#SeaImpact2023Review: Do you know which vessel company installed the most foundation components in 2023?
It was DEME Group with a combined 236 foundation components installed between their vessels Innovation, Apollo, Orion 1 and Green Jade. Van Oord was the second most active with 169 foundation components installed between three vessels.
Keep in mind that the duration of installing a transition piece, a jacket or a suction bucket jacket often takes significantly less time than e.g., a set of pin-piles or a monopile.
Do you want more insight and KPIs about the offshore wind market? Reach out to our Project Manager, Lars-André Bugge Tobaben, for a demonstration of the Sea Impact Market Intelligence Platform.
Note: The chart displays the vessel company operating the vessel that installed the component. The EPCI contract for the installation may belong to another vessel company subcontracting the installation vessel.

Eidesvik, Agalas join forces for methanol-powered subsea vessel
Eidesvik Offshore and Norwegian shipowner Agalas have jointly ordered a new construction support vessel (CSV) for subsea and offshore wind operations.
The vessel, named Eidesvik Agalas, will run with methanol engines and a battery hybrid system and will be majority owned (50.1%) by Eidesvik. Plus, the joint venture has options for a further four vessels.
Alongside the battery hybrid system, dual-fuel generating sets will be capable of operating on either methanol or MGO.
The vessel will be built at the Sefine Shipyard in Turkey with delivery in early 2026. It will be able to perform IMR work and will go straight to a three- to five-year charter with Reach Subsea, with Eidesvik providing full management of the vessel, including crewing.
According to the co-venturers, demand for vessels in the subsea sector is about to outstrip supply, with continued growth in offshore wind this decade.
The new vessel will be 99.9 m long with a breadth of 21 m and capable of accommodating 100 people. It will have a 150-metric ton heave-compensated crane and a 900-sq-m deck area for conducting IMR and construction duties. https://bit.ly/4bGNaQl#methanol#alternativefuel#renewable#cleanfuel#futurefuel#energytransition#sustainable

Chevron and SEA-LNG member TotalEnergies, along with the shipowner and operator Seapeak have joined the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII), a growing initiative designed to combat methane slip in shipping which now has more than 20 members.
According to Bunkerspot, MAMII has announced that it has ‘selected four providers to produce feasibility studies on the technologies which will reduce methane emissions from ships, and that further details will be released soon’.
Key initiatives such as MAMII and GREEN RAY have begun addressing concerns around methane slip through onboard operational measurements of emissions for multiple vessel and engine types. These projects are now looking at methodologies and pilots that support the reduction and ultimately the elimination of methane slip through the development of new engine technologies and exhaust stack abatement solutions. Examples of this can be seen in the GREEN RAY Project where Wärtsilä has piloted technologies on the AURORA BOTNIA RoPax ferry resulting in methane slip reductions of up to 56% in one of its most popular dual fuel, low-pressure four-stroke engines.

Heart of the Compressors

Compressor valves are often referred to as the heart of the compressor, crucial for regulating the flow of gases and ensuring efficient operation. The quality of these valves directly impacts the performance, reliability, and longevity of the compressor. High-quality valves ensure precise control over intake and discharge cycles, minimizing energy consumption and reducing the risk of leaks and pressure drops. Conversely, inferior valves can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and frequent maintenance issues. Therefore, maintenance at regular intervals with high-quality internals is essential for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring the longevity of the entire compressor system.

Did Equinor just 'hint' that they won the two Danish Onshore licenses they applied for? (Article below from Energywatch in Danish) 🤐
... if so we are not surprised... 😏
Rumors are that the winners of the Danish Onshore Storage licenses have received their official 'offer letters'. Meanwhile the rest of the CCS community are awaiting the official announcement which is expected any day!
The large O&G companies are definitely the favorites in the field given their vast experience with exploration, strong safety records (which is extremely important in a new industry, developing in your backyard), deep pockets - and the so-called takeback obligation.
What we hope to see at CCUS Partners is real action, and a push to execute the exploration programs safely and fast, to develop a new onshore storage industry in Denmark. We are also fans of competition, - and although the O&G majors are well-positioned - it would be great to see other types of winners to make sure the O&G majors are not exclusively sitting on all the European storage licenses...

Heavy maintenance on floating offshore wind turbines is highly complex and presents a major challenge that must be addressed for floating projects to advance commercially.
Sea Impact helps you understand the operational challenges of these maintenance campaigns and assists you in making data-driven decisions by analyzing the tow-to-port operations of projects like Kincardine and Hywind Scotland.

As part of Equinor's Hywind Scotland Heavy Maintenance programme, the first of the five floating turbines (HS2) undergoing maintenance has been successfully repaired, towed back to site, and reconnected on the 15th of July 2024.
Sea Impact analyzed that turbine HS2 was towed to port mid-May by three Anchor-Handling Tug Vessels and remained moored at Wergeland Group's Base in Norway for a total of 51 days for repairs. Satellite images showed that the unit has had the nacelle and blades down during the Port-stay.
HS3 & HS5 are currently still moored in Port and undergoing repairs, while HS4 just arrived in Port after being towed end of last week.
The floating project features five 6MW machines from Siemens Gamesa, mounted on spar floaters. This is the second floating project that is seeing this kind of maintenance operation, with the first being two units at Kincardine back in 2022 and 2023, which you can read more about here: https://lnkd.in/dScXr-Pb
