📢  Calling all Supply Chain Manufacturing Companies 📢    Don’t miss out and sign up to attend the first in the upcoming mini-masterclass series looking at supply chain offshore wind opportunities. Secure your place and register today. During the day you will hear from Thistle Wind Partners, Forsyths Ltd, Energy Transition Zone Ltd, Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service (SMAS) and Scottish Enterprise 🔸 Offshore Wind Manufacturing Opportunities - Secondary Steel 🔸 Tuesday 5th March 2024 🔸 Marcliffe Hotel, Aberdeen ⏲ 9h00 - 14h30 🔷 Secondary Steel refers to elements that fit on the main (primary) structural elements. These elements enable functions such as access to the turbine and protection for ancillary components. Secondary steel includes a wide range of subcomponents, from small scale items such as brackets and doors to large structures such as I and J Tubes, boat landings and work platforms weighing up to 50 tonnes. #offshorewind #manufacturing #opportunities #supplychain #secondarysteel   Freda Miller, Jacqui Watt, Adam Swainbank, Laura Finlay, Andrew Rodden, Anna Maclaren, Kim Stephen, Rachel Cottiss, John Petchey, David Rennie, EIC (Energy Industries Council)

Scottish based manufacturing business? ✅ Keen to understand more about the opportunities in the offshore wind supply chain? ✅ This free webinar is for you. 👇 🧠 Offshore Wind Manufacturing Supply Chain Opportunities 📅 17 January 2024 ⏰ 10.00 - 11.00 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEzWJM3W The announcement of ScotWind and INTOG with over 30GW of projects has created significant opportunities for the offshore wind supply chain, especially in #manufacturing . This Scottish Enterprise free webinar in association with BVG Associates will focus on key manufacturing areas , including, secondary steel, cable protection, corrosion protection, moorings and anchors and cables and accessories. It will provide an insight into the types of components that can be manufactured, route to market, volume requirements and support available. #manufacturers #manufacturingindustry #opportunities #businessgrowth #offshorewind #supplychain #freewebinar #webinar #scotlandisnow

The SIM (Strategic Investment Model) announcement out today features a list of 32 offshore wind related port development and manufacturing projects with DeepWind cluster members leading 27 of these projects. Of the two projects going forward to Stage 2 both are DeepWind port members i.e. Port of Cromarty Firth and Global Energy Group at Port of Nigg. Both are also part of the Inverness & Cromarty Firth Green Freeport. The third project, which is also moving to Stage 2, has not yet been made public but is believed to be a major offshore wind manufacturing project. In another major development for the Scottish market the list features a wind turbine project from DeepWind member Mingyang Smart Energy along with a number of other manufacturing projects for offshore wind towers and XXL monopiles, pin piles, micropiles, secondary steel and subsea cables. Should all of these projects come to fruition they represent a huge number of jobs for the offshore wind sector in Scotland. That said, it could take years for some of the projects to be delivered as they rely on orders from the construction of the ScotWind and INTOG leasing round projects. This project list shows the sheer potential for job creation in Scotland's globally significant offshore wind market. #offshorewind #floatingwind #energytransition #scotwind #INTOG, #supplychain #advancedmanufacturing #manufacturing https://lnkd.in/dNH8eEGE

🚨 There are just under two weeks left to apply for The Crown Estate's Supply Chain Accelerator. The application window is currently open for an initial £10million first round of funding aimed at UK development projects that could support the deployment of floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea. 🌊 There are a few focus areas, including: ⚓ anchoring and mooring systems 🔌 floating platforms' dynamic cables and connectors 🛠 operations and maintenance The program will provide matched funding of up to £1million per project and eligible activities include concept design, technical studies, design feasibility, feasibility studies and investment case development. 💰 💡 There is plenty of scope for innovation and technology development in these focus areas, as they pose some of the biggest challenges to the successful, large scale deployment of floating offshore wind. However, if successful companies with clever solutions have the correct IP protection in place, then they may stand to benefit as the floating offshore wind industry continues to grow globally. 📅 Applications close on Tuesday 30th July at 18:00 A link to the application is in the comments. 👇 #innovation #intellectualproperty #IP #floatingoffshorewind #energy

📣 If you still haven't read it 👉 During an interview with the Erneuerbare Energien Hamburg (EEHH), our colleague Thomas van der Laan gave an insight into our services and international activities, particularly in the USA. He also explains our vision of how #WINDEA can offer holistic logistics solutions in connection with the construction and operation of offshore wind farms in the future by combining the various services of all our shareholders and partners. ➡ We think it's worth reading 😉 https://lnkd.in/e9uvQYuF

Many thanks to the organisers of the SEANERGY BY BLUESIGN conference for having me (online) as well as to moderator Lisa Louis and my co-panelist Cláudia Lucas 🙏 It was a pleasure discussing our current view of the German offshore wind market following the results of the 2.5 GW negative bidding auction a few days ago! In a nutshell: We are in favour of a reform of the tender design - each bidder should only be able to win one sites and sites should have a capacity of 1-1.5 GW. The EU's Net Zero Industry Act will further ensure a stronger focus on qualitative criteria and introduce prequalification criteria. In addition to the price pressure from negative bidding, the challenges for developers and the supply chain include the infrastructure and industrial capacity as well as vessel availability bottleneck around 2030 caused by an expansion peak in several European markets. #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #offshorewindindustry #auctions #Germany #NZIA #energiewende Thanks for the picture, Patrick Browne!

A good read from my colleague Sam Salustro on the coast to coast impact #offshorewind is responsible for at this very moment. The U.S. market has made great strides in supply chain, infrastructure, and permitting, while states are driving the market, demanding more power generation. The real groundwork being laid is staggering, and Oceantic Network is tracking all of it. Thousands of well-paying American jobs, $2 billion (yes, billion) of new investments in the first six months of this year alone, and four commercial-scale projects under construction, with more approved and under review in the pipeline.

Cadeler confirms that it has placed an order to build its third state-of-the-art A-class wind farm installation vessel. This will be the eleventh vessel in Cadeler’s fleet. Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/es6gSMYh Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler, said: “The decision to build a third A-class vessel is based on the strong market demand for assets specialising in installing foundations. We have already signed firm contracts and entered a long-term agreement with Ørsted for our first A-class vessel from 2027 to 2030 and we are in advanced contract negotiations to secure capacity from our second A-class.” The P- and A-class vessels are built in close cooperation with Cadeler’s strategic partners, which include GustoMSC, NOV, Kongsberg Maritime, Huisman and MAN Energy Solutions.
