About

Offshore wind plays a crucial role in the UK and mainland Europe’s ability to hit its energy targets.  Time is running out very quickly on the ability to meet them. 

The 2011 Offshore Wind Logistics event shone a much needed and timely spotlight on the challenges affecting the delivery of Europe and the UK’s ambitious wind programmes.  

Building on this success, the 2012 Second Annual Offshore Wind Logistics event will focus on establishing a logistics strategy appropriate for the construction, O&M and supply of larger, further from shore wind developments.  This event will tackle issues such as vessel shortages, challenging environmental conditions, increasing ROI, and the necessary port development to establish an efficient logistical model. 

• Exclusive insight: The Carbon Trust shares strategies for improving access systems to optimise operational windows
• Find out how to overcome supply chain challenges through building a robust offshore wind industry: The VP Global Sourcing at Alstom shares his extensive expertise
• Hear the very latest information on how to keep your personnel safe by adapting your HSE strategy to meet the demands of bigger windfarms, further from shore: The Director of EHS at Siemens explores the options
• Understand where investment will come from: Hear from the Senior VP, Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Finance, from Rabobank Group who explores how to match the appetite of investors with your requirements
