Project Description
The shift to Floating Offshore Wind will require significant upscaling of our port infrastructure and vessel fleet. By building an operations and maintenance model of Ireland's future offshore floating wind and wave installations, it can predict the number of vessels and crew required, and to assess the Irish ports in terms of the required developments to service the industry both in the assembly/installation and operational phases.Project Details
