Executives start putting numbers to US offshore wind push

The US push for offshore wind farms might need as many as 38 brand new vessels.

But how much that might cost — or how they will be paid for — is still being worked out.

During Marine Money Week's online US offshore wind panel on Wednesday, ABS senior vice president Matt Tremblay said the market will need between 18 and 30 special operations vessels (SOVs) and between six and eight wind turbine installation (WTIVs) vessels by 2030.
