Around 80% of the world's offshore wind resource potential is in waters deeper than 60 metres, where fixed-bottom wind turbines are not a viable option. Thus, #floating wind turbines could shape the future of #wind energy. However, investment and development of #ports infrastructure is a central requirement to meet the planned pipeline of floating offshore wind projects. This includes the potential fabrication and assembly of substructures at quayside and selected turbine installation methodology. Port development also needs to address O&M needs, which may require tow-to-port (servicing turbines back at port) given the challenging conditions further offshore. Today at Port of Port-La Nouvelle the WindEurope Offshore Wind Ports Platform met together with the broader supply chain to understand and overcome challenges facing the success of floating offshore wind. Thank you Thomas Debize, Julien Ciglar and Laurie Lanovaz for your warm welcome and hospitality ! Thank you Jelle Schepens, Jeremy de Barbarin, Antoine LEFEVRE, David Filiol, Valentine Declerck, Christophe Desaubliaux, Johannes Gantenbein, Karen Cannenterre, CFA and Alexio Picco for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise in the implementation and funding of floating offshore wind projects! And thank you to all the participants for contributing to a truly engaging and enlightening meeting for all of us!
