INTRODUCTION Dear reader, The second edition of the Offshore WIND International Business Guide is ready. IBG’13 is bigger and better. There are more companies profiled and, new this year, in their specific categories to provide you with a head start when looking for specific content.

As in the successful IBG’12, the IBG’13 has once again included the international market news. This is where the international wind energy associations provide you with their insight into the current status and plans for future offshore wind projects in their countries. Following this section we have the detailed profiles of over 70 international companies promoting their role in this vibrant industry.

In the comprehensive search section you can look for companies in either the A – Z index, or by the category, or categories, in which the companies are also active.

Companies with profiles in print will also be able to keep a proactive profile online on www.offshoreWIND.biz under the Business Guide Tab. For current news of their activities

check these pages out on the number one news site for the offshore wind industry.

2013 has every expectation for being an exceptional year in this new industry, planning and building new projects, and not forgetting the O&M work on the ever increasing number of new offshore wind farms reaching operational status. We will be pleased if the IBG’13 introduces you to new opportunities and links for new contracts in 2013.

Even if you have missed the opportunity to be published in the IBG’13 you can still take out an online profile at any time. Just contact the magazine for details of both online and the IBG’14.

EWEA European Wind Energy Association

The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) is the largest and most powerful wind energy networks in the world. It is the voice of the wind industry in Europe and is ideally situated in the heart of the EU quarter in Brussels in close proximity to European decision makers.

EWEA has over 700 members from almost 60 countries, including manufacturers with a leading share of the world wind power market, plus component suppliers, research institutes, national wind and renewables associations, developers, electricity providers, finance and insurance companies and consultants. This combined strength makes EWEA the world’s largest and most powerful wind energy network.

The association’s main activities centre on coordinating international policy and formulating policy positions for the wind industry on key issues, communications, research and analysis both independent and in cooperation with industry and research institutions, and providing support to members. EWEA also organises high profile industry events including the EWEA annual event, the bi-annual offshore conference and workshops in the EU and beyond.

EWEA’s communication activities include producing a large variety of information tools, managing high profile campaigns in support of wind energy, producing a bimonthly magazine and a blog updated several times a week, and frequent press-related activities all aimed at raising awareness of the benefits of wind energy, dispelling the myths and providing easy access to comprehensive information. Our aim is to communicate that wind energy is a popular, mainstream power technology and a key solution to the emerging energy, climate and jobs crises.

10

Our overall mission is to ensure that wind energy will be the leading technology in transforming the global energy supply structure towards a truly sustainable energy future based on indigenous, non-polluting and competitive renewable technologies.

To do this we use effective communication and engagement in the political decision-making processes to facilitate the national and international policies needed to strengthen the development of European and global wind energy markets, infrastructure development and improvement of technology.

Current Status Wind energy has been growing very strongly in the last 10 to 15 years to the point where it is a mainstream power generating technology. Near the end of September 2012 there were 100GW of wind energy capacity installed in the European Union, providing more than 6.3% of its electricity, avoiding CO2 equivalent to 31% of the EU’s Kyoto Protocol obligation and representing €12.6bn of annual investments. While the initial pioneers of wind energy were Denmark, Spain and Germany, more recently a new wave of strong onshore wind energy markets has been emerging, including countries like Romania, Poland and Belgium.

The other major area of growth is of course offshore wind energy, with the most significant additions made last year in the UK, now the global offshore market leader, Denmark and Belgium. Cumulatively, by the end of 2011 there were 53 wind farms in the waters of 10 European countries, totalling 3,813MW. In just the first six months of 2012, eight new offshore farms, 132 new turbines, came online, reaching a total of 1,503 turbines with a capacity of 4,336MW in 56 wind farms.

The enormous potential of the offshore wind energy is celebrated, analysed and explored further at EWEA’s biannual EWEA OFFSHORE conference and exhibition. It is the world’s largest offshore wind energy event. EWEA OFFSHORE 2013 will occur 19-21 November in Frankfurt.

For more information: www.ewea.org/offshore2013.

Future Outlook By 2025, EWEA expects offshore capacity to exceed the capacity of wind operating onshore at the end of 2010, and is expected to exceed onshore capacity altogether beyond 2030.

EWEA estimates that by 2020 there will be 40GW of offshore wind energy capacity, providing 4% of Europe’s electricity, and that by 2030, there will be 150GW offshore, providing 14% of EU electricity demand. Annual investments in

European Wind Energy Association asbl Wind Power House Rue d’Arlon 80 1040 Brussels Belgium T +32 22 13 18 11 ewea@ewea.org www.ewea.org

offshore wind power are expected to increase from €2.8bn in 2011 to €10.4bn in 2020 and to €17.1bn in 2030.

However, to enable industry to develop the market, governments and EU must ensure a progressive and stable policy framework including a binding 2030 renewable energy target, implementation of a single market in electricity, and actions to ensure the constructions of an offshore grid. In addition, EWEA has long called for governments to facilitate R&D investment to enable the technology to follow the same cost reductions as onshore wind.

The industry, meanwhile, must work with the private sector to overcome supply chain bottlenecks and with the relevant institutions to deal with skills shortages while the financial sector needs to become more familiar with opportunities and challenges of offshore wind.

AWEA American Wind Energy Association

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is the national trade association representing a broad range of entities with a common interest in encouraging the deployment and expansion of wind energy resources in the United States. AWEA has nearly 2,000 members and advocates which include wind turbine manufacturers, component suppliers, project developers, project owners and operators, financiers, researchers, renewable energy supporters, utilities, marketers, customers, and their advocates.

AWEA is pleased to support the growing momentum within the U.S. offshore wind industry. Offshore wind’s significant job creation potential, proven environmental benefits and close proximity to demand have attracted the interest of various regions, with developers pursuing projects along the East Coast, and in the Gulf of Mexico and Great Lakes. Continued and expanding commitment from states, the federal government and environmental organisations bolsters the prospects for the offshore wind industry in America.

With nearly 1,000 attendees and 100 exhibitors, AWEA’s 2012 Offshore WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition demonstrates the building momentum in the U.S. offshore sector. The 2013 Offshore WINDPOWER Conference and Exhibition, being held October 22-24 in Providence, Rhode Island, is poised to build on the successes of the last event, just as companies expect to reach new benchmarks along the way to making the U.S. offshore wind industry a reality. For more information, please visit: www. offshorewindexpo.org.

Significant Milestones Achieved State and federal processes for developing offshore wind in the U.S. are well underway. Although hurdles exist and major milestones still need to be reached, the offshore industry in the U.S. has made important advances, including in the past year.

12

This past summer, on the federal Congressional level, the Senate Finance Committee approved, with a strong 19-5 bipartisan vote, a package of tax extenders that includes the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for offshore wind projects as well as the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for land-based wind projects. This achievement bodes well for future efforts to ensure that these critical extensions are signed into law.

On the regulatory side, in early 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) unveiled a coordinated strategic plan, A National

Offshore Wind Strategy: Creating an Offshore Wind Industry in the United States, which seeks to achieve the deployment of 10GW of offshore wind capacity by 2020 and 54GW by 2030. Since then there has been significant progress at DOI including: • A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Mid-Atlantic Wind Energy Areas (WEA), which means that leases can now be issued in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia without the need for preparation and federal review of an environmental impact statement, a process that could have taken at least two years; • The first lease granted under the Smart from the Start Initiative to NRG Bluewater Wind off the coast of the state of Delaware; • Publication of a draft Environmental Assessment for the Rhode Island-Massachusetts WEA that could lead to a FONSI; • Determinations of No Competitive Interest for the Atlantic Wind Connection’s offshore transmission system and Deepwater Wind’s transmission line from its Block Island Wind Farm to the Rhode Island mainland; and • The finalisation of the form that BOEM will use to issue offshore wind energy leases.

Also making progress were other developers including: • Cape Wind, which received a Determination of No Hazard from the Federal Aviation Administration and announced the purchase of a marina for its operations and maintenance facility, • Fishermen’s Energy, which received all necessary federal and state permits to begin construction of its Atlantic City Wind Farm.

Significant Investment in Research and Development The research and development (R&D) focus in the U.S. has been on both near-term, shallow-water deployments in the Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Gulf of Mexico in order

to jump start a commercial market, as well on strategic investment in technology that is longer-term, such as floating foundations for projects in deeper water. The DOE is committed to lowering the levelised cost of energy, accelerating permitting timelines, and promoting public and utility acceptance across regions with strong wind resources and developer interests.

As an example, in order to help speed these technical innovations and drive down costs, last year, DOE announced the commitment of $43 million in funding for 41 projects across twenty states.

Of these, 19 projects received $26.5 million to aid in the development of engineering modeling and analysis tools that will help to lower overall offshore facility costs and to facilitate development of the next generation of largescale turbines. This includes R&D for innovations in key components, such as floating support structures and turbine rotor and control subsystems.

Finally, in March of this year, the DOE made a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects as part of a six-year $180 million initiative. The overarching goal of this FOA is to provide funding for one near-term pilot scale project (2014) and several medium-term utility scale installations (2015-17) that can verify innovative designs and technology developments and help lower costs.

Looking Ahead The offshore wind industry in the U.S. is well positioned for significant growth in the coming years and AWEA is committed to continuing the collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure that the U.S. can realise the many benefits of offshore wind as soon as possible.

13

Furthermore, 22 projects received $16.5 million to research project design factors, such as environmental impact assessment and characterisation of offshore wind

resources. These projects also focus on removing market barriers to investment and infrastructure development, including addressing long-term manufacturing needs, port requirements, and transmission grid integration.

DWIA Danish Wind Industry Association

What started as a visionary experiment back in 1991 with the first offshore wind farm ever, has now become a global industry with Denmark continuing the role as a leading wind cluster for more than 20 years. With a new ambitious energy agreement, Denmark has a clear political goal of 50% wind energy in the electricity system in 2020.

This exceptional goal will see 1.500MW of new offshore capacity installed by 2020 and the Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) is positioned right in the middle of this development, representing more than 240 Danish companies.

Especially across the Northern European waters we are seeing a wave of new projects and plans for future wind farms. Denmark has a very favourable geographical position in this offshore adventure and DWIA is pleased to represent the companies within the industry with the most offshore wind experience. The Danish supply chain includes the most productive manufacturers of offshore wind turbines along with world leading installation, transport, service, consulting, and energy companies.

The wave of offshore activity is also sweeping across Danish waters with the decision to build two new offshore wind farms by 2020. The new Kriegers Flak wind farm will be the first to power two countries – Denmark and Germany – with a 600MW capacity. Additional 500MW are being developed as near-shore turbines between 4-20 kilometres from shore, enabling neighbouring citizens and businesses to buy parts of the projects, thus ensuring a continuation of the Danish tradition of local ownership.

14

In 2012 the first turbines in the 400MW Anholt offshore wind farm were connected to the grid, delivering the first electricity from what is to be Denmark’s largest offshore farm. 2012 also marked the opening of the new National Test Centre in Østerild, which will hold seven test turbines of up to 250 metres high. This facility enables manufacturers to test ‘next generation’ turbines in a unique and rough environment in close collaboration with Danish universities.

Cost of Energy down, Value of Wind up Ever since the first turbines where placed offshore the industry has focused on bringing down the cost of energy from offshore wind. Throughout the recent decades the cost of energy from onshore turbines has become so low

that it is a competitive alternative to fossil fuels. Compared to onshore technology, offshore turbines still have some way to go. Therefore, bringing the cost of energy down and the value of wind up, will be the overall challenge for the offshore industry in the coming decade, and to meet this challenge innovative solutions must be developed.

In the past few years, the Danish wind industry and the research community have addressed the main R&D challenges in an offshore strategy from the joint strategic partnership ‘Megavind’, which has a stated goal of a 50% cost reduction for offshore wind in 2020.

In the pursuit of cutting costs and increasing competitiveness of offshore wind DWIA is establishing a new offshore networking hub in 2013, aimed at helping the industry cooperate and identify and face challenges in the offshore industry.

Estonia, situated in the heart of the windy Baltic Sea Region, does not have any offshore wind parks yet but according to the recently conducted Basrec-wind study the northernmost Baltic state has close to 1500MW potential capacity in golden sites where offshore wind could successfully be harnessed to generate electricity.

These so called golden sites were based on an initial evaluation of the three primary cost drivers for offshore wind deployment (wind speed, water depth and distance from shore) together with exclusion of the environmentally protected areas.

Legal framework The Water Act is the main legislation that regulates offshore wind farm planning in Estonia, including the use and protection of water, and relations between landowners and water users. A building permission to build and a permit for the special use of water is required to operate an offshore wind farm in Estonia. Also, the owner of an offshore wind farm must pay an annual charge for using a site in an area of public water. This is enacted by the Electricity Market Act. National need There are two national documents that can be considered as pointers for investors when it comes to offshore wind energy development in Estonia. The Development Plan of the Estonian Electricity Sector adopted three years ago foresees 500MW offshore wind energy installed by the end of 2018. However, the more current National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) predicts that offshore wind need only generate 250MW by 2020 to reach the EU 2020 target for Estonia. The action plan also notes that installing offshore wind farms in Estonia may prove to be more economically favourable than in other EU regions. This makes investment in wind power development in Estonia interesting for those countries that would have difficulty meeting the objectives arising from the Renewable Energy Directive. Therefore, Estonia is currently actively exploring EU cooperation mechanisms and possible partners.

16

At the same time the Estonian Government recently initiated Marine Spatial Planning in pilot sea areas that border with Pärnu and Hiiu County. These areas overlap with the zones of Estonia’s two offshore wind farm projects – Gulf of Riga and Hiiumaa - belonging to Estonia’s two biggest wind energy operators.

Three projects undergoing The state owned utility Eesti Energia, plans to erect wind turbines in the region of the Gulf of Riga with a total capacity up to 700MW. They have made feasibility studies and are currently considering areas south and southwest of Kihnu island – the largest island in the Gulf of Riga.

The biggest wind energy producer in the Baltic States Nelja Energia is running the Hiiumaa offshore wind farm project where approximately 200 turbines with a total capacity also up to 700MW are planned to the shoals north, north-west and west of Hiiumaa – Estonia’s second biggest island.

There is also 190MW offshore wind energy project on the Neugrund Reef off the north-western coast of Estonia that is developed by Neugrund OÜ.

All three offshore projects are in different stages of environmental studies.

Role of the national industry As mentioned, Estonia has great potential in developing offshore wind power but this small country is interested in taking it one step further. Already today the majority of wind generators manufactured globally by ABB is made in Estonia. The Estonian Wind Power Cluster that operates under the Estonian Wind Power Association has looked into several ways how other companies could also take part in the rapidly and innovatively evolving wind power industry. Considering Estonia’s existing know-how and experience, it appears that offshore wind energy will offer the best opportunities.

Estonia has a long history in shipbuilding and is known for its excellent metalworking skills and so it is no surprise that shipyards are today also adapting to serve the offshore wind industry. Take for example BLRT group that manufactures various structures and special mounts for both on- and offshore wind farms. They also build catamaran support, and jack up crane vessels, both extremely appropriate for this dynamic industry.

The wind power development in Finland has been relatively slow and the installed capacity was still a modest 199MW by the end of 2011. Thanks to an effective feedin-tariff system, the wind power development has boomed in 2012 though. By the end of October 2012 the pipeline had reached 9,000MW. Installed capacity increased in 2012 by more than 100MW and a further 150MW at least is due in 2013.

The pipeline includes 3,000MW worth of offshore projects.

The current feed-in-tariff, 83.5 â‚Ź/MWh, is not sufficient for these projects. The government of Finland has started to design an investment subsidy for a large demonstration offshore project. This is very good news for the Finnish wind farm developers.

With the demonstration project the overall supply chain necessary for a large offshore wind farm can be tested.

The demonstration offshore wind farm can also be used to define the correct feed-in-tariff level for offshore projects in Finland.

The conditions where Finnish developers develop their wind farms differ from those of other countries. The Finnish waters are rather shallow; typically the wind farms are planned in areas where the water depth is between 5 and 20 meters. Also the distance between the shore and the wind farm location is relatively short, typically between few hundred meters to 20 kilometres.

The main difference between the Finnish and other European offshore projects is the weather. In Finland the sea can be frozen for several months a year. This sets high requirements for the turbine foundations and towers. They should be able to resist the force of packed ice that the wind will sometimes push towards the offshore constructions.

The ice can also limit the access to the turbine and make the maintenance a greater problem than for onshore turbines.

All these issues can be managed with thorough planning of the project.

18

There are currently 11 semi-offshore wind turbines (on artificial islands), one offshore wind turbine and one offshore test foundation and a tower in Finland. The test foundation was installed in summer 2009 few hundred meters outside of Kemi and the offshore turbine in the summer of 2010, a few hundred meters offshore from Pori.

The results from both of these sites have been promising: there has been no damage to the test foundation or the

offshore turbine caused by ice. These results together with the demonstration subsidy for a larger offshore wind farm promised by the Finnish Government provide very encouraging news for the Finnish wind farm developers.

The Finnish Wind Power Association (FWPA) is a nongovernmental organisation that promotes Wind Energy and increases the wind energy knowledge in Finland.

FWPA is also active in the public and political discussion concerning the wind energy issues.

The association has member companies from various fields of business, and includes, for example, project developers, turbine manufacturers, consultants and component or material producers. All of these companies share the same point of view concerning the wind power: it is a good and beneficial energy production method that should be promoted in Finland. Currently FWPA has got about 200 private individuals and over 140 company members.

German OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY FOUNDATION In 2012 the debate concerning offshore grid connection and the associated liability issues regarding delays or interruptions was the central topic for the German offshore sector, and it will continue to be relevant this year. Following the adoption of the Third Act Revising the Legislation Governing the Energy Sector (EnWG-E) in December 2012, a new grid connection regime for offshore wind farms in Germany will take effect at the beginning of 2013. This is a significant milestone in the evolution of the legal framework governing construction of the electricity grid in the North Sea and Baltic. Now it is essential to fill this framework with substance and to implement the system change rapidly and efficiently. If this happens, Germany will set an important milestone, also internationally.

Current development status of offshore wind By the end of 2012, half a dozen offshore wind farms with a combined power of close to 2,000MW were either under construction or in operation in the Baltic and North Seas. Construction will commence on a further 1,000MW during 2013. The offshore sector currently employs over 10,000 people in Germany.

Grid connection: Initial difficulties TenneT TSO (Transmission System Operator), the TSO in charge for the North Sea, has not awarded any new contracts for grid connections in Germany since the end of 2011. The reason for this is that under the original system every licensed wind farm fulfilling a defined set of criteria had the legal right to grid connection. The grid operator TenneT found itself overwhelmed by connection requests on the single and cluster levels. A political solution was urgently needed.

20

The unresolved questions relating to the expansion of the grid then resulted in a climate of uncertainty which pervaded the entire sector. Suppliers, ports, shipyards and the whole maritime economy are all in need of follow-up contracts since further investment in the construction of wind farms has been placed on hold until the legal issues surrounding offshore grid connection in general, and liability questions regarding delays and disruptions of grid connection in particular, have been clarified.

System change: On route to an offshore grid plan The revision of the Legislation Governing the Energy Sector (EnWG) addresses the past deficits regarding grid connection of offshore wind farms, and the difficulties arising from these, by adopting a comprehensive approach.

On the one hand, the legislation covers the development of a comprehensive offshore grid development plan, a binding set of roadmaps for their realisation, and a variety of damage mitigation strategies which are intended to pave the way for an economically efficient expansion of the grid.

The offshore grid development plan will be prepared by the transmission grid operators in the first quarter of this

year. It is expected to be officially released by the Federal Network Agency in March which will then launch a series of public consultations. The new legal framework must now be swiftly filled with substance in order to prevent any more delays in the further development of offshore wind energy in Germany. In addition, the transition phase must be implemented sensibly, since the ‘old’ system will still apply to those wind farms starting construction in 2013.

An early priority is for the transmission grid operator to commission the three outstanding grid connections in the North Sea (DolWin3 and BorWin3 and 4) as soon as possible. The legal specification of liability provisions has cleared the path for potential investors. The Offshore Wind Energy Foundation believes that the German promotional bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) should temporarily involve itself financially in TenneT TSO in order to circumvent any additional delays in the commissioning of these remaining grid connection systems.

Moreover, in order to further minimise risks and reduce medium to long term costs, the establishment of uniform standards for HVDC converter platforms and cables are crucial. Another key measure is the development of a meshed offshore grid. If a grid connection should fail, then the output from that wind farm can be temporarily relayed through a neighbouring station.

The transition phase to the new system requires a particularly efficient and flexible approach to grid connection management. Should one or another wind farm be completed earlier or later than planned, then the electricity generated could also be routed through neighbouring converter stations – provided there is a high level of coordination with binding agreements .

Stable framework is crucial A solid political framework is an essential prerequisite to build up momentum within the German offshore wind energy sector over the next years. In addition to the Legislation Governing the Energy Sector (EnWG), this

includes stable and adequate provisions for offshore wind in the the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Only then can the entire offshore wind industry supply chain benefit properly throughout the whole of Germany, from German Offshore Wind Farms the coastal states in the North down south to North-Rhine Westfalia, Bavaria and Baden-WĂźrttemberg.

The practical experiences from construction and operation during the initial phase of expansion to 3,000MW are critical for our capacity to develop sustainable concepts for installation, operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms in the future. The debate over energy policy with Kiel respect to offshore grid connection in Germany, andKiel the lessons learned during this process, especially with regard to standardisation and risk minimisation, can be relevant for the growth of a European offshore grid. An offshore wind energy industry close to base load demand is and will be an essential and increasingly important component of Hamburg the energy mix in Germany and Europe, and will remain so in the future.

IWEA Irish Wind Energy Association

Established in 1993, the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA) is the national body representing the wind energy sector in Ireland. IWEA is committed to promoting the use of wind energy in Ireland and beyond as an economically viable and environmentally sound alternative to conventional generation and promotes awareness and understanding of wind power as the primary renewable energy resource. IWEA acts as a central point for information for over 200 members as well as a representative group to promote wind energy to key stakeholders.

The island of Ireland now has one of the highest rates of wind-energy production per capita in the world, relative to population size, but despite having one of the world’s greatest offshore wind resources, Ireland’s offshore wind industry is still in the early stages of development. Phase one of the Arklow Bank project (25MW) is currently Ireland’s only offshore wind farm.

To date, foreshore leases have been granted for the operation of the Arklow Bank project and the Codling Bank, both situated off of Ireland’s east coast. Three more offshore projects totaling 794MW were offered a grid connection in 2011 but with limited emphasis being placed on offshore wind by the Irish Government and no Irish offshore market support these projects have not been developed to date.

IWEA believes that there would be an increased impetus to develop these offshore sites with the implementation of an export led offshore support framework. The British Irish Council have signaled an intent to move forward a memorandum of understanding on renewable energy trading between the British and Irish governments which is welcomed by IWEA. IWEA believes that Ireland has the capability to develop an export led offshore industry in the coming years should such an agreement emerge.

22

The second interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain, launched in October 2012, is a key market mechanism that will play a role in driving Ireland’s export opportunity. The East West interconnector with a capacity of 500MW will provide an opportunity for Ireland to export excess renewable energy to the UK. IWEA is confident that there will be further connections built to link the Irish Grid to the UK National Grid and further into Europe.

The East West Interconnector brings multiple mutual benefits to both British and Irish economies. It will improve competition, increase our energy security for our growing populations, allow for system reserve sharing and provide for the opportunity to utilise Ireland’s abundance of both onshore and offshore wind within the larger UK customer base.

Encouragingly, earlier this month the Irish Maritime Development Office released a report outlining that at least seven Irish ports are well positioned to service the offshore marine renewables sector.

Given our significant wind resource, our geographical location, the possibilities of further interconnectors and the standard of our main ports, we are now in a position where our greatest asset can become our greatest export too. The future is bright for offshore wind development in Ireland.

Existing State and Trends of Offshore Wind Farms in Japan.

In October last year Japan had an offshore wind energy total installed capacity of 25.2MW. At the time of publication, late December 2012, further capacity of 16MW is currently under construction, making the Japanese total of installed capacity 41.2MW planned to be operational by March 2013.

Of these wind farm projects, one has been in operation since 2003 at Setana Port with two 1.2MW Vestas turbines, and another since 2004 at Sakata Port with ten 2MW Vestas turbines. A third wind farm is in operation at Kashima Port and went online in 2010 producing 14MW from seven 2MW Hitachi turbines.

The 41.2MW total will be reached when the second Kashima Port zone comes on line this year with eight more of the 2MW Hitachi turbines. In the future a third much larger zone is planned for 2017 at Kashima Port with fifty 5MW turbines producing an expected 250MW output, increasing the total capacity by a factor of 6.

All of these projects have been planned and built very close to the coast in harbour areas within a maximum of 700m from the shoreline. They are owned by mainly private companies. The 2017 project introduces the Wind Power Ltd. and the Marubeni Corporation to home waters as partner to Kashima Port, adding Japanese wind power to their offshore wind energy portfolio in Europe.

24

The Japanese Government has provided subsidies for further demonstration projects for fixed foundations.

These NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation) projects have been carried out off Kitakyushu on the South West coast, and off Chosi on the mid-Eastern coast of Japan’s island coasts. Here they are testing a hybrid gravity and jacket version and gravity type foundations in waters between 14m and 12m, 1.5km to 3km from the shoreline. The turbines used are a Japan Steel Works Ltd 2MW and a Mitsubishi 2.4MW, respectively.

Observational masts are being placed at the same time.

The Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) both have separate projects to test different floating foundations. Both ministries have support from different organisations, institutions and corporations to implement the test projects. The turbines to be fitted will range from two Hitachi turbines, a 0.1MW and a 2MW for the MOE offshore of Kabashima in the far South

West of the islands. The METI will have one Hitachi 2MW and 2 Mitsubishi 7MW turbines. Planned to be operational between 2013 and 2015, construction has already started on the MOE project.

The different floating foundations to be tested are a hybrid steel/concrete spar by the MOE and a spar and 2 semisubmersible configurations by the METI. As would be expected the tests for floating foundations are taking place further offshore. The MOE projects are 1km offshore while the METI projects are more distant at between 20km and 40km offshore.

These tests represent a strong commitment to offshore wind energy and the effort to overcome the narrow continental shelf of shallow water surrounding Japan.

KWEIA Korea Wind Energy Industry Association

Korean industry is involved in the offshore wind industry in many ways. Korean shipbuilders have built four installation vessels for the offshore wind industry to date, and another unit is currently under construction at the time of publication of this magazine. In the meantime Korean turbine manufacturing companies, STX and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, have built prototypes for 2MW and 3MW offshore wind turbines, respectively, which are currently located in the North East Sea off the island of Jeju and are reported to be operating well.

This indicates that Korea has not only joined the club of offshore wind turbine manufacturers but also the club of countries with offshore wind facilities which are connected to the power grid system.

Korea Electric Power Corporation has launched a Special Purpose Company to develop a 2.5GW offshore wind project in the Yellow sea, on the west side of the Korean peninsula near Gunsan district. The project will be built in several phases. The first phase will be a 100MW demonstration phase including test turbines in the 3 to 7MW class from several Korean manufacturers. The second phase will be for 400MW by 2016 and the third phase will see the construction of at least 1,500MW by 2019.

At the same time the local governments are also promoting 4GW of offshore wind development in Chunnam district, another 2GW near the island of Jeju, as well as several gigawatts in Kyungnam province.

Korean wind turbine manufacturers are at the moment developing multi megawatt offshore wind turbines in the 5.5MW and 7MW class. As part of this, Samsung will be installing a 7MW prototype turbine at a test facility in Glasgow, Scotland, in early 2013, with another turbine to be installed by 2014. In addition Samsung and Korea Southern Power Corporation will jointly be developing an offshore wind farm South West of Jeju island for which Samsung has signed an EPCIÂ contract which includes the provision of twelve 7MW units (84MW). This wind farm is planned to be completed by 2014.

Korean Companies have established track records in in the field of offshore oil and gas exploration for fabrication and EPC contracting in the field of offshore facilities. They are now recognised in the offshore wind market, and intend to be a driving engine in this industry in the future.

NWEA Netherlands Wind Energy Association

NWEA – Netherlands Wind Energy Association; www.nwea.nl - is the not for profit wind energy trade association in the Netherlands. As such, we initiate and support policy change to optimise wind energy deployment both onshore and offshore. Wind energy will play a leading role in powering the Netherlands in the future and we seek to maximise all the benefits of wind for the Netherlands as a whole.

NWEA is the voice of over 400 members ranging from international businesses to small independent companies in the wind industry, operators, suppliers, utilities, developers, research institutions and related industries & organisations.

We act as a united representative and a central point of information for our members.

Offshore wind: status and outlook for the Netherlands The Netherlands was one of the first countries in the world to complete offshore wind farms. Currently these two, Egmond aan Zee and Prinses Amaliawindpark, remain the only wind farms in operation off the Dutch coast, providing a total of 228MW. The next project to be completed will be Luchterduinen situated 23km off the coast near Noordwijk and Zandvoort.

This wind farm is projected to be in operation in 2015 generating 128MW from 43 turbines. Two projects north of the Netherlands with a total output of 600MW have secured government investment support and are expect to be built within two to three years.

28

The next new development is now being planned. It is the result of the offshore wind “Green Deal” between the Dutch government and the Netherlands Wind Energy Association.

The “Green Deal” is due to deliver a 40% reduction in the kWh cost of offshore wind electricity by 2020. This will be done by innovation in the technical, logistic and O&M, sectors of the industry and through improvements in government policies and procedures.

Currently the industry is compiling a plan for a test and demonstration site to put to the government for approval.

The Leeghwater site is named in honour of one of the Netherlands’ most famous water engineers from the Golden age, the 17th century. The 300MW site would have different slots where several clients could acquire the opportunity to test or demonstrate their innovations which will contribute to price reduction. The Top consortium for Knowledge and Innovation (TKI –WoZ), a strong government- industry multi-annual programme to advance excellent research

and development in the field of Offshore Wind Energy, is also partly responsible for the development of Leeghwater.

The NWEA and TKI-WoZ, the industry intend to present their full plan for Leeghwater for government approval by mid 2013.

In September 2012 the Netherlands elected a new government. Its manifesto included a target of 16% renewable energy in 2020, 2% higher than the agreed EU target for the Netherlands of 14%, and 1.5% higher than the target of the previous government.

The new government has set an ambitious milestone to be reached. It will require both a massive increase in both onshore and offshore wind development. Together a capacity of at least 12,000MW wind energy installed is needed in 2020.

For offshore, this requires new innovative policies, accelerated deployment and timely government decisions upon which the industry can commit to invest. NWEA discusses and assists the government to realise these ambitions, and first steps for the deployment of this necessary additional capacity should be started by early 2013.

RenewableUK

2012 was the year in which the UK further cemented its position as the world leader in offshore wind. We added over a 1GW in capacity at over 8 sites and ended the year with 2.67GW installed, more than the rest of the world put together. This included the opening of the three largest offshore wind farms in the world (Greater Gabbard 504MW, Sheringham Shoal 315MW and Walney 367.2MW) and rapid progress at the 630MW London Array, with the final turbine installed in December. RenewableUK also proudly held the first ever Global Offshore Wind conference with over 3500 delegates and offshore wind provided around 3% of the nation’s electricity.

But this is only the start. The UK’s unrivalled pipeline of projects should see 18GW of projects and around 20% of the UK’s electricity delivered by 2020 (Department of Energy and Climate Change). This pipeline includes the 7GW of projects that entered the planning system in 2012, including the first four Round 3 projects, as well as the 1GW consented at Race Bank and Dudgeon.

In the supply chain, 2012 saw Areva and Gamesa announce their intentions to invest in manufacturing facilities in Scotland, building on earlier announcements from Samsung and Mitsubishi to develop R+D facilities. A final investment decision on Siemens’ new factory in Hull is expected early in 2013.

In terms of finance, the long running refinance of Lincs was completed and the Green Investment Bank made its first investment in the refinancing of Walney. Costs were also very much at the fore, with two landmark reports (Cost Reduction Taskforce and the Crown Estate’s Cost Reduction Pathways project) both concluding that £100/ MWh by 2020 was challenging but achievable.

Looking forward and much of 2013 will be spent on ensuring that the Energy Bill and secondary legislation delivers a successful market support landscape post 2017.

The Bill was perhaps better than many had expected but much work remains, not least on determining the strike price generators will receive and how contracts will be allocated.

30

Throughout this RenewableUK has been actively involved, running the first ever Global Offshore Wind event, leading the industries response to the Energy Bill and ROC Consultation providing greater visibility of development timelines through the Project Timelines report, and writing with Government the Cost Reduction Taskforce report.

This is what makes us the leading renewable energy trade association in the UK and this work will continue in 2013.

To find out more please visit our website and RenewableUK’s 2013 Offshore Conference in Manchester on 12-13th June 2013 where over 3,000 delegates and 200 exhibitors will take part in the UK’s premier offshore wind event. I look forward to seeing you there.

a unique rotor support design that protects the drive train from deflection loads to ensure higher reliability.

As part of its R&D activities, Alstom has developed the Haliade™ 150-6MW, the first new generation offshore wind turbine.

Each Haliade 150 unit will be capable of supplying the equivalent of 5,000 homes with electricity. Characterised by its innovative technology, this direct-drive turbine is suitable for all sea conditions and will deliver offshore power at the best price. With its Haliade 150, Alstom is the exclusive supplier to the EDF EN-led consortium that

has successfully bid for three projects submitted for the sites at Saint-Nazaire, Courseulles-sur-Mer and Fécamp in France with a total of approximately 240 wind turbines.

An industrial plan has been finalised, that will lead to the creation of a national French industry that will set the standard in offshore wind power, with four factories being constructed in Saint-Nazaire and Cherbourg. These new resources will be complemented by an Alstom engineering and R&D centre dedicated to marine energies that will be the first and only set-up of its kind in France.

Winergy AG A pioneer in the offshore wind business

Winergy, one of the pioneers in the offshore business, introduced its first industrialised gearbox for wind turbines in 1981. Ten years later, in 1991, the first offshore wind farm in Vindeby, Denmark, was equipped with eleven 450kW Winergy gearboxes – an important step for the wind industry and the crucial move for Winergy to build up experiences in the offshore business. Focusing on offshore applications since then, in 2003, Winergy introduced the first 5MW offshore gearbox; in 2007, Winergy commissioned the world’s largest 14MW test bench; in 2010 Winergy introduced the 6.5MW Multi Duored and in 2011 Winergy rolled out the HybridDrive Concept. Today, more than 900 Winergy offshore gearboxes and couplings are in service, of which more than 100 gearboxes are in the 5/6MW class.

Innovation as a standard As the global market leader, Winergy offers its customised both standard as well as customised gearboxes in the power range between 600kW and 6.5MW, or even higher. Since Winergy built the first gearbox for wind turbines back in 1981, it has been continuously working on innovative concepts, which support its customers through cuttingedge technology.

Winergy set the industry standards, e.g. for helical planetary gear stages as well as for the super finishing of the gears. The fact that more than 70,000 gearboxes have been shipped to satisfied wind turbine customers around the world illustrates Winergy’s success.

Custom-made design Differentiation of wind turbines requires specific solutions for every component. A detailed wind turbine specification is the foundation of individual component development.

Winergy takes its long-term on- and offshore experience into account to develop cost-effective solutions that perfectly fulfill customer requirements.

The result: mechanical components which increase the efficiency for new and repowering projects for on- and offshore wind turbines.

CPNL Engineering GmbH Simple and clever cable protection that contributes to cost reductions What if a cable protection system would save you days on installation?

This question fits the much-discussed topic in offshore wind on cost reductions.

CPNL Engineering GmbH has engineered a flexible, simple and clever alternative that contributes to cost reductions in a mature way. It saves up to 3 hours per cable entry and more. With the articulated pipe alone, a regularly used solution in cable protection from early 1900s; it is possible to create solid lengths from 20 meters to kilometers long without any use of bolts and nuts.

CPNL Engineering GmbH Frohland 4 49733 Haren (Ems) Germany T +49 59 32 71 40 11 1 F +49 59 32 71 40 16 5 info@cpnl.eu www.cpnl.eu

“Days are dollars/euros” is a common line used in conversations on cost reductions. In that perspective CPNL’s cable protection system contributes in that it saves valuable time and can be adapted to any kind of cable project.

40

The system consists of: • strong articulated pipes; • an all-in-one centralizer (with clamp and seal); • compact hang-off (sealed); and • joint solutions The protectors are easy to (de- and re-) assemble, demand less deck space, require smaller vessels and fewer transport movements.

At the same time CPNL makes no compromises on quality, by offering ISO- and DNV-certified quality products produced in Germany.

CPNL produces with full control over engineering, production and quality management processes. Third party tests performed by official test centers indicate the massive strength and elongation of our products.

In the latest test performed in December 2012 for the 295MW North Sea Ost project, CPNL clarified the strength of articulated pipes to customer RWE Innogy GmbH with 361,7 kN, which even sets a new record for the cable protection market.

For all these reasons and more CPNL Engineering GmbH has proven to reduce installation time with at least 3 hours per cable entry, increase vessel capacity and increase the product lifetime of a cable effectively.

As an engineering firm CPNL differentiates itself with a personal, consistent and transparent approach.

CPNL provides effective solutions designed to facilitate cable installations and minimise the risks of cable damage/down time, be it in a repair job or a new cable installation.

MARIN is actively participating in the development of the offshore wind energy sector. It launched RENT (Renewable Energy Team), a MARINwide team of specialists covering all the aspects needed to make offshore renewable energy a success.

The RENT team is involved in the hydrodynamic design of fixed and floating offshore wind turbines and wind turbine installation vessels for which the challenges are very similar to those of the offshore industry: safe and economic design, production, transportation, installation, maintenance, repair and removal.

To further assist the market the following two Joint industry projects (JIP’s) have been started up to solve specific problems for the offshore wind industry.

WiFi JIP: The objective of WiFi JIP is to better understand the influence of steep and breaking waves on the foundation of offshore wind turbines and secondary structures like boat landing platforms.

The project aims at an improved methodology to take extreme waves and non-linear wave effects into account in the design of offshore wind turbine construction. The experimental

Wind Jack JIP: For jack-up wind turbine installation vessels the loads on the legs and the jacking system during touch-down and lift-off are considered as the most critical step of the installation process.

Wind Jack aims to understand and predict the interaction between jack-up legs and the seabed in order to better quantify the operational limits and to make an accurate prediction of the workability of wind turbine installation vessels. To determine the seabed reaction forces on the moving leg tips during touch-down and lift-off MARIN joins forces with the Dutch geotechnical research institute Deltares.

Both JIP’s are still open for participation. Especially offshore engineering companies, turbine manufacturers, operational contractors, wind farm developers, classification societies and (renewable) energy utility’s are welcome to join.

wpd offshore GmbH One of Europe’s leading offshore developers

wpd develops and operates wind farms both on- and offshore in 20 countries, from America to Asia. Since the company’s foundation in 1996, wpd has realised wind farms with a combined 1,400 turbines and output of 2.2GW. In addition to the offshore sector, which will be discussed in more detail below, wpd is currently planning further onshore projects with 7.5GW worldwide – primarily in Germany.

wpd is the leading wind project developer in our home market. We have 670 employees (as of the beginning of 2012) committed to bringing forward the national and international development of wind energy. For many years, wpd has received an A rating from the Euler Hermes Agency (Allianz Group). This external benchmark of credit-worthiness ensures a positive status quo and a very good future for the company.

Offshore experience With a pipeline of 10GW, wpd is also one of Europe’s leading offshore developers. In 2010, the first German commercial offshore wind farm, Baltic 1, was developed and installed by wpd.

The 48.3MW wind farm has been in operation since 2011. Currently, wpd is working on implementing the Butendiek project with a capacity of 288MW in the German North Sea. Already, seven further projects offering a combined total capacity of 2,800MW have been approved. These projects will be conducted in partnership with financially strong market players. wpd develops offshore projects in Germany, Sweden, Finland, France and Italy.

This important local network is built through our offices in Bremen, Rostock, Stockholm, Helsinki, Paris and Rome.

Achim Berge has been managing wpd offshore since 2001.

Offshore projects are, therefore, considered to be an important future market for wind power. The wind speeds at sea are both higher and more constant than on land. Additionally, more expansive areas can be developed and the distance from land minimises the visual impact of the turbines.

Meet the challenges On the other hand, the planning of wind farms offshore poses a great technical challenge. The wind turbines must be designed for use in the open sea and the foundations must be adapted to cope with the great depths and strong waves. Last but not least, a

long cable connection must also be laid at the bottom of the ocean. wpd is in a great position to meet these challenges, as a specialised team has been active in the development of offshore projects since 2000. wpd offshore GmbH maintains its subsidiaries in all areas of offshore wind power, from classic project development and management, procurements of turbines construction, through to the operation and service of multi-megawatt turbines.

A2SEA World Leader in Offshore Wind Installation and Service Solutions A2SEA offers integrated installation and service solutions for the offshore wind industry.

Since 2002, our specialised fleet of two semi-jacked vessels and two jack-ups has installed more than 750 turbines and 340 foundations for the world’s offshore wind market. Many of our techniques and processes are setting standards for best practice throughout Offshore Wind, providing solutions that can help bring down the cost per MW of clean energy.

An essential link in the offshore wind value chain Before foundations, wind turbines and cables are in place, an offshore wind project demands the planning skills, process know-how, and experience of qualified people who can guarantee the job gets done. Our project teams are adept at pulling together all the pieces of the installation puzzle to ensure that every project comes in safely, on time, and to budget - and we have a ten-year track record to prove it.

Planning down to the smallest detail Before mobilising a single crew member, we prepare all the necessary

approvals, plan the supply chain and carry out a seabed assessment to make sure it’s stable enough to bear the weight of our jack-ups in action.

Once a project is underway, our jack-ups can provide full-board accommodation for all offshore personnel involved in the installation, making coordination between the various contractors easy.

Optimising our processes from project to project We examine and document each of our processes in detail, always looking for ways to make improvements. From

project to project, these add up to gains in time and cost that we can pass on to our customers. Because we are so familiar with the seabed conditions, wind turbine components, and how long each operation takes, our risk management is both detailed and reliable.

The A2SEA offshore wind package A2SEA has the experience, know-how and equipment to ensure our customers get an installation package tailored to the specific needs of their offshore wind projects. Working closely with our key customers, we develop solutions that meet the demands of the market and,

ultimately, help bring down the cost of clean energy.

A2SEA has two new fit for purpose built vessels arriving to the market; SEA INSTALLER and NB002. SEA INSTALLER arrived in 2012 and will go straight onto the Anholt project in Denmark to install Siemens 3.6MW wind turbines.

NB002 is due for arrival in Q1 2014, the fundamental difference between NB002 and SEA INSTALLER is that NB002 has a larger crane on board with the ability to lift up to 900 tons in comparison to SEA INSTALLER’s 800 ton crane.

Recent projects 2012 was a hugely successful year for A2SEA with our fleet of vessels working on several projects including; London Array, Teesside, Sheringham Shoal, Anholt, Samsø, Nysted, Horns Rev 1, Horns Rev 2, Frederikshavn, Rødsand 2, Lillgrund, Kentish Flats, Gunfleet, Lynn / Inner Dowsing and Baltic 1.

In 2013 we expect just as much success with our fleet secured on some significant projects incuding; Gwynt y Mor, West of Duddon Sands and Anholt.

Headquartered in Fredericia, Denmark, A2SEA is never far from the action in northern Europe’s offshore wind industry. And, with additional offices in Germany and the UK, we are easy to contact - and always ready to listen to your business needs.

MPI Offshore Powering the Future

MPI Offshore is a world leader in offshore wind turbine installation. Over the past decade the organisation has been involved in numerous wind farm construction projects, including those on Thanet, Barrow, Robin Rigg, London Array, Lynn & Inner Dowsing and Lincs Offshore Windfarm. The company operates one of the world’s largest and most powerful fleet of Wind Turbine Installation Vessels. With more than 370 wind turbines already installed, MPI Offshore can transport and install wind turbines to exacting standards of safety, quality and precision. The commitment to detail and quality allows the company to continue breaking industry records such as finishing more than a month ahead of schedule, when the MPI Resolution completed the installation of 100 turbines in 100 days at the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm. application of their DP2 positioning systems and state of the art jacking equipment.

The experience gained from operating MPI Resolution in the offshore wind turbine installation market since 2003 has proved vital in implementing the enhancements made on the MPI Adventure and MPI Discovery.

The MPI Discovery will complete the WTG installation on London Array during December 2012, totaling 106 components collected from SWP Esbjerg transited to site and installed.

Delivered in 2003, the MPI Resolution was the world’s first purpose built vessel for installing offshore wind turbines, foundations and transition pieces. This vessel is a unique combination of tested technologies applied in innovative ways to provide a single vessel transport and installation solution for the offshore wind sector and has set the trend for every wind farm installation vessel since.

In the last 2 years the MPI Resolution has been joined by 2 sister vessels, the MPI Adventure and the MPI Discovery, their names continuing the link with the 18th century explorer Captain Cook. These 3 vessels have built a reputation to overcome the challenges presented by the offshore environment including limited operational weather windows and dependence on high numbers of infield logistical support vessels. Capable of operating in water depths ranging from six metres to more than forty metres, the trio can change their status from being a seagoing vessel to become a stable working platform achieved quickly and efficiently by the

Key new features on the 2 later vessels include a 1,000 tonnes capacity main crane, a 50 tonnes capacity auxiliary crane, accommodation capacity for 112 persons, a maximum operating depth of 40 metres (at 5.0m leg penetration and 7.8m air gap) and an ability to jack with 6,000 tonnes of cargo onboard.

These main cranes also provide the capacity (reach and radius) that is necessary to place a complete wind turbine generator to a hub height over 100 metres above sea level.

All 3 vessels have exceptional qualities such as their ability to operate in wind speeds up to 20 metres per second, well above the design parameters laid out in offshore turbine erection procedures.

With large cargo capacity, they are capable of carrying multiple WTG and foundation components, with the high performance main and ancillary cranes providing the lifting capacity, these vessels are among the best vessels currently installing offshore wind turbine components.

Based on proven technology in civil and offshore markets we have developed and supplied grout seals for many offshore wind farms.

There are two basic designs for grout seals: active and passive types.

The passive seal or self activating is a full rubber lip seal. When the pressure increases, the seal will compress more and improve the sealing properties.

The active seal is an inflatable one, which consists of a fabric reinforced tube provided with a base. The seal is mounted by steel strips which keep the foot in place. The seal is activated by compressed air, water or grout.

Short list of grout seal references for offshore wind farms : - Horns Rev 2 Baltic 1 - Belwind - Walney 1-Walney 2 - Gwynt Y Mor - Anholt - Riffgat - Teeside - Dan Tysk (construction phase) Next to the grout seals, we design and produce elastomeric shock pads for jack-ups used for installation of foundations and turbines. The installation vessels often are provided with jacking systems to lift or lower the deck or platform. The elastomeric shock pads are part of the jacking system and absorb loads during operation, the pads have relatively low compression

stiffness. In order to monitor the loads during jacking operations we have developed shock pads with integrated electronic load cells. In this line we also produce module support bearings , anti vibration mounts and deck support units.

83

All seal designs are subject to an extensive test program in a dedicated 1 : 1 test frame in order to qualify the design.

Liebherr Offshore Crane Technology

Since the beginning of offshore technology, Liebherr has been involved in the development of appropriate cranes for offshore applications and today is the technology leader in this segment. Offshore is one of the most innovative and technologically demanding industry segments. The constant increase in worldwide energy demands and the development of ever more demanding sea beds go hand-in-hand with the advancement of crane technology. These demands have led to considerable changes in the requirements and possibilities of our cranes. Besides being used on oil and gas platforms, Liebherr cranes are also used in other applications, including subsea work and installation of offshore wind turbines, for handling remote controlled underwater vehicles, or for installing pipelines and telecommunication cables offshore.

BOS 45000 The BOS 45000 is a conventional slew bearing type rope luffing crane.

This type of crane is available for lifting capacities of up to 1200 metric tonnes. The maximum boom length for this crane is 102 metres which is especially required for offshore wind park installation. The crane prime mover is either electric-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic. EX proof systems are available. The hydraulic system is of a closed type technology with individual circuits for each crane function. Rope luffing cranes are available with metallic or non-metallic slew bearings.

Maritime cranes for the wind power industry The Group offers convincing solutions for the construction of wind turbines at sea. Liebherr’s offshore heavy duty cranes feature lifting capacities of up to 3,000 tonnes.

All requirements can be catered for: diesel-powered or electric drive units, explosion-protected cranes and cranes for ambient temperatures between +40 °C and -50°C and special lowering depths down to 3,000m below sea level. The offshore heavy lift cranes are mounted on crane ships or jack-up platforms specially designed for these jobs.

CAL 64000-1500 The CAL 64000-1500 Litronic® achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,500t at a maximum working radius of 31.5m. It is designed as “Crane Around the Leg”, which means that the heavy lift crane is able to rotate 360° around one of the four jack-up legs of the vessel. The CAL 64000 is the first heavy lift offshore crane in the world to date to be built according to this design.

The main advantage of this design is that despite the crane’s enormous size it can be positioned in a spacesaving way and thus requires a relatively small obstruction area of only 12m.

MTC 78000 The MTC 78000 achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600t at up to 35m radius. This corresponds to a maximum dynamic moment of 78,000t, the crane still being able to slew over 360°. At a maximum radius of 74m for the main hoist the crane achieves a lifting capacity of 530t. The boom length of the crane currently delivered is 87m.

In addition to the main hoist, the MTC 78000 offers two auxiliary hoists with lifting capacities of up to 500t and 50t respectively.

Subsea Cranes The RL-K with knuckle boom and AHC (Active Heave Compensation) for subsea operations can lift up to 270t above the surface of the water and handle loads down to a depth of 3,400m.

Van Beest B.V. Green Pin® your reliable partner

Van Beest is a leading manufacturer and supplier for a complete program of high quality standard fittings for lifting chain and steel wire rope. Registered trade marks: Green Pin® for shackles and EXCEL® for chain accessories. Van Beest currently has branches in The Netherlands, Germany, France and USA, and stock holding distributors in more than 80 countries worldwide.

Made in Europe Green Pin shackles and Excel chain components are made in our own factories. In Sliedrecht, the Netherlands, we have a very modern upset forging facility where Green Pin shackles are manufactured. In Celles sur Durolle near Clermont-Ferrand in France our second forge is located. Here we manufacture Excel hooks and chain components in grade 8 and 10 and in stainless steel.

The fact that both brands are high quality products manufactured in Europe which comply with a wide range of internationally recognised standards have made them very valuable to traditionally high-risk sectors like mining and oil and gas production. Over the last couple of years the renewable energy sector has also become more and more interested in our high quality lifting products.

Transportation The use of Van Beest products starts already with the transportation of windmill parts. The parts have to be carried from various factories to the final location where the windmill is assembled. Whether by truck or vessel, our Green Pin turnbuckles and Green Pin shackles are often used to lash the load securely to the deck or floor, thus making sure the parts reach their destination safely.

the windmill parts. Again, Green Pin shackles are used to lift the parts into place, often in combination with an Excel rotating hoist ring so that the parts can be manoeuvred easily.

Maintenance Once the windmill is properly installed and has started to generate energy, at some point it will become necessary to carry out maintenance works. To make the maintenance people’s lives easier, Van Beest can offer a line of Super Green Pin shackles and grade 10 chain components. These products are much lighter than conventional products with the same working load limit,

which makes it a lot easier to bring the equipment to the rotor part of the windmill.

Tidal Transit Ltd Offshore Logistics and Vessel Operator

Tidal Transit, operating out of Docking in North Norfolk, has risen to the challenge of one of East Anglia’s rapidly expanding industry sectors - offshore wind energy. The construction and maintenance of an increasing number of offshore wind farms along the east coast of the UK is offering exciting business opportunities for services providers with ambition and vision that are willing to respond to the challenge. Adam Wright and Leo Hambro, took up the gauntlet, raising the capital finance to fund the purchase of two state-of-the-art, purpose-designed support vessels to transport construction workers and maintenance crew out into the North Sea. 2013 will see further additions to the fleet. ‘Ginny Louise’ arrived in North Norfolk from its Spanish boat builder (Mercurio Plastics) in December 2011, with ‘Eden Rose’ following shortly after in April 2012.

98

The vessels’ specifications greatly exceed the current fleet being used for the same purpose in the UK. The MCA Cat 1 coding and 10,000 litre fuel tanks give them a range of up to 150 miles offshore, well within the range of the UK’s forthcoming Round 3 wind farms.

Each provides four crew members and twelve passengers with comfortable beds, galley, bathroom, internet and entertainment facilities, enabling wind farm engineers to live and work on-site for several days at a time.

Both Ginny Louise and Eden Rose’s rugged GRP construction allows them to operate in rough seas, a major advantage when working in

the North Sea. They are also fitted with twin V12 MAN engines that allow them to achieve 27 knots when carrying twelve passengers plus crew, and up to 6 tonnes of on-board cargo.

Massive cargo decks fore and aft can accommodate up to 10,000kg of tools, equipment and spares, and the Guerra crane on the fore deck with a lifting capacity of 1,025kg at 6.9m caters for long reach loading and unloading. The vessels are also equipped with a moon pool for camera surveys and grab sampling.

With these acquisitions, Tidal Transit evolved from an established business offering day charter fishing trips to

a major provider of transport to the offshore wind industry. Tidal Transit’s ultimate aim is continued expansion to claim its place as a premier supplier to this burgeoning industry. Tidal Transit’s third vessel, the ‘Tia Elizabeth’ is expected to reach these shores in March 2013.

Since their arrival in the UK, both Tidal Transit vessels have been in continuous use at the Greater Gabbard and Sheringham Shoal wind farms. It is a testament to their rugged reliability that they will remain on charter over the winter months.

Deep can provide specialist surveys for object detection. This is rapidly becoming an important sector for offshore wind farm planning.

Submerged obstacles can cause tens of thousands of Euro’s damage to trenching equipment and ploughs.

Even more important, for the safety of the operators of subsea operations, is the detection of ammunitions, bombs and mines from two world wars, which are still lying, uncharted, in the North Sea, for example.

For many years North Sea fishermen have trawled up flint spear heads and other items dating from the time when

the North Sea was dry land. Deep, by using their sensitive equipment for scanning for archaeology from pre-history times, can locate and map these sites to avoid loosing forever this insight into how our ancestors lived.

They have also been working at various stages on the following wind farm projects:

If it lies under or on the sea bed, in shallow coastal waters or deep sea, Deep can locate it, map it, and guide you around it, saving you both time and money in your sub sea operations.

What is Rope access?

Rope access is the term behind the application of industrial climbing techniques. The technique comes from England, where it has been used already for more than16 years.

Due to the application in the petrochemical industry and the development of high-tech climbing materials, the education and systems behind rope access are sophisticated.

Rope access may be used in many places. In a safe way cost-saving is the key word, with in particular the reduction of assembly and disassembly time in projects.

Zeeland Seaports Offshore energy spearhead for Zeeland Seaports

The North Sea is an ideal location for the generation of wind energy. The wind is favourable and thanks to the shallow water depth it is relatively easy to build large wind farms here.

Not surprisingly, quite a few offshore wind projects are planned; projects that require a lot of materials that need to be shipped in by sea. ‘The port of Vlissingen as part of Zeeland Seaports, is an ideal home base for delivery’, Peter Geertse, commercial manager of Zeeland Seaports, said. ‘And not just for wind-energy projects, but also for oil and gas production activities.’

Zeeland Seaports Schelpenpad 2 Harbour no 1151 P.O.Box 132 4530 AC Terneuzen The Netherlands T +31 11 56 47 40 0 F +31 11 56 47 50 0 info@zeelandseaports.com

www.zeelandseaports.com

‘Our location is one of our strong points. The ports are close to the North Sea and are favourably located in relation to the Netherlands, Belgium, the north of France, the United Kingdom and even Germany and Denmark. In the waters offshore of these countries, major wind farms will be developed over the coming years. In addition, our ports are easily accessible. Large installation vessels can navigate freely, unencumbered by locks or bridges.’ This is important because what is true anywhere, is true for this branch especially: time is money. For the transport of heavy loads, special ships are needed, which can only carry

limited amounts of cargo each time.

Therefore, speedy handling is of the utmost importance.

Space and facilities Peter Geertse: ‘Space is another advantage of the Vlissingen location.

Many wind generator parts are manufactured in the hinterland, for example in Limburg. These companies often look to us specifically for the temporary storage of items including monopiles and transition pieces.

Companies such as BOW Terminals and Verbrugge Terminals are offering the space and facilities needed for efficient transhipment to the wind farm

projects. This is not all that these ports have to offer. Hoondert and VDS, for example, are specialised in large steel construction work; Heerema builds jackets and transformer topsides, Mammoet is a heavy lift and transport specialist, and Multraship provide towage and lifting services. These companies are only a small example of what is on offer, there are many other companies providing vital services.

In short, we have everything needed to facilitate the building of offshore energy projects. The first projects have already proven that Vlissingen is a successful home base for the offshore wind industry.’

the Zeeland Offshore Wind Project.

The port authority is working with Delta NV as energy supplier, Heerema as the builder of offshore constructions in Zeeland, Verbrugge Terminals will provide logistic expertise, and Zeeuwind and the initiator, ZMF, Zeeland Environmental Federation, to get the support of the population of Zeeland.

It is an image that Zeeland Seaports wants to maintain and reinforce. ‘It is a branch with a future. Today, the wind farms are being built. This will involve many shipping movements and extra jobs – specifically in in construction and assembly work in the future. These wind farms will all need O&M bases.

Again, this will involve more jobs in construction and logistics.’

Zeeland Offshore Wind Project Zeeland Seaports is not just an observer concerning offshore wind farms. Together with five partners from Zeeland, the port authority is developing a plan for the realisation of an offshore wind farm along the coast:

Tekst by PvH Mediaproducties

121

The port authority has joined forces with trade & industry to promote the opportunities presented by VlissingenOost. ‘This year, in association with companies such as Verbrugge Terminals, VDS, Multraship, Hoondert

Staalbouw, BOW Terminals, Heerema and Mammoet, we will participate in several offshore exhibitions throughout Europe. These are companies that are really dedicated to their role in offshore projects. This will promote the advantages on offer from the port of Zeeland and all the companies involved in these offshore projects.

A plan of approach has already been decided upon. The agency Renewable Factory was asked to draw up a financial plan and investment model, an analysis of the foundations available, and a development plan. In the meantime, the six partners are working hard on promoting their ideas. The coming year will be crucial for showing whether the project is viable.

Services Provider for the Offshore Industry

The services that the terminal operator Cuxport offers its customers are as varied as the demands of the wind power sector. Located at the mouth of the river Elbe, where the water is deep enough for sea-going vessels, the port logistics company has gained a reputation as an efficient partner for wind farm operators, energy supply companies and foundation manufacturers. The German port of Cuxhaven epitomises the combination of a production site and an installation and service and maintenance port for the offshore business as few other logistics centres on the North Sea coast are able to do. Various skills required to set up and expand or maintain wind farms out at sea and generate clean energy are available at the offshore base port in the German state of Lower Saxony.

Many customers are already using the services at Cuxport – in particular the terminal’s ability to handle very heavy loads and the extremely strong RoRo ramps at the deep-water berths.

Able to handle heavy loads As wind turbines are continually becoming larger, Cuxport has to move enormous weights if tower sections or foundation structures are to be transported. The company not only has a roadway capable of handling heavy loads, which runs from the manufacturers’ production sites to Cuxport, but also a heavy-duty platform for transhipment purposes.

It can cope with up to 90 tonnes per square metre and measures 1,500 square metres.

Flexible Cuxport can point to many years of experience in the project business –

not least based on its original design as a heavy goods terminal. The port logistics provider offers the necessary flexibility and the relevant transhipment equipment both for services in the installation field and when providing supplies for production processes.

The trend towards larger wind turbines and the use of modern installation vessels from the edge of the quay have not only triggered a reassessment of whether to complete assembly processes out at sea or on dry land, but also induced manufacturers of tower sections or foundational structures, which used to mainly produce their goods at hinterland destinations, to

CUXPORT – CLOSE TO THE WIND operate their factories very close to the sea.

Cuxport is repeatedly able to introduce its existing logistics expertise in projects, which accompany the offshore wind power industry in all its varied facets. For example, Cuxport organises the transportation and storage of grout in big bags. This cement-like filling material is used for turbines at offshore wind farms to secure transition pieces and monopiles.

Forward-looking Proximity to the wind farm projects, which have already been completed and are being planned in the German Bight and the surrounding area, make Cuxhaven generally suitable to play a role in the service and maintenance

Terminal, which belongs to Cuxport GmbH. Offshore Marine Management GmbH (OMM) is planning to handle the maintenance work on wind turbines from a site measuring more than one hectare and also makes use of the freight forwarding and transhipment services available at Cuxport. They are also being used by OMM for its route clearance work, where the seabed is prepared for the laying of maritime cables.

Equipped for heavy duties upto approx 480 Tons

Planning approval for a berth adjacent to the heavy-duty platform was completed this year. This will provide another 180 metres of quay space at Cuxport, hopefully from 2014 onwards, and will be able to store loads weighing up to 20 tonnes per square metre. Once it has been completed,

business – and Cuxport in particular, with its capacity to handle special tasks.

In the course of the establishment and expansion of offshore wind parks, safeguarding the operations of the wind turbines, which have been installed out at sea and are subject to extreme weather conditions, will increasingly become the focus of attention during the next few years.

The advantage of being very close to the wind farms and access to the North Sea without any locks or reliance on tides were enough to persuade one provider of independent solutions for the offshore wind power industry; it has set up its business at the Steubenhöft

the terminal operator will be able to offer its customers in the offshore sector another 85,000 square metres of business space. The construction of additional capacity will be one of the most important tasks at Cuxport in the near future, so that the company can meet the growing challenges of the offshore business successfully in future too.

Modern equipment The diversity of our equipment becomes really valuable when it is used smartly.

Our fleet varies in size and tonnage and offers just-in-time shipments for almost any type of project cargo. Heavy transports - vertically by any of our mobile or crawler cranes, horizontally by our self-propelled or conventional trailers - often require millimetre work; even when this involves wind turbine components that weigh many tonnes.

Emerging Eemshaven Our logistic hub in Eemshaven, located near many offshore wind farm development areas, offers opportunities to the wind power industry. Our quay, with large storage areas, is perfectly suited to loading, unloading and transshipment of wind turbine components. Our facilities are fully equipped for pre-assembly of the components, which will be supplied offshore with our own barges and tugs.

Our attitude enables us to take care of any transport challenge in accordance with the GL Noble Denton guidelines, when required.

In addition we provide services and yard facilities for repair and maintenance of wind turbine components - always safe, efficient and

reliable. Our passion to realise virtually inconceivable projects on a daily basis is always expressed in small gestures and major projects.

Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH Germany’s leading wind energy cluster The Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH represents a network of nine seaports located at the German North Sea coast with numerous port handling service companies, supra-regionally operating logistics networks and specialists for all kinds of port services. Together the port locations on the rivers Elbe, Weser, Jade and Ems form one of the most significant German cargo hubs. The network of Seaports of Niedersachsen includes the ports of Brake, Cuxhaven, Emden, Leer, Nordenham, Oldenburg, Papenburg, Stade and Wilhelmshaven.

For more than 10 years several of these ports are specialising in the field of wind energy handling and storage and meanwhile have developed to be the leading experts for logistics of wind energy plants and components.

The manufacturers of wind turbines develop highly complex and valuable products for the energy supply of the future. When it comes to logistical challenges they rely on the high flexibility and quality of the services which are provided by the nine Niedersachsen seaports.

Moreover, individual port operating companies have established themselves as holistic logistics service providers with special services for the wind power branch. Besides handling and warehousing this includes spare parts logistics, supplier management, goods receipt processing, order picking and packing, as well as supply chain management and transport control.

The seaports of Niedersachsen provide strategic hubs for the installation and subsequent maintenance and supply of the offshore wind power farms in the North Sea via helicopter as well as vessel services. Several manufacturers of offshore components already decided to settle in one of the seaport locations in Niedersachsen. The production of the offshore components in close proximity to the ports ensures short transport routes by land thus creating a potential to save both costs and time. In the Niedersachsen seaports there are still extensive potential areas available for companies and suppliers of the onshore and offshore branch to settle.

125

Experienced staff, high-capacity transshipment facilities and specially fortified areas (e.g. heavy-load facilities for components with piece weights up to 1,000 tons) for the transshipment of wind turbines and other project loads characterise the port locations in Niedersachsen.

Outstanding connections by rail, road and inland waterway guarantee optimum conditions for production, efficient handling, warehousing, mounting and installation of wind energy components.

Port of Sassnitz Offshore base port for the Baltic Sea The starting position could hardly be better: Port of Sassnitz is a deep-water facility in north-east Germany and it provides ideal conditions to serve as a base port for the offshore wind industry both in nautical and geographical terms. All common offshore vessels can call at the port, which has a draught of up to 10.5m. There are no restrictions on access caused by tides, locks or bridges. Within a radius of 30nm there are already 16 offshore wind farm projects in different development stages. The short distances between the port and the wind farms provide clear cost benefits for operators and suppliers – just as the easy acces to the port with no need for pilot or tug services.

126

The port offers ideal conditions – plenty of space for companies to set up in business – and berths where both freighters and specialised vessels for the offshore wind power industry can dock. “Offshore components cannot be delivered by road because of their size. The units must either arrive at the quayside or be produced at the port site,” Harm Sievers, Managing Director of Fährhafen Sassnitz GmbH, explains.

A new terminal tailored to meet the special needs of offshore wind power projects is currently being built on a plot of land measuring 100,000 square metres in the southern part of

the port. Large components for wind turbines can be stored, pre-assembled, transhipped and transported at the quay, which has a total length of 410. These components include, for example, rotor blades that are 60m long or towers weighing 250 tonnes. The area will initially be used for setting up the EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind park from 2014 onwards. Other follow-up projects are in the pipeline.

Crew transfer vessels, tugs and supply ships will be able to use berth 1 in future; this is located very close to the “Offshore Terminal Sued”. Berth 1 is an important addition to the southern offshore terminal, which will primarily handle large offshore vessels. The planning work for building the berth has largely been completed.

Other areas, which can be used to install offshore wind farms, will be created in the medium to long term in the northern section of the port, on a site measuring up to 15 hectares.

Utility connections will be provided

for the industrial park “Hafen Sued” in the very near future. This area, which is close to the quay, provides ideal conditions for companies that offer operating, maintenance and repair services for offshore wind farms. Thanks to the funding framework, which has been created and maintained by the state government in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it is possible to purchase or lease areas at attractive conditions. More than 60 hectares are available for industrial and commercial use at the Sassnitz-Mukran site.

But that is not the last word in converting the ferry port into an offshore centre: a new multi-purpose offshore building, measuring approx.

3,400 square metres, is already being constructed and should be available for maintenance and repair work from the end of 2014 onwards. Until that time, the building will be used to produce offshore rotor blade prototypes, which measure 80m from the tip of the blade to their root.

Damen Offshore Wind The best tools at sea The global offshore wind industry has set a number of ambitious targets. In order to help realise those targets, Damen has developed a number of innovative and cost-reducing solutions. Damen Offshore Wind Vessels aim to support both energy companies and offshore contractors at every stage of an offshore wind farm’s lifecycle: development, installation, operations and maintenance. With the trend for wind farms to be positioned further offshore, Damen has developed vessels that can safely and efficiently transfer crews in significant wave heights of up to 2.5m.

‘There is no single way to build and operate an offshore wind farm’ The Damen Shipyards Group is looking closely to all aspects of the offshore processes of a wind farm, from development and installation to operation and the kind of solutions the company could bring to the market. We have already learned that there is no single way to build and operate an offshore wind farm. Indeed the challenges of scale, water depth and distance from shore are such that the optimal solutions are still being developed.

Vessel types Our first steps into the offshore wind market are marked by the FCS

2610. But clearly this is not the only vessel type you would see in the various phases of offshore wind farm development. Typical other vessels are: survey vessels, foundation installation vessels, cable laying vessels, diving support vessels, turbine installation vessels, anchor handlers, workboats, accommodation barges, etc.

Remarkably, quite a few of these types have already been built by Damen Shipyards or are presently under construction.

Market trends We recognise several interesting market developments and trends. Utility companies are starting to become ship

owners and sometimes operators as well. This is mainly driven by the desire to prevent any logistics bottlenecks by being able to use their own installation vessels.

There is also a tendency of using a free floating vessel (DP2) for foundation installation instead of a jack-up vessel.

Jumbo Offshore has been the pioneer in doing so with its Damen-built DP2 Heavy Lift Vessels. Especially the last trend is focussed on driving down cost and improving efficiency. Various governments have put targets to the industry of reducing cost by 40% before the end of this decade. Those challenges are even more difficult when combined

with the tendency that wind farms are being planned and built further and further offshore. This will certainly not drive down the cost.

Despite all this, the offshore wind market will be booming. In Europe before the end of 2020 there will be 40GW operational. We still have 36GW of that total amount to go. The USA is planning to realise 54GW by 2030, China is planning for 30GW in 2020 and Korea 23GW by 2030. All in all, there are many opportunities and Damen, already present with a number of proven vessels designs, is evolving towards a complete Damen Offshore Wind product range.

Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC) Our purpose is to contribute to the success of our customers through the effective use and reliability of

requests, competitive pricing and high resale value, short delivery times (we can deliver from stock), vessels, interchangeability of vessels, spares and equipment, reliable performance (due to years of improving on standardised designs and our modular construction approach) and low maintenance costs.

Research Institutes All Damen vessels benefit from thorough R&D. We work alongside world-renowned research institutes, such as Delft University of Technology, Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) and the Netherlands Organisation of Applied Scientific Research (TNO).

Our product and R&D teams are continuously making our ships faster, quieter and more cost efficient. Years

our workboats and vessels. The DTC concept enables you to build your Damen Offshore Wind Vessel locally, anywhere in the world. We provide you with all, prefabricated ship components and can, on request, combine this with expert assistance, training and backup, generating a vast transfer of shipbuilding technology.

MarineCo Shamal

Damen has built over 5,000 vessels worldwide, from central Africa to the smallest island in the Pacific. Up to 150 vessels are delivered annually at one of our 35 owned shipyards or at numerous partner yards. All our yards have Dutch management to uphold the same strict quality norms. In addition, building near the delivery destination leads to significant cost savings and a rapid customer response time.

Even though we are a major international group, we are still a family-owned company with a deep respect for our maritime heritage. We always take a long-term view. We continue to build up our knowledge base to ensure a steady pace of useful technological developments.

Continuity in the relationship with both our customers and our suppliers is of basic importance to us. That´s why a Damen representative is never far away.

Our sales managers travel all year round between their clients and Damen’s headquarters in the Netherlands. This facilitates optimum contact between customers, sales and product specialists. Throughout the Damen workforce, you´ll find the dedication to build vessels for and to be of service to our clients to the best of our ability.

During a severe gale in September 2011 the ‘MarineCo Shamal’, a Damen FCS 2610 (High Speed Support Vessel), left a UK port for a maintenance job at an offshore wind farm while other support vessels had to stay in.

This was the proof of the pudding for this Damen Twin Axe catamaran design, incidentally saving a lot of money.

147

This is made even easier because of Damen’s focus on standardisation, one of our fundamental corporate values. We build a wide variety of standard vessels on our own account and keep them in stock. All designs are worked out to the smallest detail. This results in fast response to customer

of research have also led to some truly pioneering designs such as the Enlarged Ship Concept, the Sea Axe and recently the Damen E3 concept, which focuses on environmentally friendly vessels.

GustoMSC B.V. Always a step ahead in Wind Turbine Installation & Maintenance Vessels GustoMSC is a leading design and engineering company for all types of mobile offshore units: jack-ups, semi-submersibles and offshore crane vessels. Our business approach is to deliver proprietary designs under license and associated equipment like jacking systems, skidding systems and offshore cranes to the market. All GustoMSC jack-ups are a safe and stable platform to work from. Since the first units delivered in 1964, GustoMSC has constantly been improving the designs and adding patented technologies. The latest NG series introduces the self-propelled DP vessels with the patented continuous hydraulic jacking system and the innovative cranes around the leg.

148

The list of GustoMSC designed jack-ups related to offshore wind is impressive; Wind, Wind Lift 1, Buzzard, IB-909, Sea Worker, Seafox 7, JB114, JB-115, JB-117, MPI Adventure, MPI Discovery, Goliath, Neptune, Vagant, Brave Tern, Bold Tern, Sea Installer, Seajacks Zaratan, Kraken and Leviathan.

Wind Installation With the emerging offshore wind parks, the market is looking into stable, fast and safe platforms. Therefore the selfpropelled and Dynamically Positioned units are most suitable for both the offshore Oil & Gas and wind turbine installation. Our involvement in the

offshore wind industry started in 2003 with the delivery of the jack-up MPI Resolution. Seajacks invested in two jack-ups of our NG-2500X design, for the Oil & Gas industry. These units have been successfully operating in the North Sea on offshore wind projects.

In 2008 MPI ordered two GustoMSC NG-7500/6 units with 1,000t cranes and their double acting hydraulic jacking system. The MPI Adventure and MPI Discovery were at that moment the largest units under construction. The non-propelled SEA series has also made a successful entrance in the offshore wind installation market. These units include the JB-114, Goliath, Sea Worker (SEA-2000) and JB-117 (SEA-3250) which have earned a place in this market and are successfully utilised on various projects.

Continuous hydraulic jacking system Further developments are the patented continuous hydraulic jacking system. This system has made a vast improvement in smoother and faster jacking operations. The jacks are working in pairs and each leg is operated independently. A further five of these systems were delivered for the

Crane around the leg The earlier designs of the SEA-2000 and NG-2500X had limited crane capacity (approx. 300t). Turbine and foundations are getting larger causing a design challenge which has now been overcome. The 800t or 900t offshore leg cranes have been designed to fit on the jack-houses of our units. The major advantage is that additional net deck space is created and that one leg obstacle has been eliminated. In 1968 GustoMSC designed and built the Cowrie One the first jack-up with the crane wrapped around the leg. All these developments are integrated into the latest designs of the NG and SEA series.

The latest NG-9000C ordered by A2SEA will have a 900t crane in combination with an even longer boom, creating a 120m hook height above main deck.

The market acknowledges the advantages brought about by these introductions and all major installation contractors are using GustoMSC designs and associated equipment.

From the Svanen, Oleg Strashnov (HLV5000), Seajacks Zaratan (NG5500C) and SEA-2000’s to the “good old” Buzzard (in operation since 1982) - all GustoMSC designs. The latest generation jack-ups, Brave Tern, Bold Tern and Sea Installer (NG-9000C) will soon be operational and will make a difference in future offshore wind market projects.

Chevalier Floatels BV More than just ‘floating accommodations’

Chevalier Floatels is a young energetic company with 10 years of experience in the floatel industry. Their expertise is in developing new concepts for floating accommodations.

Chevalier Floatels have (developed) a wide range of floatels. From five star floating hotels and worker accommodation barges up to floating prisons for governments. Chevalier Floatels believe in focussing on doing what they do best: developing and managing floating accommodation facilities. All other expertises are outsourced. This means vessel management, catering and maintenance are all sourced from reputable companies, ensuring that Chevalier Floatels remains focussed only at their core business: ‘satisfaction of the customers’.

Chevalier Floatels BV Doddendael Estate Kootwijkerdijk 2 3774 JT Kootwijkerbroek The Netherlands T +31 34 24 41 40 4 M +31 62 25 35 40 6 www.cfbv.com info@cfbv.com

The Chevalier Floatels’ Philosophy In response to the growing European market for wind energy, Chevalier Floatels developed a new design concept for staff accommodation and transport to offshore energy installations. Chevalier Floatels’ ethos is that their vessels are more than just ‘floating accommodations’. The wellbeing and comfort of the staff on board is paramount. However, there is also much focus on reducing operating costs (including fuel), environmental aspects and reliability.

85 to 90% operability The hull design, in combination with various techniques on board, provides the vessels with very pleasant sea keeping characteristics with less downtime as a result. The high quality finish of the accommodation gives people the illusion that they are on board of a luxury yacht.

An Ampelmann personnel transfer platform/walkway, that actively

compensates all vessel motions, is fitted on bridge deck. As a result of its optimised placement, entrance platforms or working decks can be accessed straight from the vessel. No more dangerous transfers are necessary.

Even with wave heights of 3 meters (significant), work can continue, resulting in 85 to 90% efficiency.

Customer benefits Lean management, combined with innovative design and building techniques, is characteristic for Chevalier Floatels and inherent to all projects. Projects and vessels are managed in such a way to help the customers meet their (tight) schedules.

149

For this purpose, Chevalier Floatels recently added two more ships to their fleet, which are converted and

upgraded according to this philosophy.

The vessels, named DP Gezina and DP Galyna, have Lloyd’s class approval, operate as a DP2 Service Support Vessel and are built according to the SPS Code.

Abeking & Rasmussen Schiffs - und Yachtwerft Aktiengesellschaft

Founded in the year 1907, Abeking & Rasmussen (A&R) has been developed continuously into a modern, diversified shipyard. Starting as a wooden boat builder, the company, which remains family owned soon added other segments of the maritime market, such as design and construction of special crafts. In the course of decades it developed into a highly modern, independent of weather, compact shipyard with sheds made for ships of over 90m length which can be launched or lifted onshore for repair via synchrolift. More than 6,400 ships and yachts have been delivered. Today the company, whose main focus still lies on ship- and yacht building, delivers to a critical and sophisticated clientele all over the world.

The most important task will be to get the service team on the wind turbine before any work can start. This must be done in a safe, economic and reliable way.

The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew Transfer Vessel will allow access to offshore wind turbines in the North Sea up to a significant wave height of approx. 2.0 to 2.5m.

An der Faehre 2 27809 Lemwerder

The concept of the Windpark Tender allows easy adaptation to various tasks in offshore wind farms. The main role is transfer of service personnel; for this task the vessel offers a spacious mess room. Storage facilities are available for consumables and spare parts.

Germany T +49 42 16 73 30 F +49 42 16 73 31 12 info@abeking.com www.abeking.com Contact: Nils Olschner

150

The shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen has developed a unique ship design which offers extraordinary seaworthiness and low sea response motions in the same range as at least three times larger vessels – the Crew Transfer Vessel in SWATH@A&R® technology.

This design has been developed out of the well proven vessels for the new pilot transfer system in the German Bight and adapted to the needs of the offshore wind energy industry.

The first of class was delivered to the German company BARD Engineering in 2010 and increased the accessibility of wind energy plants and offers safe

transfer of service personnel both, during sailing and while stepping over to the plant.

The 25m SWATH@A&R® Crew Transfer Vessel is meant to be the final link in the logistic chain of maintenance between shore and the offshore wind turbines. With a high probability there will always be a wind turbine due for maintenance or repair. The weather situation in the North Sea is not very reliable, even in summer it is not uncommon to have longer periods with strong winds and high waves limiting operation of small and fast vessels.

In the front of the vessel is the cargo area. Toolboxes and spare parts can be stored. The service team will have about the same tools and spare parts at hand as onshore in their service van.

It is also possible to store pumps and tanks for oil changes of the wind turbine’s gearbox. The tender can even be equipped for diving operations or for operating ROVs for survey of proper burying of power and data cables.

The capacity of the Windpark Tender even allows to transport larger components of up to 8 tons from shore to offshore. This versatility offers great flexibility to the operator.

MSIS Chantiers ALLAIS

Since 1987, the Chantiers Allais shipyard has built over 200 crew boats in the 13 to 28 metres length range for offshore oil sector clients.

Now the offshore wind industry is demanding vessels designed for the movement of construction and service engineers to, from and within the wind farms. With the prospect of this increase in offshore wind farm projects, we have decided to develop a range of ships dedicated to the maintenance of marine wind turbines.
