PARIS — 2022 was a big year for Europe: 19 wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) worked on installation campaigns across European waters for a total of 2,840 days—up 30% from 2021.
Scotland saw the most installation activity (in vessel days), led by SSE Renewables’ Seagreen 1.
France ranked second (again), thanks to EDF’s Saint Nazaire, the country’s first commercial-scale offshore wind project.
Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam was the main marshalling hub in the North Sea. It was used for Vattenfall's entire Hollandse Kust Zuid campaign and also

The newest developments in offshore lifting nowadays are in the wind energy field. As turbines get heavier, blades get longer and towers get higher, demands on lifting technology increase. Julian Champkin reports.
Ten years ago any article about maritime and offshore lifting would have been about oil and gas. Even five years ago the same thing would have been primarily true, though offshore wind farms might have got a brief mention. Today this article is almost entirely about lifting for the offshore wind industry.
The reasons for the change are clear: the engineering challenges that faced offshore oil and gas exploration in its early days were huge. How, actually, in real life

Viridis Bulk Carriers, a joint venture of Norwegian shipping consultancy Amon Maritime and compatriot shipowners Navigare Shipping & Logistics and AS Mosvolds Rederi, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Stema Shipping to collaborate on ammonia-powered short-sea shipping project “FlexBulk – NH3 Power”.
As explained, the company will join the other 7 cargo owners Elkem, Vestkorn, Yara, BioMar, Franzefoss Minerals, Viken AT Market and Saltimport. The project’s goal is to reduce the cost impact of using carbon-free ammonia fuel, which may initially be more expensive than fuels used today.
According to the partners, the realization of the project will have a significant impact on local pollutants and global CO2 emissions from shipping, in addition to reducing value
