As the world intensifies its efforts to mitigate the impact of global warming, renewable energy is taking centre stage, with offshore wind technology playing a pivotal role. Over 200 GW of offshore wind projects are expected to be initiated globally by 2030, making large-scale wind farms more economically feasible and accelerating the sector’s expansion.
With this surge in offshore wind capacity, the demand for Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) services will grow significantly, becoming critical for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of offshore wind farms throughout their lifecycle.
Recognizing the importance of safe and effective IMR services, we, in collaboration with our strategic business partner Celtic Design Consultants (CDC), are actively exploring innovative business opportunities in this space. CDC, a leading marine design company, has developed a cutting-edge Self-Elevating Platform (SEP) vessel specifically designed for offshore wind farm IMR works. This CDC Goliath Heron vessel promises to offer superior safety and efficiency, drawing on CDC’s extensive expertise from the offshore oil and gas drilling industry.
Further bolstering our capabilities, we are proud to announce our recent partnership KEEC (Kikuchi Equipment and Engineering Company), an international company headquartered in Japan. This partnership brings valuable global resources and technical expertise to the table, enabling us to enhance the operational scope of our CDC Goliath Heron Self Elevating Platform (SEP) vessel and IMR services. Together, we are well-positioned to deliver comprehensive, reliable solutions tailored to meet the needs of the offshore wind sector.
By leveraging this robust CDC Goliath Heron design and our partnerships, we aim to provide optimized solutions for the offshore wind sector, ensuring that IMR services are delivered with the highest standards of reliability and effectiveness. Together, we are committed to supporting the global transition to renewable energy while contributing to the long-term success of offshore wind projects.
