DP GalynaThe yacht style DP 2 vessels DP
Gezina and DP Galyna are operating as
offshore support and accommodation
ships. They feature 48 cabins for 60
persons. They are equipped with
Ampelmann heave compensated gang-
way to make transfers to platforms as
easy as crossing the street. The gang-
way is located in the centre of the ves-
sel and on an elevated deck. Therefore
the Ampelmann can make the landing
to the platform over the starboard and
over the port side. The high location of
it makes it possible to reach structures
up to 22 meters above the water line.
This ensures firstly, more safe boarding
positions than on most other vessels
and secondly, that almost any plat-
form is accessible. Apart from this the
vessels have a work deck, three crew
boat landings, a heave compensated
crane and a fast rescue boat.
Kalmar, Sans Vitesse, Rossini and TransitThese floating hotels are suited for
mooring in any port. With their low
drafts it is often possible to moor them
close to the site where the guests are
working. Kalmar has 220 cabins suited
for single or double capacity. The
very luxurious Sans Vitesse has 101
cabins and is because of its very luxury
standard also suited to accommodate
management or as a vessel to house
client representatives. Rossini has
110 cabins, its own generators, water
makers and sewage treatment plant. It
can operate fully self-sufficient in any
area and climate in the world.

Chevalier Floatels BV Much more than just accommodation
Chevalier Floatels is a specialist company in the area of floating accommodation. With a fleet of 6 offshore Floatels and hotel barges, it has a wealth of experience in the industry. The company owns two dedicated DP2 walk to work vessels that have been key in the success of many offshore projects in the oil and gas and renewable industry. The wide experience with hotel barges have solved accommodation problems for customers in many different areas.
A small percentage per offshore
wind farm is reserved for cables and
accessories. This percentage accounts
for a vital part of the project; the
connection to shore. If this connection
is disrupted, how much power needs to
be generated and distributed in order
to compensate for the additional -
undesired - expenses?
The best approach is to avoid such
situations actively, by assessing the
projects accurately and then providing
adequate mechanical cable protection.
CPNL Engineering is proud to be the first
global engineer and supplier with DNV-
GL certified cable protection systems for
both monopile entry and I-/J-tubes. The
systems are based on the core product
articulated pipe. This product has been
successfully used for decades and with
the redesign features made by CPNL, it
has upgraded to a flexible and robust
system. The exclusion of fasteners
explains it all.
Therefore, CPNL is the only supplier
that can create a unique flexible
quadrant to deploy the cable with
a protection system in a highly
controlled way over the shoot.
Furthermore, the retrofit of the system
in existing and new projects has been
evaluated as the best available by
customers.
The straight forward approach of
CPNL is to let the numbers tell the
tale. More specifically, the products
have been tested by independent test
facilities and these results were used
as input for further calculation and
Orkaflex simulation. The end results
were reviewed by DNV-GL and this
resulted in DNV-GL certification for the
bellmouths, centralisers, articulated
pipe (coated and uncoated), end clamps
and spreader beam with compressed
air release.
The match between theory and
practice is considered of vital
importance. Therefore, the diverless
concept of CPNL Engineering covers the
range of installation and O&M. An ROV
can retrieve the cable protection and
a crane takes over to pull the cable on
board for disassembly and reassembly
of the components.
The same counts for the flexible
quadrant. It saves deck space and
allows optimal use of this space for

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 cus-
tomers 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 loadsAs wind turbines are continually
becoming larger, Cuxport has to move
enormous weights if tower sections or
foundation structures are to be trans-
ported. The company not only has a
roadway capable of handling heavy
loads, which runs from the manufac-
turers’ production sites to Cuxport,
but also a heavy-duty platform for
transhipment purposes. It can cope
with up to 90 tonnes per square metre
and measures 1,500 square metres.
FlexibleCuxport can point to many years of
experience in the project business –
not least based on its original design
as a heavy goods terminal. The port
logistics provider offers the necessary
flexibility and the relevant transhipment
equipment both for services in the
installation field and when providing
supplies for production processes. The
trend towards larger wind turbines and
the use of modern installation vessels
from the edge of the quay have not only
triggered a reassessment of whether
to complete assembly processes out
at sea or on dry land, but also induced
manufacturers of tower sections or
foundational structures, which used to
mainly produce their goods at
hinterland destinations, to operate their
factories very close to the sea.
Cuxport is repeatedly able to intro-
duce its existing logistics expertise in
projects, which accompany the offshore
wind power industry in all its varied
facets. For example, Cuxport organises
the transportation and storage of grout
in big bags. This cement-like filling
material is used for turbines at offshore
wind farms to secure transition pieces
and monopiles.

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

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.
Forward-lookingProximity to the wind park projects,
which have already been completed
and are being planned in the German
Bight and the surrounding area, make
Cuxhaven generally suitable to play
a role in the service and maintenance
business – and Cuxport in particular,
with its capacity to handle special
tasks. In the course of the establish-
ment 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 in combination with wide heavy
duty storage areas were enough to
persuade serveral customers. Planning
approval for a berth adjacent to the
heavy-duty platform is completed.
This will provide another 290 metres
of quay space at Cuxport, hopefully
from 2017 onwards, and will be able

Damen Walk-to-Work vesselDamen Shipyards’ new ‘Walk-to-Work’
vessel will be able to stay at sea for
one month supporting wind turbine
operations, providing a powerful signal
to the rapidly maturing offshore
renewables energy market.
Extensive consultation with vessel
operators, field developers and turbine
makers, plus two years of design
development, have resulted in the
new ‘Walk-to-Work’ (W2W) wind farm
accommodation and support vessel.
The vessel will provide on-site work and
storage facilities, plus accommodation
for 40 turbine maintenance personnel
and 20 crew members for periods of up
to one month. At distances greater than
30 nautical miles, the time taken to 58
transfer maintenance crew from shore
to turbine and back again everyday
starts to become critical, with the longer
travel time having a large impact on the
overall cost of the operation.
Damen has been able to design a
vessel for sustained operations at sea
that could guarantee 80% availability
working with wave heights of up to 3m
Hs. This would significantly reduce costs
and increase efficiency in the Central
North Sea, an area considered to be
the ‘worst case’ area for support vessel
deployment.
Damen infield cable layer, ICL 5000Damen’s new Infield Cable Layer 5000
vessel is the result of a year and half of
development and benchmarking with a
number of cable laying contractors. The
new design meets the specific challenges
of offshore wind array cable installation.
The ICL 5000 is 116 metres in length
with a 24 metre beam. The total cable
capacity of 5,000 tonnes is comparable
to the multipurpose Damen cable laying
vessel based on the Damen Offshore
Carrier 7500 design. However, on board
the ICL 5000 both the turntables (1 x
3,000 tonnes and 1 x 2,000 tonnes) are
below deck - a key requirement in array
cable laying as it frees up 1,400m² of
main deck space.
The philosophy is completely different
for array cable laying. These operations
need as much deck space as possible
for the amount, and frequency, of the
specialist work to be carried out, such
as cutting cables on deck, mounting
VD&B
Damen Offshore Wind Vessels aim to support both energy companies and offshore contractors at every stage of an offshore wind farm’s lifecycle: development, installation, operations and maintenance. Damen has been just doing that, selling in total 34 Twin Axe 2610 vessels and a Cable Layer for Van Oord and Maersk based on the Damen Offshore Carrier. This is only the beginning; Damen has also been working hard to introduce new designs, showing that they seriously mean to remain a step ahead in terms of providing the right solutions to the market. And of course there is more to come in 2015.

is designed in accordance with the DNV

The Twin Axe 2008The Damen Twin Axe FCS 2008 is
expected to be as popular as its larger
sister, the FCS 2610, for transfers of
wind farm maintenance personnel.
The new FCS 2008 is designed as an
efficient day-trip vessel at the smaller
59
end of the offshore wind market. Like
its larger sister, the new vessel features
Damen’s proven Twin Axe performance
to eliminate slamming for a more
comfortable ride. The FCS 2008 carries
12 passengers at a top speed of 25
knots. However, its smaller size, lower
fuel consumption and an attractive
purchase price will make this vessel very
interesting for fleet managers.
As you would expect in the smaller
vessel, the operating profile is different
when compared to the FCS 2610, but
for given weather conditions and job
requirements, the FCS 2008 is just as
capable as the FCS 2610 while being
more economical to operate. For other
jobs, the FCS 2610 is more suitable. It is
all about having the right mix of vessels
to provide the right logistic solutions at
the most economical rate. At Damen we
build a range of solutions, and this now
includes the FCS 2008.
Damen has sold 25 of the larger FCS
2610 since introducing the vessel to
the market in June 2011. As well as the
revolutionary twin-axe aluminium hull,
the FCS 2008 shares many of the traits
of its larger sister. The two engines each
drive a two-speed gearbox and fixed pitch
propeller. The vessel will also benefit from
Damen’s standardisation and building
for stock philosophy, offering owners
very short delivery times.
Damen Shipyards

HistoryThe DBB group was founded in 1989
as a towage and salvage company
specialising in heavy lift operations
offshore. Today, the group consists
of three companies, DBB Salvage,
DBB ROV and DBB Jack-Up, which
in addition to offshore wind turbine
operations and maintenance services,
provides salvage and subsea inspection
services.
Where a large number of players have
invested in installation vessels and
jack-ups, DBB saw a gap in the market
for O&M services and smaller units.
Combined with 25 years of experience,
technical know-how and flexibility –
DBB is able to service our clients 24/7,
365 days a year.
60
O&M experienceDBB Jack-Up’s fleet comprise three
jack-ups, J/U WIND, J/U WIND
SERVER and J/U WIND PIONEER. The
company’s only jack-up in operation
until end 2014, the J/U WIND, is the
industry’s first self-propelled, heavy-
lift jack-up to have a permanently
mounted, large-scale, telescopic
crane. With more than 370 major
component replacements, J/U WIND is
the industry’s most experienced O&M
jack-up vessel.
To supplement the success of J/U
WIND, we have further strengthened
our services in a challenging and
evolving market with the acquisition
of one newbuild and one converted
jack-up. Our new build jack-up
J/U WIND SERVER is an industry first
and its capabilities will offer speed and
flexibility to our customers in getting
wind turbines repaired as fast and safe
as possible. Our converted jack-up
J/U WIND PIONEER is specially
designed for shallow water locations
and challenging seabed profiles which
again is highly sought after in the
market.
Prepared for today. Preparing for tomorrow.Meanwhile, the newbuild J/U WIND
SERVER, 80 metres in length and 32
metres in breadth, is capable of lifting
400 tonnes and can operate in depths
of up to 45 metres. An innovative and
modern vessel, J/U WIND SERVER can
withstand the most challenging of
conditions and even service the huge
five to eight MW turbines; Purpose-
built for operation and maintenance
activities with smaller dimensions, the
jack-up is highly suitable for servicing
the increasing number of large-scale
offshore wind projects in Northern
Europe.
DBB Jack-Up’s ‘Can Do. Will do.’
attitude, state-of-the-art vessels and
commitment to helping the industry
reduce costs of energy production will
not only secure our future growth, but
also help set the foundations for the
offshore wind industry as a whole.
Proud of our ‘Can do. Will do.’ attitude, DBB Jack-Up boasts more than 25 years’ experience in the provision of offshore services both above and below sea; since 2007, we have replaced more than 370 major components on offshore wind turbines and worked on more than 15 different wind farms in Northern Europe.

For many years North Sea fishermen
have trawled up flint spear heads and
other items dating from the time when
the North Sea was dry land. Deep,
by using their sensitive equipment
for scanning for archaeology from
pre-history times, can locate and map
these sites to avoid loosing forever this
insight into how our ancestors lived.
Deep have worked on projects on all
sides of the North Sea and in the Baltic
Sea, including the Prinses Amaliawind-
park and Offshore Windpark Egmond
aan Zee where they are currently
carrying out O&M hydrographic and
geophysical surveys.
They have also been working at various
stages on the following wind farm
projects:
From mapping a complete wind farm
site survey to individual installations,
from inter array cable route surveys
to export cable with land fall surveys,
Deep have made their mark in this fast
moving technological industry.
Deep can provide specialist surveys for
object detection. This is rapidly becom-
ing an important sector for offshore
wind farm planning. Submerged ob-
stacles can cause tens of thousands of
Euro’s damage to trenching equipment
and ploughs.
Even more important, for the safety of
the operators of subsea operations, is
the detection of ammunitions, bombs
and mines from two world wars, which
are still lying, uncharted, in the North
Sea, for example.
• Gunfleet Sands
• Alpha Ventus
• Thornton Bank
• Belwind
• London Array
• Luchterduinen
If it lies under or on the sea bed, in
shallow coastal waters or deep sea,
Deep can locate it, map it, and guide
you around it, saving you both time
and money in your sub sea opera-
tions.

Maritime coordination surveyand consultingMaritime coordination of offshore
construction sites is enormously
important for a successful project. EMS
Maritime Offshore forms interdiscipli-
nary teams by recruiting its Marine
Coordinators from the company’s own
nautical officers, vessel operators or
technical management staff. Besides
our core business – vessel traffic
coordination, radio communication
management and emergency response
– our MCs have also been assigned
additional duties such as vessel
registration procedures, maintenance
of Permit-To-Work systems, reporting
to the German authorities (from daily
reports up to full licensable concept
studies), weather monitoring and
logistical CTV disposition.
The services of EMS Maritime Offshore
are structured within four main sectors.
Shipping, ship owning andmanagementThe management of a ship requires
know-how, expertise, and flexibility.
As a shipping company, EMS Maritime
Offshore GmbH combines all these in its
maritime technology inspection
activities, and therefore offers the best
possible support when you have to
allocate available personnel, or technical
monitoring of ships and tours of duty.
The supply of offshore wind farms
requires a very high standard of proven
and tested vessels. In line with this,
EMS Maritime Offshore GmbH offers
experienced and skilled nautical and
technical personnel for the shipbuilding
supervision of such ships.
Operation and chartermanagementWith our fleet of special-build offshore
vessels we can provide the whole range
of services in the field of supply and
support. Be this the transportation of
specialized crew for the construction
area or the supply of various goods to
an offshore hub. Thanks to our
experience in guard duties, crew
transfers, coordination of on-/offshore
logistics and maintenance or repair of
wind turbine generators, we can offer
you vessels that are able to meet all
your project requirements. We and
our professional network guide you
from the selection of vessel up to final
charter negotiations within on-hire and
off-hire surveys.
Port services, logistics and fullsupply chain managementUsing its own port network in Emden-
Knock, Emden, Eemshaven and
Borkum, EMS Maritime Offshore GmbH
offers the complete range of port
services. With our team and facilities
we are able to manage and assist in
heavy loads, mooring services, open

The cradle of wind power stood in
Denmark many years ago. FORCE
Technology focused early on servicing
the emerging wind turbine market
locally.
We have around 20 years of hands-on
experience in Non-Destructive Testing
(NDT) on turbine components. Rotor
blades and welded steel towers came
early into attention, with professional
automated QC systems in production.
FORCE Technology is a recognised
international service and inspection
equipment provider, dealing with the
global wind energy market.
Major European stake-holders are in-
cluded, as well as major entities in the
US, China, India and Brazil. The P-scan
67
program for automated inspection
currently is technology and
performance-wise market leading
[P-scan.com].
Ultrasound is the most reliable NDT
technique for inspection of fibre rein-
forced (FRP) composite rotor blades.
FORCE Technology hold its own P-scan
brand of ultrasound scanners, often
developed as customised ultrasound
scanner systems according to client
specific need.
Contemporary development for larger
turbine size requires improved safe
performance. FORCE Technology
provides the appropriate scanner
solutions. Manufacturers get the ability
to secure quality in running production;
either we talk about blades, towers or
foundations. Failure [offshore] is not
really an option.

offshore wind farm, in the German North
Sea – one of the first to feature the ARE-
VA M5000-116 turbines.
Bold Tern and Brave Tern transported
and installed 75 towers and nacelles
and 22 rotor stars of the 80 turbines,
completing the project on schedule
within eight months.
The flexibility of the vessels was key to
achieving the operational target – and
included a record performance in the
transportation and installation of eight
turbines in one week, including 10 hours
transfer time each way to the wind farm.
Following her work on Global Tech I, Bold Tern mobilised for installation work on

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.
Built on 166 years of offshore and
marine experience, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier
was established in 2008 and took
delivery of the two giant self-propelled
jack-up vessels two years ago.
The company has since gained unpre-
cedented experience installing the latest
generation turbines including Alstom’s
6MW Haliade 150, the largest offshore
wind turbine ever to be positioned in sea
waters at the time.
One of the top highlights to date has
been the installation on the Global Tech I
transport and installation for the 80
Siemens 3.6MW wind turbines.
Brave Tern departed from Frederikshavn
in September 2014 for the Universal
Foundation Trial Installation Campaign
led by Statoil with support from The
Carbon Trust and three other major
developers. The 24-day campaign
featured a series of tests with a scaled
down Universal Foundation design, as
well as a reference suction anchor for
benchmarking and calibration purposes.
The structures were successfully
installed and retrieved 28 times at three
major UK sites in some of the most
challenging soil conditions experienced
by the participating four developers.
This marks another major step forward
in the de-risking of suction technology
for offshore wind and is a milestone
in the development of the Universal
Foundation.
Meanwhile, five of Fred. Olsen
Windcarrier’s Bayard crew transfer
vessels (CTVs) have been employed on
UK offshore wind projects. Three of the
Bayards are under contract at Walney
offshore wind farm, where they will
continue working on operations and
maintenance for the duration of their
three year contract.
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s remaining CTVs
are working on German wind farms, with
Bayard 6 employed by Siemens on Baltic
ll and Bayard 3, together with sister
vessel Windcrew-1, joining Bold Tern on
the Butendiek project.

Safety: our first prioritySafety 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.
Continuous innovationTo better serve our clients, we con-
tinuously 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 tem-
plates, for accurate installation of piles
for jacket foundation of different sizes
and configurations.
Certified qualityOur 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 realiza-
tions are unequalled. An offshore wind
turbine tower may rise to the skies but
its foundations are piled at vertical and
relative tolerances measured in milli-
metres. This quality is guaranteed by
numerous certificates, incl. ISO 9001,
VCA** and OHSAS 18001.

Wind turbine installation & main-tenance from a safe, stable and solid platformGustoMSC has designed a variety of wind
turbine installation and maintenance
jack-ups, each having its own charac-
teristics that can be modified to fit the
individual logistic needs to serve any
wind farm or O&M strategy.
Life-time cost of wind farmsOverall, these Operating & Maintenance
(O&M) activities are having a significant
impact on the life-time cost of a wind
farm. To bring down these O&M costs
the focus needs to be on reducing
the time spent offshore, exchanging
components safely and efficiently and
planning preventive maintenance. O&M
activities are not only required for the
wind turbines themselves, but also the 70
service requirements for the transformer
stations, cables, foundations and towers.
Each wind farm requires a different
approach in terms of nacelle heights,
turbine components, blade length,
weather, wind, wave height, water depth,
tidal variation, sailing distance, etc., and
this means that there is no ready-made
solution.
GustoMSC designsOur range comprises of small non-pro-
pelled units to large self-propelled jack-
up vessels. These jack-up vessels can
stay offshore for long periods, serving
multiple far offshore wind farms and
functioning as a mother vessel for vari-
ous other maintenance support vessels.
Characteristics of the units are: survival
capability, transporting large compo-
nents, storage of spares & tools, tuned
accommodation & autonomy, crane with
sufficient hook heights, DP-1 or DP-2 for
precise positioning next to the founda-
tion and between power cables spread on
the seabed.
For the offshore construction market
GustoMSC developed the NG series:
self-propelled units with full DP capacity.
A sailing speed of ± 10 knots, high vari-
able load capability, four legs and fast
jacking system are the key features. For
wind turbine installation activities, the
NG-9000C and NG-5500C are the key
units, equipped with a GustoMSC crane
around-the-leg. For O&M the NG-1800
or NG-2500 are suitable units.
GustoMSC in the marketThe market acknowledges the advantag-
es brought by these introductions and all
major installation contractors are using
GustoMSC designs and associated equip-
ment: to date over 30 units have been
built or are under construction. Examples
are Buzzard, Neptune, Goliath, JB-114,
JB-115, JB-117, JB-118, Seafox 7, SEA
WORKER, Seajacks Kraken & Seajacks
Leviathan, Wind Lift I, MPI Adventure &
MPI Discovery, Brave Tern & Bold Tern,
Seajacks Zaratan, Seajacks Hydra and
Seajacks Scylla, SEA INSTALLER and SEA
CHALLENGER, GMS Shamal, GMS Sirocco
and GMS Sharqi.
GustoMSC jack-up designs are accredited
the Self-Elevating Unit notation; these
units are built to the highest offshore
standards and have the ability to operate
worldwide in a variety of environments.
Survival capability is the key to success-
ful operations for your project.

solution for their project.
For the Karehamn offshore wind park
of E.On, in the Swedish part of the
Baltic Sea, 16 concrete Gravity Base
Foundations (GBF’s) were needed.
Construction of GBF’sThe foundations were constructed on
top of two very large barges in the
port of Zeebrugge (Belgium) in a very
short period of only 5 months. Because
of the water depths in the Baltic Sea
ranging from 8 to 21 meter founda-
tion received its own specific design.
The height of these elements ranges
from 15 to 25m. The heaviest element
weighs approximately 1,940 tonnes.
Preparing the seabedDuring transport of the foundations,
the seabed had been prepared before
installation. First half a meter of the
seabed was removed, and to provide an
even cushion layer for the foundations,
a gravel layer was installed. In order
to level this cushion layer, a levelling
system has been developed by means
of a levelling beam installed on the
cutter dredger ‘Vesalius’. This allowed
for levelling the gravel bed foundation
bed within the design tolerances of plus
or minus 45mm.
Installing and ballasting the GBF’s
Once the gravel bed was installed and
levelled, the heavy lift vessel ‘Rambiz’
lifted the foundations off the barges
and installed the foundation to within
30cm of the theoretical position by
using its anchoring system and within
0.25 degree inclination.
After the foundations had been installed,
they were ballasted to withstand the
extreme forces of the sea and carry
the actual wind turbine. The shaft and
ballast caisson of the foundation were
filled with magnadense crushed iron
ore. Finally a layer of heavy quarry
stone was placed as a top capping
layer in order to provide protection
against wave induced seabed currents.
To prevent the gravel layer from being
washed away, an anti-scour quarry
stone layer was installed around the
foundations.

Maritime cranes for the wind power industryThe Group offers convincing solutions
for the construction of wind turbines
at sea. Liebherr’s offshore heavy duty
cranes feature lifting capacities of up to
2,000t. All requirements can be catered
for: diesel-powered or electric drive units,
explosion-protected cranes and cranes for
ambient temperatures between +40°C
and -50°C and special lowering depths
down to 3,600m below sea level. The
offshore heavy lift cranes are mounted on
crane ships or jack-up platforms specially
designed for these jobs. Liebherr’s range
of heavy lift offshore cranes for the wind
industry consists of:
BOS seriesBOS cranes are conventional slew bear-
ing 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-hy-
draulic and can be designed for opera-
tion in either safe or hazardous areas.
Depending on customer requirements
Liebherr offers various types within the
BOS-series. With a maximum boom
length of 102m, which is especially
required for offshore wind park installa-
tion, the BOS 45000 is
the largest model of this series.
CAL cranes Liebherr has delivered two ‘Cranes
around the Leg’ so far: the CAL 45000
and the CAL 64000. Their special design
means that they are able to rotate 360°
around one of the four jack-up legs of
the vessel. They are the first heavy lift
offshore cranes in the world to date to
be built according to this design. The
main advantage of this design is that
despite the cranes’ enormous size they
can be positioned in a space-saving
way and thus require a relatively small
obstruction area of only 12m. With a
maximum lifting capacity of 1,500t at
a maximum working radius of 31.5m
the CAL 64000 is the larger of the two
models. The CAL 45000 achieves a
maximum lifting capacity of 1,200t at
a maximum working radius of 27.5m.
MTC 78000The MTC 78000 achieves a maximum
lifting capacity of 1,600t at a radius of
up to 35m. This corresponds to a maxi-
mum 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 7500Liebherr’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 300 t in the air and handle
loads down to a water depth of 3,600m.
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 espe-
cially adapted for subsea applications.

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.

an active and constructive dialogue with the key developers, contractors and engineers.
By attending on site we can provide the necessary risk mitigation and will warrant and approve the first of each of the key operations to witness it is conducted safely and in accordance with the approved procedures.
We subsequently monitor a percent-age of repeat operations to ensure that any changes to the operational procedures are promptly detected.
We believe this system of procedural review and attendance for the first key operations can minimise the cost to the insured and promote safe and claim free construction.
In addition to offshore wind farm construction, we also act on behalf of underwriters, energy companies and engineering and construction contractors for large offshore oil and gas projects, as well as petrochem-ical and power plant developments, large maritime civil engineering projects and marine operations generally.
Projects have included, but are not limited to, approvals for the fabri-cation, load out, transportation and installation of the components listed above.

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

high standard and are all built by one
of the largest boat builders in the
UK, South Boats IOW Limited. The
current fleet includes three 15m, four
17m vessels, one 19m and one 20m
version, all being robust, fast and
seaworthy.
This allows them to work in a variety
of challenging environments. The
layout of the vessels has been designed

Providing solutions for offshore operatorsDrawing on the experience of more
than 100 crew boats built for the
offshore oil and gas industry, PIRIOU
has developed a range of ships to serve,
in optimal comfort and safety, the

PIRIOU constantly listens to operators
to ensure every vessel is customizable
and adaptable. Built in accordance
with a tried and trusted process of
standardization, PIRIOU’s WFSVs
are an optimal solution in terms of
competitiveness and modular design.
Construction times are short, between
eight and ten months.
Last but not least, the Group’s main
site is located at the heart of Northern
Europe where the wind power industry
has its centres of development. This
allows us to guarantee a prompt
service when it comes to providing
maintenance and repair services.

PIRIOU Global service for offshore wind farms
Involved in shipbuilding, repair, naval engineering and services since 1965, PIRIOU specializes in producing medium-sized vessels (up to 120m in length) with high added value through a combination of high-performance engineering and a comprehensive network of industrial sites in Europe, Africa and Asia. With more than 400 ships built and delivered worldwide, PIRIOU provides, on a global scale, bespoke solutions as well as a complete range of standardized or customized vessels that satisfy the requirements of international shipowners, whether they be private or public, civilian or military.
power to supply 340,000 households
with renewable energy. Amongst others,
fully assembled towers which weigh 250t
are stored at the quay and loaded onto
the jack-up installation vessel VIDAR. The
entire loading process is done floating
which results in significant time and cost
savings. Other components, such as
rotor blades, measure about 60m and
are transported by experienced Port of
Sassnitz staff from the feeder ship to the
place of rest. The available quay length of
the offshore terminal amounts to 600m
in total, including a RoRo ramp at berth
4a which is being used for the delivery of
the wind turbine components. Moreover
a new warehouse with 1,500m² and an
insulated warehouse measuring 740m²
are accommodating spare parts, tools,
equipment and sensitive electro technical
parts. Finally, the projects offices are
The port offers ideal conditions and berths
where both freighters and highly special-
ised 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 SouthA new terminal tailored to meet the
special needs of offshore wind power
projects was completed in 2013 meas-
uring 100,000m². Large components
for wind turbines are currently being
stored, pre-assembled, transhipped
and transported for the OWF “EnBW
Baltic 2” which will become operational
in 2015. The OWF comprises 80 wind
turbines which will generate enough
placed directly on the terminal area
which improves the communication
between the project teams and provides
short distances on the terminal. Three
more OWF used to be under contracting
- for the time after the completion of
‘EnBW Baltic 2’.
O&M PortCrew transfer vessels, tugs and supply
vessels will be able to use berths 1 and
1a in future. They will be part of an O&M
port which is currently under construc-
tion. The berths are located close to the
Offshore Terminal South and comprise a
total berth length of approx. 330m. The
supply of the vessels with e.g. fresh wa-
ter and bunker fuel will also be possible.
The new O&M port will be available from
4th quarter 2015 onwards.
Well equipped for the futureThere is already plenty of space available
for companies to set up their business at
Port of Sassnitz. Other areas, which can
be used to install offshore wind parks,
will be created in the medium term in
the northern section of the port on a site
measuring up to 16hs. But that is not
the last word in converting the ferry port
into an offshore centre: a multi-purpose
offshore building, measuring approx.
3,400m², has been constructed and
will be available for maintenance and
repair works from the beginning of 2015.
Prior to this, the building was used as a
production plant for offshore wind rotor
blade prototypes, which measured 82m
from the tip of the blade to their root.
The building is a ‘state of the art’ con-
struction and equipped with a heating
system and a crane capacity of 2 x 25t.

Port of Sassnitz Offshore base port for the Baltic Sea
The starting position could hardly be better: Port of Sassnitz is a deep-water facility in north-east Germany which provides ideal conditions to serve as a base port for the offshore wind industry both in nautical and geographical terms. All the common offshore vessels, including jack-up barges and floating cranes, can call at the port, which has a draught of up to 10.5 metres. There are no restrictions on access caused by tides, locks or bridges. Within a radius of 30 nautical miles from the port there are 4 offshore wind park projects which are either under construction or have already received official approval. The market potential is even larger comprising up to 16 offshore wind parks. The short distances between the base port and the wind parks out at sea provide clear cost benefits for operators and suppliers – just as the easy approach to the port without the need for any pilot or tug services.

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

range of support and services for the
project, including scour protection.
DolWin Alpha Convertor Platform – Seajacks Zaratan has
been providing installation assistance
to the crews installing the DolWin
Alpha Convertor Platform.
This platform will connect 3 wind
farms - MEG Offshore 1, Borkum
Riffgrund 1 and Borkum West 2,
a total of 160 wind turbines.
Spring Campaign – O&M work was
successfully undertaken by Leviathan
on offshore wind farms off the East
Anglian coast. The wind farm owners
worked together to share the costs of
vessel mobilisation and in return their
WTGs were maintained and downtime
was significantly reduced. Seajacks

NG2500X vessels are suited to the
O&M industry as they are capable of
working in water depths of up to 55
metres with crane capacities up
to 800t.
This latest maintenance project adds
to Seajacks’ growing portfolio of
successful O&M campaigns. Seajacks
were noted in a recent case study
from The Crown Estate, Jack Up Vessel
Optimisation, which explained how
jack up activities for O&M work can be
optimised in the offshore wind sector.
Seajacks are always looking at ways
to develop their success further with
providing fixed solutions that reduces
cost and risks of maintaining offshore
wind farms.
From Seajacks’ current strong position
within the O&M market, Seajacks are
developing O&M solutions across a
large customer base for the provision
of O&M services, the early develop-
ment engagement will happen over
the winter period with a view to
establishing an O&M Jack Up solution
from Spring 2015.

The manufacturers of wind turbines
develop highly complex and valuable
products for the energy supply of the
future. When it comes to logistical
challenges they rely on the high flexi-
bility and quality of the services which
are provided by the nine seaports of
Niedersachsen.
Experienced staff, high-capacity
transhipment facilities and specially
fortified areas (e.g. heavy-load facilities
for components with piece weights of
up to 1,000 tonnes) for the tranship-
ment of wind turbines and other project
loads characterise the port locations in
Niedersachsen.
Outstanding hinterland connections
by rail, road and inland waterway
guarantee optimum conditions for
production, efficient handling,
warehousing, mounting and installa-
tion of wind energy components.
Moreover, individual port operating
companies have established them-
selves as holistic logistics service
providers with special services for the
wind power branch. Besides handling
and warehousing this includes spare
parts logistics, supplier management,
goods receipt processing, order picking
and packing as well as supply chain
management and transport control.
The seaports of Niedersachsen provide
strategic hubs for the installation and
subsequent maintenance and supply of
the offshore wind power farms in the
North Sea via helicopter as well as ves-
sel services. Several manufacturers of
offshore components decided to settle
in one of the seaport locations in
Niedersachsen which are providing
ample infrastructure. The production
of the offshore components in close
proximity to the ports ensures short
transport routes by land thus creating
a potential to save both costs and
time.
In the Niedersachsen seaports there
are extensive potential areas available
for companies and suppliers of the
onshore and offshore branch to settle.

On & Offshore WindOnshore and offshore blade inspection and repairRope Access is a perfect technique
for inspecting and repairing blades on
wind turbines. Sky-Access decided to
specialise in this area. Being a partner
with strong technical skills and certified
technicians, we are the perfect choice
for blade inspections and repairs.
The unique combination of inspection
and repair skills allows huge cost eco-
nomies and significant time savings.
Rope access for inspection and repairWind turbine blade inspection on a
regular basis is of the utmost impor-
tance to catch any potential damage
or problem early. After this determi-
nation, quick repair and maintenance
is very important too. Sky-Access not
only specialises in wind turbine blade
inspections, but also provides mainte-
nance and any necessary repair service
immediately.
Onshore and offshoreAs Sky-Access performs its activities
using an industrial rope technique,
called Rope Access, even wind turbines
that are located in places that are
difficult to reach can still easily be
inspected and maintained. Using Rope
Access, wind turbines can be reached
onshore as well as offshore. In most
cases, repair and maintenance services
can be started on the very same day
as the inspection, this way, downtime
is avoided and work is particularly
cost-efficient. Please contact us for
more information.
Technical experts - Sky-Access BV specialises in Rope Access, industrial rope techniques for mechanical and electro-technical maintenance purposes. Assembling and disassembling, welding, NDT, (tank) inspections, constructing, blasting and painting, blade repair and blade inspection. Our main areas of expertise are Onshore & Offshore wind, offshore Oil & Gas and industry.

Smulders GroupPassionate about steel
Smulders Group has its origin in 1966 and has evolved into an international organization. The core activities of the company are the construction, manufacturing, supply and assembly of steel constructions. Twenty years ago Smulders Group entered the offshore wind market with the production of steel towers for land-based wind turbines. Approximately 10 years later, Smulders Group started with the production of steel monopile foundations and evolved from pioneer to market leader with an established track record.
For the development of offshore wind
farms, SPT has developed a one piece
self installing wind turbine (SIWT
)concept, which allows transport and
installation of a wind turbine founda-
tion complete with pre-assembled
wind turbine. The SIWT concept has
flexibility in scheduling and a low-cost
/noise-free installation. SPT Offshore

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

All of the vessels’ rugged GRP con-
struction allows them to operate in
rough seas – a major advantage when

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

TOSEnergy & Maritime Manpower
TOS is an international service provider of personnel solutions. The right people on board. TOS specialises in personnel solutions for the maritime, offshore and wind energy industry. Our basic principles are quality and professionalism. Our customers’ success is essential. Recruiting one position or outsourcing a total crew is always given the same care. From our head office and our worldwide network of branch offices, joint ventures and partnerships, we serve the energy and maritime industry. Whether you’re in need of energy & maritime manpower, onshore professionals or a turnkey ship delivery, we deliver.
InstallationThe next step is the installation of the
wind turbine parts. Again, Green Pin
shackles are used to lift the parts into
place, often in combination with an
Excel rotating hoist ring so that the
parts can be manoeuvred easily.
MaintenanceOnce the wind turbine is properly
installed and has started to generate
energy, at some point it will become
necessary to carry out maintenance
works.
To make the maintenance people’s
lives easier, Van Beest can offer a line
of Super Green Pin shackles and grade
Made in EuropeGreen Pin shackles and Excel chain
components are made in our own fac-
tories. In Sliedrecht, the Netherlands,
we have a very modern upset forging
facility where Green Pin shackles are
manufactured.
In Celles sur Durolle near Clermont-
Ferrand in France our second forge is
located. Here we manufacture Excel
hooks and chain components in grade
8 and 10 and in stainless steel.
The fact that both brands are high
quality products manufactured in
Europe which comply with a wide range
of internationally recognised standards
have made them very valuable to
traditionally high-risk sectors like
mining and oil and gas production.
Over the last couple of years the
renewable energy sector has also
become more and more interested in
our high quality lifting products.
TransportationThe use of Van Beest products starts
already with the transportation of wind
turbine parts. The parts have to be
carried from various factories to the
final location where the wind turbine is
assembled.
Whether by truck or vessel, our Green
Pin turnbuckles and Green Pin shackles
are often used to lash the load securely
to the deck or floor, thus making sure
the parts reach their destination safely.

are much lighter than conventional
products with the same working load
limit, which makes it a lot easier to
bring the equipment to the rotor part
of the wind turbine.

Van Oord OWP is EPC contractor
for the supply and installation of
the inter array cables. The offshore
construction works for the Dutch
Eneco Luchterduinen wind farm has
been started in 2014.
In addition to our EPC activities we
provide construction services such
as scour protection and inter array
cable installation to the offshore wind
industry. Recently we have worked
on London Array, Greater Gabbard,
Sheringham Shoal and Dan Tysk.
Van Oord will be involved in the
Gemini Wind Farm project in the
Netherlands in two ways: as a project
shareholder (10%) and as an EPC
contractor during the building of the
wind farm. The EPC contract, with
Van Oord’s specialised division
‘Offshore Wind Projects’ offers both
EPC contracting and construction
services to the offshore wind industry.
During the past decade Van Oord has
been involved in many offshore wind
projects in Europe.
As EPC contractor Van Oord Offshore
Wind Projects is responsible for
engineering, procurement and
installation of the entire wind farm
except for the turbine supply.
With the successful completion of
the offshore wind parks Princess
Amalia windpark, Belwind Phase 1
and Teesside offshore wind farm,
we have proven our capability to
act as EPC contractor. The Dan Tysk
Project started in 2013, whereby
a total value of approximately EUR
1.3 billion, involves supplying and
installing the foundations, the entire
electrical infrastructure, including
the off- and onshore high-voltage
stations, the cables and installing the
wind turbines. Van Oord will deploy
the dedicated developed offshore
installation vessel Aeolus and the
new cable-laying vessel Nexus for the
construction of this wind farm.
Van Oord launched the Aeolus in
Spring 2014. This innovative and
advanced offshore installation vessel
will be used for the installation of
foundations and wind turbines. The
vessel is 139.40 metres long, 38.06
metres wide, with a draft of 5.70
metres and a speed of 12.00 knots.

Modern equipmentThe diversity of our equipment be-
comes really valuable when it is used
smartly. Our fleet varies in size and
tonnage and offers just-in-time ship-
ments for almost any type of project
cargo. Heavy transports – vertically by
any of our mobile or crawler cranes,
horizontally by our self-propelled or
conventional trailers – often require
millimetre work; even when this
involves wind-turbine components
that weigh many tonnes. Our atti-
tude enables us to take care of any
transport challenge in accordance with
the GL Noble Denton guidelines, when
required.
Emerging Eemshaven Our logistic hub in Eemshaven, located
near many offshore wind-farm devel-
opment areas, offers opportunities to
the wind-power industry. Our quay,
with large storage areas, is perfectly
suited to loading, unloading and tran-
shipment of wind-turbine components.
Our facilities are fully equipped for
pre-assembly of the components,
which will be supplied offshore with our
own barges and tugs.
In addition we provide services and
yard facilities for repair and mainte-
nance of wind-turbine components -
always safe, efficient and reliable.
Our passion to realise virtually incon-
ceivable projects on a daily basis is
always expressed in small gestures and

repairs, optimal preparation of the
repair operation, but also a follow-up
of the repair measures themselves.
As such a significant risk reduction is
achieved over 20 to 25 operational
years, the foreseen life span of a wind
farm. A proper remote monitoring
solution begins with identifying those
components and/or phenomena that
need to be tracked. Aspects to take into
account are the risks related to potential
issues with the component and the
amount of information that can be
gathered from the phenomenon.
Of interest are corrosion, dynamics,
stresses and deformations, scour...
In order to obtain real, advanced
information on the state of the offshore
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, including sensors and
backbone IT system
• Continuous (remote) readout of data
and data storage
• Maintenance and upgrading of soft-
ware and monitoring infrastructure
• Automated interpretation based
on acquired data, operational para-
meters, 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 exampleThe 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, 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
