Key insights

The global wind energy sector is on a rapid growth trajectory, with highly ambitious targets for installed capacity. To meet these goals, we must install larger turbines in deeper waters or less favorable soils, requiring bigger and heavier monopile foundations.

Contrary to the increasing demand, there is a foreseen shortage of installation vessels that are able to handle the future requirements of monopiles. Simply scaling up existing vessels, and equipment will no longer be sufficient.

To reach our targets, we need to innovate and challenge the current installation methods. In this white paper TWD advocates for a holistic approach by looking at the project-specific drivers. This approach leads to innovations that:

  • Optimize the existing fleet
  • Increase installation speed
  • Enhance operability
