Floating Wind and the Taming of Subsea Spaghetti
for project timelines. More broadly, there is a need for greater project optimization to help ensure that developers are bidding on projects responsibly. The small number of operating floating farms means they currently have limited data to draw from about both CAPEX and OPEX.“This is where digital technology can play a role. For example, our simulation solutions help developers compare project layouts and optimize their transportation, installation and O&M strategies.” Shoreline Wind’s simulations can encompass different turbine and foundation technologies, long-term weather trends

OSV Powers Up for Deepwater Efficiency the Island Offshore Way
;We’ve done a lot over the years to reduce fuel usage. Working on hull designs, ship designs, optimizing machinery and configuration of vessels has all provided environmental and financial efficiencies. We’re now investing in and deploying hybrid solutions using battery packages and digital technology to optimize our operations. For most vessels we see tangible savings not just on fuel use, but also through reducing machine hours and therefore the cost of maintenance.”“We’ve done a lot over the years to reduce fuel usage. Working on hull designs, ship designs, optimizing
