Webinar: Vessel Innovation to Support the Growing Offshore Wind Market
Demand for wind farm support vessels is expected to increase in order to support planned construction projects for both fixed and floating offshore wind farms. In The International Energy Agency’s (IEA’s) recent report Offshore Wind Outlook, global offshore wind capacity is anticipated to reach 560GW by 2040, totaling $840 billion investment.
