As offshore wind continues to accelerate growth into new markets, the industry must keep looking to the future and anticipate growth to avoid any potential bottlenecks and be able to fulfil a growing demand for offshore wind. One potential bottleneck which could slow offshore wind installation is the availability of vessels that are critical for offshore wind turbines installation execution, which is why GWEC Market Intelligence has published its first ever Global Offshore Wind Turbine Installation Database as an important resource for the industry.
