SOV KEY CHALLENGES US MARKET.
SOV Capital Costs and Schedule Realisms • US has higher production labor rates than other parts of the world and fluctuating
taxes on imported foreign materials/equipment• Current 355 US Naval Ship push and other US Government programs have and
continue to provide a large boost in the US Shipbuilding Industrial Base• SOVs are currently seen as unique vessels (i.e. One-Offs), not a series
Shipbuilding Considerations• Integration of equipment/systems/outfitting needs to be planned carefully• Structural production require simple, less dense arrangements to be cost effective
SOV KEY CHALLENGESDESIGN REQUIREMENTS.

With more than 70 years of experience in the offshore sector, we understand owners’ and operators’ need to enhance operational efficiencies with sustainable energy solutions.
OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT
In 2012, ABS certified the first semisubmersible offshore wind turbine WindFloat 1. Since then, ABS has remained a trusted advisor by providing classification, and independent verification and certification services for offshore wind projects globally.
SETTING GLOBAL STANDARDS FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE PROJECTS Currently, ABS remains at the forefront of technology assistance to the growing floating offshore wind power industry, working with designers and operators to identify risk and evaluate data-driven risk and reliability solutions for these new installations. ABS has been instrumental in the formulation of global standards for wind platforms, notably working with the International Electrical Commission, IEC, on global standards for the design and fabrication of floating wind installations. ABS is also heavily involved in the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)’s Offshore Compliance Recommended Practices initiative, tasked to develop an ANSI standard for the U.S. Offshore Wind Farms.
LEADING CLASSIFICATION SERVICESIn 2011, ABS published the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Bottom-Founded Offshore Wind Turbine Installations followed by the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Installations in 2013. ABS also published the Guidance Notes on Global Performance Analysis for Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Installations,
as technical guidance in addition to applicable industry standards and regulations. These documents offer the necessary direction for the development of offshore wind turbine installations to ensure regulatory compliance.
ABS can assist in all phases of a project development, from concept development, design, manufacturing, installation and decommissioning.
EARLY STAGES ABS can provide preliminary planning and advice (PPA) in advance of the project certification process.
CONCEPT VERIFICATIONABS can provide verification services on system level as well as component level to verify the feasibility or readiness level of a concept.
DESIGN VERIFICATIONABS will review the detailed design of the wind turbine support structures as well as mooring, mechanical and electrical systems and verify that the wind turbine generators (WTG) type certificate meets the site-specific conditions at the planned offshore location.
MANUFACTURING VERIFICATIONABS conducts inspections during the fabrication of the floating support structure and mooring. ABS will issue approval based on design verification, evaluation of quality control, testing, and measurements.
INSTALLATION SURVEYTo minimize the risks associated with installation, ABS surveyors will verify conformity with the design basis requirements.
COMMISSIONING SURVEY ABS will review commissioning procedures including verifying personnel safety features.
IN-SERVICE INSPECTION To verify that the required standards are maintained throughout the lifetime of the floating wind turbine, ABS will perform periodic annual surveys and inspections of the floating support structure as well as mooring, mechanical and electrical systems.

OFFSHORE WINDFARM SUPPORT VESSELS
LEADING CLASS SERVICES PROVIDER FOR INNOVATIVE WIND FARM VESSELS
Offshore wind farm development is driving the need for support vessel innovation. Flexible service operation vessels (SOV) can be adapted to transport crews, serve as their offshore quarters, workshop, and as a mobile warehouse for supplies, equipment, and tools.
Due to ever-increasing environmental regulations, owners of wind farm support vessels also need to consider alternative fuel types such as hybrid battery power or LNG. Regardless of a vessel’s design or its fuel, ABS can provide classification services for a range of wind farm vessels that will help them meet cabotage rules and safety requirements for initial certification and operational compliance. These vessels include:
• Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV) - typically self-elevating jackup for shallow water, floating heavy lift construction vessel for deep water
• Service Operation Vessel (SOV)
• Cable Laying Vessel
• Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) – high speed craft to transfer crew and service technicians
PROVIDING CLASSIFICATION SERVICES
The ABS Guide for Building and Classing Wind Farm Support Vessels published in 2018 specifies the classification requirements for vessels containing equipment for maintaining and repairing facilities in offshore windfarms, as well as transporting industrial personnel between a shore-based facility and offshore wind farms. Wind Farm Support Vessels may also carry cargo as part of their normal operations.
During development, requirements applied to ABS classed Offshore Support Vessels and High-Speed Craft are considered and customized in view of the unique configurations and the typical service routines of Wind Farm Support Vessels. As a result, the hull scantlings for High-Speed Wind Farm Support Craft are derived based on the anticipated en-route weather conditions.
ABS Rules for Building and Classing Marine Vessels Part 5D, Offshore Support Vessels for Specialized Services contain specific classification requirements for vessels intended for:
• Installation, maintenance and repair of wind turbines
• Heavy lift operation
• Transportation of wind turbines and their components
• Installation, maintenance, and repair of underwater power transmission cables
ABS Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units applies Part 8 Chapter 8 to mobile offshore units primarily intended for the installation, maintenance, and repair of offshore wind turbines, including pile driving, tower installation, and nacelle and blade installation. Units may include various equipment to perform or support functions such as pile driving, installation, maintenance and repair of jacket, tower, nacelle and/or blade.
