The logistic for the transportation of the elements for offshore wind turbines gets more and more the bottleneck for the international markets. Export from factories or feeder to the sites (f.e. at US east coast) will be one of the main challenges.

The offshore wind industry gets pressure for cost reduction, reduced project risks and higher reliability.

Growing turbine sizes, local content production and efficient supply chain are some of the known key words.

Beside new installation vessels the focus to be taken on efficient logistics for export, import and feeder.

Coming 10 – 15 MW turbines with continuous welded and horizontal outfitted turbine towers in combination with our wind turbine transport vessel BLUE AZURIT will open up new challenges and opportunities for suppliers and wind park projects around the world.

In 2017, Neptun Ship Design celebrates its first quarter century. Germany’s biggest ship design company, headquartered in Rostock, has earned an outstanding international reputation as a developer of advanced vessels.
