Seismic events can significantly affect wind turbines, foundations, offshore substations, power cables and installation vessels, creating engineering challenges beyond those addressed by conventional wind and wave design approaches.
The vessels will be built at the Dajin Heavy Industries shipyard in China based on a design by Groot Ship Design and incorporating a predominantly European makerslist.
The new vessels will reduce carbon emissions by using a combination of clean technologies, such as wind-assist technology – a feature expected to reduce emissions by up to 19%.
