Offshore Wind Turbine Installation
The Advantages: Large (60,000 m² or more) clear deck floating port and supply base. Safe installation for wind turbine generators of any size and height. Minimizes footprint in sensitive coastal areas. The
We are redefining offshore wind turbine installations. National Ports Corporation Limited has developed a new safe and secure technology that has potential to redefine floating ports around the world.
The availability of surface area and facilities for helicopters and vessel deployment, in order to be able to transport personnel to the offshore wind farms quickly, is therefore a relevant factor. Ports also function as moorings for various specialist offshore vessels. Some offshore ports cooperate with each other.
In this regard, ports – particularly those with sufficient supply of surface area for production halls, storage, assembly and loading areas - are well-placed to meet the requirements of offshore wind industry companies looking for a base.
And off the back of a central role in offshore wind, your port could also develop a larger role in energy transition. It could be a homebase to offshore installation companies, landing hub for offshore electricity and other energy carriers, and a transport hub of new energy sources and alternative fuels.
The Advantages: Large (60,000 m² or more) clear deck floating port and supply base. Safe installation for wind turbine generators of any size and height. Minimizes footprint in sensitive coastal areas. The
The role of ports There are some common requirements for port modifications needed to facilitate offshore wind development projects. These include: Sufficient water depths and access channel
