Offshore vessels primarily serve the offshore oil and gas sector and are also engaged in offshore construction projects like offshore wind farms. Different types of offshore vessels handle specific tasks such as transporting supplies to oil platforms, undertaking drilling etc. Crew members of off...
What Is an Offshore Wind Farm?-Chapter OneKurt E. Thomsen
The shuttered projects are far from the only setback for offshore wind in the US today—over 12 gigawatts’ worth of contracts were either canceled or targeted for renegotiation in 2023, according to analysis by BloombergNEF, an energy research group. Part of the problem lies in how projects ...
Scientists say there is no evidence that offshore wind projects kill whales. Other offshore wind farms around the world have had minimal impact on marine mammals, although they are not directly analogous to the Pacific Ocean’s deep floating platforms. R...
In 1991, Denmark initiated the first offshore wind project, and since then, commercial-scale facilities have been operating in shallow waters around the world, particularly in Europe as well as future projects that are expected to take place in the United States. Wind energy, which has been ut...
Where onshore and offshore wind turbines differ is in their position, size, scale and how the electricity they generate is transferred. Find out about the roles that offshore and onshore wind energy play in the transition to a carbon-free electricity sys
expensive. It’s not too far-fetched to think that in some states transportation infrastructure for offshore wind might need its own dedicated funding. Timing is critical, too. New York’s OSW schedule, for example, is aggressive. Port projects need funding sooner, really, right now, not ...
Unfounded claims about offshore wind threatening whales have surfaced as a flashpoint in the fight over the future of renewable energy.
Since last year, a series of technological breakthroughs have emerged in China, including the commercial maiden flight of the domestic large aircraft C919, the undocking of the first domestic large cruise ship, the completion of the lifting of the world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine...
