Financing and equipment availability are key challenges
Large projects are stretched over more seasons Financing becomes more difficult
More projects each year More competition for ports and vessels

The solution is simple!
By optimized installation methods By pre-commissioning onshore
Requires specialized vessels
Requires flexible start dates
Faster project execution
Year-round operations
Staggered projects

It all links together…
Fully assembled turbines in the port
Specialized quay and equipment
An accessible market
Minimum 250 turbines per year in 5 years within reach
Specialized vessels with 350 Nm reach
High utilization to minimize price

Specialized vessels are required to increase volumes and utilization
Faster More WTGs on board Less weather-sensitive
Larger volume in port
