The course will cover the key port infrastructure requirements to deliver any major type of offshore wind project, and how these are assessed. These factors are viewed from the perspective of what effect they have on each of the major stakeholders.
These factors may include - the competitiveness of major supply chain manufacturers like foundation or turbine suppliers located in ports; the influence that correct port selection can have on the cost-effectiveness of construction delivery from the perspective of Installation Contractors and Developers; and the various commercial opportunities and threats that aspects of the offshore wind industry represents to port management, both in terms of current practice, but also “disruptive technologies” that could be deployed, and changes to the regulatory and economic drivers which currently exist in the industry, or may be relevant in the future.
The focus will be mainly upon the physical and technical practicalities, but the course will also look at pertinent commercial cost-drivers (cycle-time analyses and port-fees, for example) and what consideration is given to these during port selection and how these are factored into project cost-modelling.
