Prometeo, the Offshore Rover by AXIST: A Breakthrough That Reinvents Mono-Pile Flange Measurement In the world of offshore wind, precision is non-negotiable. Even the smallest deviation can lead to deformation, reduced performance, and costly corrective interventions. Measuring the flange of a mono-
The offshore wind industry has faced significant headwinds in the past couple of years, with most of the negative effects tracing their origin back to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the geopolitical turmoil caused by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. This has led to supply chain instabili

The following article is a guest post by Alexander Hansen Bakken, Cyber Security Consultant, DNV. DNV’s 2022 Energy Transition Outlook, an independent model of the world’s energy systems, forecasts that wind energy will grow 10-fold by 2050, boosted by cheaper turbines and improvements in operation
GE, Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), and Dubai-based Seasplit Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under which they will study the feasibility of developing 1.5 GW of offshore wind power in the Gulf of Suez. The companies signed the MoU with a focus on the industr
A new report, published by 4C Offshore, has revealed that many countries are falling behind their 2030 floating offshore wind targets, but there could be still a chance to meet them. According to the latest 4C Offshore’s Global Floating Wind report, targets for 2030 wind production from floating, ra
The relentless drive to reduce the levelized cost of electricity generated by wind is hindering the sector’s supply chain just when it needs to be accelerating deployment, according to renewable energy engineering and project management consultancy, K2 Management. The European wind industry needs to
Offshore Wind Consultants (OWC) has developed a market study that has identified 54 territories as potential floating offshore wind markets. “This study provides an insight into the where, when and how floating offshore wind can develop to become a global industry, and hence plays a critical role in
