Rocking the boat: The role of vessels in driving offshore wind growth
Show Notes

As offshore wind continues to accelerate growth into new markets, the industry must keep looking to the future and anticipate growth to avoid any potential bottlenecks and be able to fulfil a growing demand for offshore wind. One potential bottleneck which could slow offshore wind installations is the availability of vessels. Fit-for-purpose vessels are critical for offshore wind farm installation and operations, and are key to enhance safety, efficiency and sustainability of projects. In this episode of The Offshore Wind Podcast, hosts Ben and Stewart are joined by guest Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler, to discuss how vessels have evolved to improve the logistics of installing an offshore wind farm, and how we can prepare ourselves now to ensure we have the vessels in place to meet future demand.
