At various stages in the lifecycle of a floating asset, inspection, maintenance, repair, or life-extension activities are required. As projects scale up and fleets of similar floaters are deployed, planning efficient lifecycle management becomes increasingly important. Presenters are invited to share lessons learned from recent projects and discuss strategies for managing maintenance and repair activities across multiple assets.
We are currently inviting speakers to present on topics such as:
- Equipment and technologies that support efficient maintenance of floating wind assets
- Vessel operations from recent projects involving mooring replacement or tow-to-port maintenance
- Operator experiences with repair or life-extension projects
- Developer approaches to maintenance and contingency planning
If you are interested in contributing or would like more information, please feel free to get in touch.
