Floating Offshore Wind!! Follow me on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gni_S56D Poised to be the next significant Industrial Revolution!! Without a Ports solution to support GIG scale execution, there is NO floating offshore wind! Without a launching and retreival solution that supports GIG scale delivery, there is NO floating offshore wind! Without a crane to suppprt GIG scale integration, there is no floating offshore wind! From Concept to Decommissioning this comes down to: - Operational safety - Maximizing local content - CO2 reduction - Air quality for port communities - Port water quality - Reduction in CAPEX - Reduction in OPEX - Optimized DEVEX - Less reliance on overseas supply - Less reliance on Carbon Credits - Reduction in LCoE for consumers Bardex have simple pragmatic solutions based on existing scalable technology that supports a very short ROI that could lead to ports making hundreds of millions of dollars at a Gigawatt (GIG) scale while also benefiting developers who could save hundreds of millions. This solution has the potential to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint for the ports and for every floating offshore wind platform installed, impacting the entire life cycle of the wind farm. It also reduces the reliance on Carbon Credits up to the final decommissioning stage, enabling the saved funds across the life cycle to be utilized for lowering LCoE and boosting the local supply chain, thereby creating more high-paying jobs and less reliance on over seas supply.
