Sarens PSG’s new Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence in Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone has been selected as the base for a groundbreaking study to enable industrial-scale deployment of floating wind turbines in the North Sea. Commissioned by the BlueFloat Energy | Nadara Partnership, the study aims to develop cost-effective methods for transporting floating foundations from construction sites to operational locations.
The initiative will examine deployment operations for production-scale volumes over multiple years, focusing on cost, risk, scheduling, and the impact on port infrastructure. The findings will play a crucial role in advancing the Partnership’s ambitious floating wind projects in Scotland.
As industry leaders prepare for the Scottish Renewables Offshore Wind Conference, Sarens PSG and its partner, Sarens NV, will leverage their world-class expertise in engineered heavy lifting and transport to address key challenges. These include ensuring safe, efficient, and low-risk deployment processes and optimizing the use of high-specification port infrastructure.
“This study represents a transformative step for the floating offshore wind sector,” said Steve Clark, Managing Director of Sarens PSG. “Scaling deployment processes for next-generation solutions will be pivotal in achieving Net Zero targets.”
