Floating wind is waiting to deployed at scale to kick off cost reduction. Current challenges predominantly include lack of port capacities as most floating tech that is maturing requires full port assembly and maintenance via turbines being towed to port and back, instead of on-site repairs like in conventional, fixed-bottom offshore wind. It’s expected that calls for standardization will be a focal point in this industry too as there are currently nearly 100 technology designs.
Speakers
– Axelle Viré, Professor Floating Offshore Wind at TU Delft
– Remco Boersma, Director Contracting & Construction at Ventolines
– Tommy Sandtorv, CCO Karmsund Port at Karmsund Port Authority
– Richard den Hollander, Global Business Development and Account Management Director at Seaway 7
