Offshore Wind: Is it really back on track?

After two years of downturn, the offshore wind market is showing signs of improvement — but the road ahead is far from smooth. New challenges continue to emerge such as rising geopolitical risk, an aging vessel fleet, and an incoming wave of component replacements.

In this webinar, Spinergie experts Maëlig Gaborieau, Senior Offshore Wind Analyst, and Patrick Sanguily, VP Sales, ask: “Is offshore wind really back on track?” They’ll be looking at where the market stands today, our project-level demand view through 2035, and the operational challenges market players must find the answers to. 

Using our granular, data-driven approach, we’ll walk through our bottom-fixed and floating demand expectations alongside the impact of heavy-lift vessel undersupply and increased heavy Operations & Maintenance (O&M) requirements. 

‍What you’ll learn‍

• Where the market stands: we’ll provide a candid read of the state of offshore wind in 2026 including the impact of the Hormuz crisis and what H1 2026 results tells us about underlying developer and supplier health. 
• The demand forecast: we’ll share our bottom-fixed project-level view of vessel and component demand through 2035 with a brief look towards the floating sector. 
• Heavy-lift supply squeeze: we’ll discuss why heavy-lift vessel supply could become a key constraint, and share what it means for project schedules. 
• Rising O&M requirements: we’ll examine how the ageing fleet will be impacted by major component replacement needs.  
• What’s next: we’ll look to the future by identifying what the offshore wind market will need to grow.

Who is this webinar for?‍

This session is for anyone responsible for the strategic planning of offshore wind projects and the vessels that deliver them. Topics discussed will be of interest to supply chain managers, procurement leads, project directors, and vessel owners. 

‍What you’ll take away from this webinar

You’ll leave the session with a clearer understanding of where offshore wind stands today and where project and vessel demand is headed over the next decade. You’ll learn where practical challenges are emerging and how the market can meet these new challenges and opportunities. As always, you will have the time to bring your own questions in a live Q&A.
