In this episode, Rameeza Duggal is joined by Luke Rushbrook and Ben Swarbrick to discuss the rapid evolution of vessels in the global offshore wind industry. They examine the gap between ambitious government targets and realistic forecasts, with capacity expected to reach around 480 GW by 2040. The conversation explores the shift towards much larger turbines, the growing importance of energy security alongside net zero goals, and the critical challenges facing the vessel supply chain, from installation bottlenecks to rising operations and maintenance demands. They also cover turbine failure trends, policy risks, and what developers, vessel operators, and policymakers need to consider to navigate the opportunities and constraints ahead.
