Key insights
Current installation methods, while proven, are nearing their operational limits. The growing size and weight of monopiles are surpassing the capabilities of existing heavy lift vessels, creating a critical bottleneck in the supply chain. With a shortage of suitable vessels and infrastructure, the industry must rethink how next-generation monopiles are transported and installed.
This white paper explores how the offshore wind sector can break through these constraints by embracing innovation and reimagining traditional approaches. We examine:
- Market outlook: A forward view of offshore wind development
- State-of-the-art vessels and equipment: What’s available today and why simply scaling up is not enough
- How to change our way of thinking: Testing the limits of current installation methods and the benefits of working in a holistic matter
- Innovative installation methods: Lean solutions that enhance operability and reduce offshore cycle time
