Webinar: Offshore Aquaculture Units and Support Vessels: Challenges and Industry Approaches
Wednesday 11th November, 2020
The recent establishment of the Blue Economy CRC is aimed at unlocking the potential of the nation’s ocean resources, through the sustainable development of offshore seafood and renewable energy production systems.
Included in these prospects for blue growth is the co-location and/or integration of both seafood and renewable energy production systems, which can potentially have several synergistic benefits, among these include shared resources, efficient use of ocean space, less competition amongst other user groups of marine space, reduced operational and maintenance (O&M) costs from possible shared activities.
However, sites located further offshore generally have a more severe wave climate year-round compared to nearshore or coastal sites. Scheduling for all forms of operations for both the offshore renewable energy (e.g., a wind farm) and aquaculture farms, including installations and decommissioning, depends on available weather windows at the specific offshore site.
For instance, loading or unloading of live fish stocks in floating aquaculture pens may be more sensitive to sea states, and are typically longer in duration than an O&M visit for an offshore wind turbine where increased wave heights is an impediment only to vessels under seaway for transfer of personnel.
In this webinar, you will hear from two industry experts talking about these aspects and challenges and the current industry approaches to these issues.
Presented by Mr Per Arild Åland (DNV.GL) and Mr Ben Corden-McKinley (BMT)
