How specialized ships are helping offshore wind scale

World ,

The blades on a 15-megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine are longer than a football field. Assembling one in open water, on a tower standing more than 100 meters above the waves, depends on a ship built to do nothing else. Rising electricity demand is driving rapid growth in offshore wind. Data centers, electric vehicles and… Read More
