What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new report from ABS indicates that the demand for high-capability offshore support vessels for floating offshore wind is expected to strengthen in the late 2020s. The report notes that availability constraints in certain vessel segments could emerge as early as 2029. Floating wind projects increase the need for vessels supporting towing, mooring installation, hook-up, and cable operations.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

As floating wind projects advance in Europe and Asia-Pacific, the industry will require a sufficient number of specialized vessels. Owners and operators must assess whether their existing offshore vessels can be adapted to meet the specific capabilities required for floating wind service.

Floating offshore wind projects are advancing in the Europe/Asia-Pacific region.
