The offshore wind supply chain can boost profits despite challenging times ahead, according to a new report from Shoreline Wind. https://lnkd.in/eJASjjb7

Since moving to the US from Norway, I’ve seen firsthand how the sentiment around wind energy is under pressure. The industry is at a crossroads, and I’m glad to have been able to share my insights on this in a recent report on supply chain challenges for offshore wind. Rising costs, tight margins, and shifting political and economic priorities are putting immense pressure on the supply chain, making it more important than ever to adapt strategically. In the report, I highlight how 40% of a turbine’s value in offshore wind is created internally by OEMs, compared to the automotive sector, where less than 10% is created in-house, with the rest handled by highly-skilled subcontractors. This example signals the need for greater collaboration with the supply chain to unlock efficiency, innovation, and long-term resilience. The solution isn’t clear, but focusing on core strengths is essential for driving profitability. When companies concentrate on what they do best, they help build a collaborative ecosystem that can tackle these challenges more effectively. I’m also glad to share the stage with other industry experts in the report, including Julian Brown from SENSEWind, Rob Gilbert from Baringa, and Lizet R. Ramirez from WindEurope, who offer valuable perspectives on addressing supply chain challenges. While the challenges are real, I believe focusing on specialization, collaboration, and long-term strategies gives us a way forward. Get Shoreline Wind’s report here https://hubs.ly/Q0342h5R0

To address this, Shoreline Wind has published a new report, “𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗦: 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱.” The report takes a deep dive into the systemic challenges facing the supply chain and offers practical solutions going forward. The report emphasizes that companies in the supply chain should prioritize their core strengths to drive profitability and attract investment. Governments and developers hold the key to strengthening the supply chain through smarter policies, innovative tender criteria, and support for smaller firms with better contracts, digital tools, and streamlined operations to help meet 2030 targets.s The report features insights from industry experts: Julian Brown, Non-Executive Chair, SENSEWind Rob Gilbert, Partner, Baringa Lizet Ramirez, Senior Analyst, WindEurope Ole-Erik Endrerud Founder and Chief Product Officer, Shoreline Wind 📒 Read the full report here: https://hubs.ly/Q0341_YB0 #OffshoreWind #SupplyChain #WindEnergy

This article in Wind Systems Magazine reminds me why I'm so passionate about what we do. Floating wind has come a long way - from a bold idea to a proven global technology 🌍 Since 2016, Principle Power has leveraged our simulation tools to plan and optimise floating wind projects around the world, from Portugal to South Korea. Together, we’ve taken on the complexity of offshore environments and pushed the limits of what’s possible. Every simulation, every project, makes an impact - better decisions, lower costs, less risk. Thanks, in part, to the collaboration between Shoreline Wind and Principle Power, floating wind is no longer a “what if” - it’s happening. 👉 See what I’m talking about here: https://hubs.ly/Q032PBPY0 📸 Photo: WindFloat Atlantic - Principle Power & Ocean Winds #FloatingWind #OffshoreWind #WindEnergy

What’s Shaping Offshore Wind in 2025? 🌍 The offshore wind industry is on track for massive growth, but it won’t come without challenges. Governments are adjusting policies, developers are navigating risks, and floating wind is taking key steps toward scaling up. So, what trends will define success in 2025? We’ve identified 5 critical shifts you need to know - covering everything from tender strategies to supply chain bottlenecks and skills shortages.

2.453.160 million simulations for wind energy. This exact action - clicking ‘Run Simulation’ - has been done 2.453.160 times in 2024 alone. Each click represents a step toward making wind projects more efficient. More than 500 GW of bottom-fixed, floating, and onshore wind projects have been supported, covering assembly, shuttle, feeder, and floating-based installations, as well as maintenance planning. But what’s really exciting is imagining how each of those simulations played a role in building more wind power - helping developers and OEMs make smarter decisions, reduce risks, and accelerate wind project deployment. The message sent by these numbers is clear: AI-driven solutions are no longer a distant concept for the wind industry.

A Winter Welcome to Brave Tern! - Our Office Neighbor 🎄❄️ Winter in Esbjerg has brought more than frosty mornings - it’s also brought Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s Brave Tern to Port Esbjerg. Arriving earlier this week, we have a front-row seat from our office windows to this impressive vessel, standing tall and ready to support the green energy transition. The Brave Tern is one of the most advanced offshore wind turbine installation vessels. Recently upgraded with a crane capacity at 1,600 tonnes at 31m outreach and 157.5 meters over deck, capable of installing next-generation turbines of 15 MW-plus capacity. With 3200 m² of deck space and the ability to work in water depths of up to 60 meters, it’s a powerhouse built to handle even the most ambitious offshore wind projects. For now, our Shoreline Wind Esbjerg team will enjoy the view of the Brave Tern, keeping watch over our office during the Christmas season. Soon, it will head out on its next mission to help drive offshore wind energy forward. #OffshoreWind #Vessel #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Esbjerg

The offshore wind industry is entering a new phase of growth, with 138GW of capacity set to be delivered by 2028. Which is great! But if you’re an EPCI contractor juggling vessel shortages, supply chain challenges, and unpredictable weather… it can be quite complex. In our latest blog, we share how digital tools and AI modeling technology can help you optimize T&I strategies, dodge costly bottlenecks, and keep projects on track. Curious how it works? The article tackles the T&I puzzle with simulating scenarios - like getting foundations from Ferrol, blades from Hull, and nacelles from Cuxhaven to Esbjerg for pre-assembly - while keeping vessels, weather, and timelines in check. 🔗 Read full the blog here: https://hubs.ly/Q02_TXP_0 And if you’ve got 20 minutes and a coffee, our on-demand webinar with Shoreline Wind's CPO Ole-Erik Endrerud dives even deeper into the software that make it happen. 🔗 Watch the webinar here: https://hubs.ly/Q02_TXdq0 #OffshoreWind #WindEnergy #WindPower #RenewableEnergy
