BMS HEAVY CRANES’ Post

Under the heading "North Europe Offshore Wind Port Alliance" we will highlight the significant gap between European Offshore Wind ambitions and availability of suitable port facilities. One of several elements to solve this, is closer cooperation between individual ports as well as between the port community and other stakeholders, such as developers, OEM’s and T&I’s 🤝 🌍 The talk will discuss the port challenges and provide innovative approach to address those seeking to engage the entire value chain for offshore wind and encourage the urgency of tackling the common challenges that ports represent. 📅 19.06.2024 🕐 13:45 📍 Global Offshore Wind 👋 david ottesen and Kristine Edvinson #RUKGOW24

Offshore wind platforms take advantage of higher wind speeds and greater wind consistency, generating more power than onshore turbines. Constructed on platforms tethered to the seabed, they potentially allow for an even greater number of turbines in deeper waters. All leading floating foundation concepts for offshore wind turbines require mooring to the seabed and these mooring systems have various bearing considerations.

A major step for SCA into onshore expansion.

From the Baltic ports with love 💚 Today I moderated a panel discussion at the Wind Works 2024 conference in Riga. We discussed the role and need of ports in the success of the offshore wind industry. It was a good discussion both about concrete plans, but also financing, sharing risk between private and public financing, as well as lead time for port development. In my view, I often see offshore wind being projected a bit too "simple". There are high political goals of this and that amount of GW offshore wind capacity by this and that year. And definitely we need that! However, we also have to remember that there is an entire supply chain that needs to be ready to reach those ambitious goals, and ports play a big role in that supply chain. So from Baltic ports with love 💚 but also with conditions, because we need time to be ready. And we would love it if the industry could agree on some sort of standard for the wind turbines, cause the larger the elements, the more challenging it becomes for us as ports to provide the infrastructure that the industry needs for successful offshore wind projects. Thank you very much for your participation in the discussions, despite the bit challenging sound to Margus Vihman Uldis Hmielevskis Mark Bot and Neil Wilkinson

Oh dear! Another blow for Norway's 1.5GW Sørlige Nordsjø offshore wind tender as EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG has said its subsidiary Norseman Wind AS won't bid due to problems with the regulatory regime. The company was named as one of five pre-qualified bidders last month, but has now said it will not bid in the tender on 18th March because of concerns about the need to build and own the high-voltage interconnector; and limits on state support. This echoes concerns voiced by fellow pre-qualified bidder Shell last month. The silver lining is this indicates EnBW is showing cost discipline in its bids, and ruling out those where it doesn't feel it can make the numbers work. The firm also said it is still committed to the Norwegian market. But we can't ignore the fact that this silver lining comes with a massive cloud. This means the number of engaged pre-qualified bidders in this tender now potentially stands at just three (if we assume Shell won't be bidding), which is looking a little threadbare. We announced those pre-qualified bidders here on 16th February: https://lnkd.in/eVWJwjde There may be more twists and turns here before final bids are even submitted.
