When people think about offshore wind farms, they usually think about renewable energy. But between the turbines, another valuable resource could be produced: food. Over the past 15 years, researchers and industry partners have developed and refined methods for cultivating sugar kelp in Danish waters. The results show that seaweed can be grown at large… Read More
This vessel has now belonged to A.P. Moller – Maersk, worked for DeepOcean, moved to DOF, and is now heading to South Korea. That says a lot about where offshore is going. Many still think offshore wind is mainly a technology race. I increasingly think it is becoming a deployment race. Taihan Cable & Solution… Read More
