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.
Aviva and Legal & General have completed financing to support Global Infrastructure Partners 50% investment in Orsted's 1218MW Hornsea 1 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
