Even so, the experiences with on-again/
off-again wind energy policy in various
countries have made industry players
cautious. The Offshore WIND Installation
and Maintenance Conference in
Amsterdam (Netherlands, 29 Oct. 2014)
addresses the multiple challenges that
are associated with solid future industry
growth. The OWIM Conference is held
simultaneously with Offshore Energy
Exhibition & Conference. Sessions this
year focus on offshore grid develop-
ments, global business opportunities,
supply chain management, and the
latest developments in foundation
design, installation, and maintenance.

In search of solid foundationsAcross the globe, governments are changing their policies to accommodate
the deployment of offshore wind energy projects. According to the Global Wind
Energy Council, market growth over the next five years will be concentrated in
Asia, Latin America, and Africa – regions where the demand for “easy” growth
will increase rapidly.

Offshore grid developments
In Europe installed offshore wind energy
capacity totals some 11 GW. The European
Wind Energy Association has set a target
of 40GW offshore wind in 2020. Installing
sufficient transmission capacity is a
prerequisite for realizing this target and
future ambitions. At the OWIM Conference
in Amsterdam in October, experts will
discuss what is needed to connect to the
onshore transmission system, lower the
costs of grid connectivity, and establish
a cross-border regulatory framework.
One of the speakers in the grid session is
Mr. Wessel Bakker, Business Line Director
ETD at DNV GL. He will address reducing
risks in submarine cable quality in new
offshore projects.
Submarine power cables account for
just a small portion of the total amount
of investments in offshore wind farm
development. However, when these power
cables fail, the impact is typically quite
significant. DNV GL recently presented its
plans for a new Joint Industry Project (JIP),
in order to define a complete submarine
cable quality reference.
Global business opportunities
China’s political support for wind drives
continued growth in that market. Frans
Brughuis, engineering company Mecal,
is one of the conference speakers who will
share his company’s experiences in doing
business in China during the session on
Global Business Opportunities. Bastiaan
van Wijk of consultants Ecofys will
address the market potential in India, and
opportunities for international cooperation.
According to Van Wijk, opportunities in
offshore wind are definitely there, and India
has set a target for 30 GW wind energy
(currently 19 GW onshore wind installed).
However, companies have to be aware
of possible hurdles and uncertainties as
offshore wind in India has yet to take off.
Supply chain management
Activities in emerging markets benefit
from the lessons learned in more mature
markets. In the session on supply chain
management, optimization of processes
that surround logistics and their cost
reducing potential are discussed by
representatives of various parts of the
value chain. David Hodkinson of Technip
UK will discuss EPC contracts versus
multi-contracting structures, and the
impact EPC contracts could have on the
viability of offshore wind investments.
Future foundations
The Future foundations session presents
innovative concepts and designs for
foundations and foundation installation
and maintenance. Jasper Winkes, founder
and owner of Fistuca, will share the
latest test results of Fistuca’s BLUE Piling
Technology. This technology creates pile
driving energy by combustion, thereby
accelerating a large column of water.
Matt Bleasdale of Offshore Wind Logistics
and Construction (OWLC) will present his
Gravity Tripod, a patent-pending foundation
concept that does not even require piling
and is installed with minimal seabed
intervention. Bert van der Velden of
Boskalis Offshore will present the Pile
Reconditioning Cofferdam System, a new
invention which creates a safe and dry
environment in which the pile can be
cleaned, checked, and repaired.

Column
Offshore wind industry needs standardization
By standardization I do not mean designing
customized solutions for every site, but
trying to deliver standard designs where
possible. For example, common designs
for offshore substations.
At DONG Energy we endeavor to standardize
processes where we can. We have built a
business model on multi-contracting, and
we use that approach in all markets in which
we operate. In the last five to eight years
we have learned a lot about managing
multi-contract projects and handling the
interfaces, and I think we can include that
as one of our strengths. There are obviously
local differences between markets, but
a common approach can contribute to
reducing risk and help in the standardization
of offshore wind.
When we look at possible standardization
of regulatory frameworks in the various
EU member states, we see pros and cons
in each one of them. It would be great if
we could pick the best parts from each.
For example, the ability to take up a site
that has planning consent and a grid
connection is obviously an advantage in
Denmark compared to the UK. This means
lower risk and being able to build projects
at a lower cost. That said, the market size
in the UK has allowed us to develop a strong
pipeline, and the distribution of the German
offshore wind farm clusters brings
advantages during both construction and
operation of the sites. Both Germany and
the UK have done well in setting out a clear
framework toward 2020 and allowing for
sufficient sites to be developed. This will
help them to allocate a continuous pipeline
of projects, which is important to deliver
cost reductions. We are also closely
following the developments in the Dutch
market, where the policy is now put in place
to achieve an ambitious target in 2023.
When it comes to financing the planned
wind farms of today and tomorrow, we see
an increasing interest from institutional
investors. As project sizes increase projects
require significantly more funding, providing
attractive opportunities for existing and
new investors. Institutional investors are
becoming more educated about the specific
characteristics and risk profile of the
offshore wind industry. DONG Energy has
brought third party financing to its projects,
ranging from utilities to pension funds
and other institutional investors.
We would like to see more certainty in
all markets for offshore wind in the next
decade. It is important that EU member
states quickly develop stable and long-term
conditions for investments that are valid
after 2020. For offshore wind projects
with a lifecycle of 24 years, it is crucial that
the investment climate is transparent and
long-term. That alone will afford companies
the potential to develop and mature the
technologies, reduce the production costs,
and make a significant contribution to the
energy transformation. The EU made a step
toward a new framework with the recent
announcement on non-binding renewable
targets, and we now look forward to
seeing these translated into tangible plans.
Column by Thomas Færch Brostrøm
Cost reductions are a huge industry focus. I am confident
that we can lower the levelized costs of energy by 30 to 40
percent for those projects that will achieve FID in 2020. Of all
the possible reductions in CapEx and OpEx, one of the innovations
that needs to come forward is standardization of offshore wind.

Pipeline Director

“The French hydrocarbons industry has many strengths, notably its great capacity for innovation, which has enabled it to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of quality and safety. Moreover, the technologies and know-how are being applied intensively to new sources of energy.” Jean Ropers, President of GEP-AFTP.
Since its start in 2008 Offshore Energy has seen increasing numbers of international exhibitors and visitors, year after year. We happily announce that GEP-AFTP – the French association of companies and professionals in the oil, gas, and related industries – will be exhibiting at Offshore Energy. The presence of GEP-AFTP is testimonial of Offshore Energy’s growing international reputation.
GEP-AFTP aims to promote the technological and industrial excellence of the French hydrocarbons industry across the world and to nurture the international deployment of French oil and gas companies, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. To fulfill its objectives, the association offers its members a whole range of tools and services.
GEP-AFTP network brings together some 1,350 members (250 corporate members and 1,100 individual oil and gas professionals). Their areas of expertise cover the entire oil and gas sector (exploration, production, storage, refining, and distribution).
The GEP-AFTP missions:• Promoting excellence; • Anticipating future business trends; and • Developing skills.
GEP-AFTP have motivated the launch of CLAR-EN, a renewable energy think tank. In 2014 CLAR-EN’s activities will include the organization of a workshop on offshore wind, namely the Hydrocarbon Days conference, and formatting thematic roundtables.

GEP-AFTP present at Offshore Energy 2014
“The global energy sector operates in a highly dynamic and competitive business environment. The total offshore capital expenditures of oil and gas companies are expected to exceed USD 270bn year-on-year by 2018. So while the size and complexity of offshore projects are growing, raising the required financing is becoming more crucial than ever before. Offshore contractors demand creative solutions and flexible funding to secure swift delivery and seamless execution for their off-takers. We have seen an increased liquidity in the markets and there are several funding sources for the clients to select from. At the same time, the current volatility and increasing regulations mean you need to be smart when undertaking major investments that require financing.” Cornelie Goedhuis, Global Head - Natural Resources, ING Bank
ING has been a true leader in financing the Offshore Services market for over 20 years. This is once more recently confirmed by its number 1 position as Global Bookrunner for syndicated loans in this sector for 2013.

We are pleased to welcome Ms. Tineke Netelenbos to our Committee of Recommendation. In June 2008 she was appointed as the president of the KNVR, the Royal Association of Netherlands Shipowners. She is a member of the Board of ECSA, the European Community Shipowners’ Associations, and member of the Board of the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers. Ms. Netelenbos is also a member of the Advisory Board of MARIN, President IT platform (ECP), President ProSea, President Advisory Council ports of Wadden islands, Member Cyber Security Council, and Member High Level Consultation Ministry of Economic Affairs.
In the past Ms. Netelenbos filled several political positions. These include State Secretary for education in the first Kok cabinet (1994-1998) and minister of Transport, Public Works, and Water Management in the second Kok cabinet (1998-2002).
Tineke Netelenbos will join the existing members of the Offshore Energy Committee of Recommendation: Jaap den Ouden (Mercon), Kommer Damen (Damen Shipyards Group), Sander Vergroesen (IRO), Ruud B. Zoon (GDF SUEZ E&P Netherlands), Gerard Schut (Vermilion), Joep Athmer (Van Oord Offshore), Jo Peters (NOGEPA), Arend van Nieuwland (Tullow Overseas Holdings), André Goedée (Boskalis), Michael Kahn (Jumbo Offshore), Harold W.M. Linssen (Keppel Verolme BV), Sjef van Dooremalen (Holland Shipbuilding Association), Koen Schuiling (Mayor of Den Helder, Representing NHN - Development Company Holland North), Martin C.J. van Pernis (KIVI), Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven (Heerema Fabrication Group S.E.), and Bart van de Leemput (NAM).
Dutch offshore companies realized a unique operation in the North Sea. Under the direction of Seaway Heavy Lifting, one of the world’s largest convertor platforms – a “power socket at sea” – has been installed to the west of Sylt, the East Frisian island.
At 83 meters long, 56 meters wide, and 26 meters high, the SylWin alpha platform is the largest of its type. Because it is so large and heavy the ingenious “float-over” method has been used to lift it from a pontoon onto the already installed “jacket” (the base of the platform). Earlier this year, Seaway Heavy Lifting used its crane vessel Oleg Strashnov to install the jacket.
Siemens commissioned Seaway Heavy Lifting (based in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands) to perform the unusual operation, which in turn called in the assistance of maritime service providers Dockwise and Mammoet. The 14,000Mt SylWin alpha platform was transported on a pontoon that was positioned in between the jacket legs. The platform was installed onto the legs of the jacket by ballasting the pontoon. Dockwise was responsible for this phase. Mammoet then used jacks to lift the platform into its final position on the jacket.
The SylWin alpha converter platform will serve as a “power socket” for the DanTysk, Sandbank, and Butendiek wind farms, which together comprise 240 wind turbines and represent a generating capacity of 864 megawatt.
