F.lli Righini S.p.A., a leading engineering and manufacturing company specialized in offshore equipment, has successfully designed, tested and delivered advanced Secondary Structure Installation Tools (SSIT) for Van Oord’s Baltica 2 Offshore Wind Project. The supplied systems were developed to suppo
Amsterdam, September 2026 – The countdown to Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) 2026 is on. On 24 and 25 November, the international offshore energy industry will come together at RAI Amsterdam – and now is the time to secure your ticket. With November getting closer, preparations are in
The offshore sector faces unprecedented demands for scale, volume, and structural integrity. As monopiles, transition pieces, and jacket foundations grow larger (requiring steel plates exceeding 100 mm (3.93 in) in thickness and up to 4.5 m (14.76 ft) in width) fabrication yards must resolve bottlen
The offshore wind industry has entered a decisive decade. Governments worldwide are expanding renewable energy targets, developers are scaling up project pipelines, and supply chains are adapting to meet growing demand for both fixed-bottom and floating offshore wind projects. At the same time, the
As offshore wind monopiles continue to increase in size, the installation phase is emerging as a key structural design consideration for jack-up vessels. According to a recent GustoMSC study, loads generated during monopile lowering can approach — and in some cases exceed — those associated with ext
The offshore wind sector is now standardizing around 15 MW+ mega-turbines, requiring monopile foundations with diameters stretching up to 15 meters (approx. 49 feet) and steel plate thicknesses exceeding 150 mm to 170 mm (approx. 6″ to 6.7″). For fabricators, the core challenge is clear: how to roll
With more than 80% of the exhibition floor already reserved, Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) 2026 is well on its way to another successful edition. Companies from across the offshore energy and maritime sectors have already secured their presence, recognizing OEEC as one of the leadin
Seawork returns to Southampton from 9–11 June 2026, bringing together the international exhibition, conference programme and live maritime demonstrations that have made it the UK’s leading commercial marine and workboat event. This year’s programme addresses the issues at the top of the sector’s age
The collaboration between Davi and GS Entec in the offshore wind sector has reached another significant milestone. Following the successful Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) in Italy in July 2025, the project has now entered its operational phase with the successful conclusion of the Site Acceptance Te
The Seawork Awards 2026 have seen a 43% increase in entries, compared to a year ago, indicating the ongoing importance and relevance of the three-day exhibition and conference in June. Already an established highlight of Europe’s largest on-water commercial marine and workboat event, the Seawork Awa
Porsgrunn, Norway – Cranemaster has developed the world’s largest Passive Heave Compensator (PHC) and shock absorber, engineered to safely manage dynamic loads of up to 3500 tonnes during offshore lifting operations. The new unit, CM3-3000T-5500-A, was developed in close collaboration with Heerema M
As Sif Group announces the successful ramp-up of its Maasvlakte II facility in Rotterdam, reaching a target output of four monopiles per week, the role of manufacturing equipment has taken center stage. Key to this production milestone is the integration of four Davi heavy-duty plate rolls, engineer
