WEBINAR: Future and Challenges of Offshore Wind

A webinar from the Benelux Branch.

The first presentation analyses the challenges and future of the offshore wind market (2030-2040). These trends are translated into a (vessel) concept to best serve Van Oord's clients. The lecture focusses on the challenges and future of the offshore wind market and how we adopt this into our vessel design.

Seaqualize develops and delivers heavy lift inline Active Heave Compensation (AHC) tools for the offshore (wind) market. With their technology, Seaqualize opens up the road to floating installation of offshore wind turbine components and even complete turbines at once. In the second presentation, Joris gives us technical insights in Sequalizes AHC and sketch what that could mean for the future of offshore windfarms.
