OffshOre #2 | The Magazine 2 Next generation vessels: Loading, Transporting and Installing offshore—all in one State of the art technology: the joint venture partners HOCHTIEF Construction and project and heavy lift cargo carrier Beluga Shipping are developing a new type of vessel enabling installation and maintenance of offshore facilities with overall heights of more than 120 meters in water depths of up to 50 meters. Power and mobility: 8,000 tons loading capacity, 1,700 tons crane capacity, 12 knots service speed— these special lifting vessels can be operated flexibly and around the clock on every single day of the year. The offshore market is booming, whereas capacities and adequate tonnage are short at the moment. But we have the answer: the first allround vessel of the next generation will be launched in 2012. www.beluga-hochtief-offshore.com
Foreword by Jan Rispens You don’t have to be particularly bold to claim that the offshore wind energy industry will come through the international banking and financial crisis relatively unscathed. European projects have reached a volume which is expanding under its own momentum and this will not be stopped by a temporary lull. Admittedly, projects that depend on banks for their financing have encountered difficulties. This has changed the face of the industry and led to the overwhelming majority of upcoming wind farms being transferred into the ownership of large energy suppliers over the past year. Yet this is of little significance to wind turbine manufacturers and their suppliers – from gearbox engineering to cabling. It actually gives them a secure basis for long-term planning, and new contracts for a large number of turbines have been concluded. On the whole, underlying conditions have indeed been favourable for offshore wind energy – 2009 is the year of the major climate change conference in Copenhagen. Given the increasingly clear warnings coming from climatologists, Europeans are more determined than ever to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. They know they can’t reach their targets without exploiting offshore wind power. If we look at the political targets for expanding offshore wind power, we see that the political will still far exceeds manufacturers’ planned capacities. Experts confirm that feed-in tariffs in Europe and other currently beneficial conditions can generate returns of between 9 and 14 percent on invested capital. Some 160 offshore wind farms have been built or are being planned around the European continent, and this figure alone shows that investors are moving with the times. This is why planners, manufacturers and operators are in an ongoing process of making new contracts, starting construction, and commissioning wind farms. This holds true for enterprises in Bremen, Bremerhaven, Cuxhaven, Emden, Rostock and other port cities as well. We are pleased and proud that a large share of this development is in the hands of researchers and businesses which are members of the <strong>Wind</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB) network.
