Operational decisions in offshore wind are becoming increasingly complex. Wind farms are moving into deeper waters farther from shore, turbine sizes and counts are increasing and operations and maintenance (O&M) teams are having to juggle more with evolving fleets. This raises a major question: how do operators choose the right mix of vessels and helicopters to keep light O&M operations efficient, safe, and cost-effective?
Why does an effective light O&M strategy matter so much?
The ever-in-demand CTV fleet is evolving with the introduction of emerging technologies and pilot projects for the use of alternative fuels. Meanwhile, the SOV fleet is going through a brief period of over supply following a spike in orders between 2022 and 2023. This has led to a rethink in vessel owners’ strategies and the signing of O&G contracts. Finally, there is a new piece in the light O&M puzzle—helicopters. How do they fit into the overall picture?
Our upcoming webinar will examine these factors in detail using real-time data and forecasting from our Market Intelligence solution.
What we’ll cover in the webinar
- Light O&M fleet analysis including how SOVs, CTVs and helicopters are being deployed today, how usage patterns are shifting, and future expectations for trends and bottlenecks.
- A close examination of major developments in the SOV and CTV fleets including market dynamics, new technologies and potential for alternative fuels.
- Helicopter analysis—how they fit into the O&M market, where they can’t be used and lessons learned from existing projects like Dogger Bank.
- How to develop a robust O&M strategy including scenario-based use cases for Europe and APAC.
Who should join and why
Developers, operators, vessel owners, or anyone else tasked with shaping long-term O&M strategies. This webinar will equip you with the data, trends, and scenarios you need to anticipate the changing market and act on it.
