By Debra K. Rubin The leading U.S. offshore wind energy development conference’s return to New York City in 2026 was more muted in celebrating major project milestones than what was likely envisioned at the first event in 2019, as the sector has coped with the economic realities of launching a new domestic industry and now faces the full… Read More
By Bojan Lepic New York State has killed its fifth offshore wind solicitation after 19 months of delays, citing federal actions under president Donald Trump for torpedoing market confidence and halting new OREC contracts. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) closed the round on February 13 without awards, despite 25 proposals… Read More
Fabrication is officially underway following the steel‑cutting ceremony for LanWin1, McDermott’s second project in TenneT’s 2GW Program. Well done to our teams for driving progress toward delivering clean offshore wind energy from the North Sea to Germany. Source
Preparing cable routes for a future offshore wind farm is a time-consuming operation. This is certainly true in the Baltic Sea, off the Polish coast. In the very first stage, a geotechnical soil investigation must be carried out to determine the specific ground conditions. Boskalis’ subsidiary Gardline Limited was called in for this activity. Afterwards,… Read More
By Prince As much as wind power has been beneficial for the United States over the years, it has faced the most adversity in 2026 following the Trump Administration’s return to power. There is an increasing number of court cases that are either yet to be decided on or have been halted indefinitely, which has… Read More
By Myrna M. Velasco LONDON, England – As governments double down on offshore wind from Europe to the Asian markets, discussions are no longer just about gigawatt installations and climate targets. They have shifted toward a harsher reality: escalating curtailments that leave turbines idle and waste billions in consumer money, while cybersecurity and data sovereignty… Read More
MacGregor has been selected to supply a substantial 400-tonne Active Heave Compensated (AHC) subsea crane for a new 127-metre Floating Wind Farm Construction Vessel (FWCV). Purpose-built for the burgeoning floating offshore wind market, the new vessel is a significant development for the industry and requires one of the largest subsea AHC cranes ordered in recent years. The… Read More

During this club evening we dive into the world of nuclear energy on board ships. What does this technology mean for the maritime sector? What about the technology, the practical… Read More
By Ari Natter and Jonathan Ferro The Trump administration plans to appeal a series of court rulings blocking efforts to stop construction of offshore wind farms, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Wednesday. “Absolutely we are,” Burgum told Bloomberg Television. “There will be further discussion on this.” U.S. judges have overturned five orders by the Trump administration to halt… Read More
US President Donald Trump swept back into office on a mission to stop the domestic offshore wind industry in its tracks. That is actually something any idiot could accomplish with the swipe of a pen. All you need to do is yank the federal leases that offshore developers depend on, and — oh, wait. Somebody… Read More
By Aaron Larson Record capacity, record auctions, and record-breaking turbines mark a maturing industry, but U.S. policy reversals and macroeconomic headwinds threaten to slow momentum. The global offshore wind industry achieved significant milestones in 2024 and early 2025, with installed capacity surpassing 83 GW and a record-breaking 56 GW awarded in competitive auctions worldwide. Yet,… Read More
By Ting Nan Wang A South Korean offshore and marine contractor has clinched a deal to build the country’s first installation vessel able to install 15MW offshore wind turbines. Hanwha Ocean clinched the newbuild contract to build a wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) for its affiliate Ocean Wind Power 1. Hanwha, formerly Daewoo Shipbuilding &… Read More
The North Sea Summit of the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) took place in Germany at the end of January this year. Europe’s offshore wind potential is at the heart of its efforts to achieve climate neutrality, affordability and energy independence amid turbulent geopolitical conditions. This is a significant development for an energy-intensive industry such as the European steel… Read More
The first set of ten concrete working platforms for our Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm are headed to the UK’s Port of Tyne from Świnoujście, Poland. The platforms are an integral part of the foundations of an offshore wind farm, designed to withstand the harsh weather conditions out at sea and keep our workers safe. Those are some extreme working conditions! This is the… Read More
By Georgina Jedikovska The world’s first 20-megawatt (MW) wind turbine, which is capable of powering more than 44,000 times a year, has finally been connected to the Chinese’s grid. China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC), the Chinese state-owned clean energy giant behind the project the world’s largest hydropower developer, the colossal turbine was connected to the… Read More
