10. Industrialisation initiatives to improve competitiveness of
offshore wind
Key actions to improve competitiveness Rationale
Sourcing
 Major sourcing agreement with
Siemens Wind Power regarding Standardisation of conditions
delivery of up to 500 turbines
 Framework agreements with Bladt Optimisation potential
Industries (foundations) and
Nexans (cables)
Strategic partnerships
 Joint ownership of A2SEA, including
building SEA INSTALLER, a purpose
built installation vessel Access to superior logistical
 Ownership interest in CT Offshore skills
(specialized cable installation
company)
Installation & O&M
 Optimized concepts within Scale synergies
installation concepts, technical
improvements and O&M Optimization potential

11. Why safety is important to Wind Power
 Trust, responsibility, taking care
and decency - a direct
consequence of our values
 Licence to operate – authorities
and partners are demanding good
safety performance
 Image and pride – internally and
externally
 Economy – accidents costs a lot
of money

12. The extend of our commitment to safety

16. Challenges
16

17. Marine safety challenges
 Crew competency requirements vary
from country to country
(radar navigation, fire fighting etc.)
 Many and still larger vessels operating
simultaneously on site
 Majority of wind technicians have a
non-marine back ground
 Equipment standards used are mainly
according to LSA code, which can give
challenges in working while wearing
the PPE
17

18. Helicopter challenges
 Wind farms located further offshore
 Hosting operations will become more
common
 Implementation of new training (HUET
and Hoisting)
 Implementation of new equipment
 Adapting logistic setups to match
increased heli-ops
 Wind farm heli-ops still under
development in DE
18

19. Development we would welcome
 Standards/codes for PPE tailored for the wind industry
 New types of MOB equipment suited for crew vessels with a 2-man crew
 Continuous development competency requirements for crew operating smaller
vessels in offshore wind farms (STCW?)
 Helicopter and hoist training concepts for wind technicians
