Three shipyards spread across the US are said to be in the running for a potential $500m wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) newbuilding project being pursued by New York-listed Eneti.
Market sources have identified the trio as Keppel AmFELS in Texas, ST Engineering Halter Marine and Offshore in Mississippi and the Philly Shipyard in Pennsylvania.
Scorpio Group-backed Eneti announced on Tuesday that it was in "advanced discussions" with US shipyards for a fully Jones Act-compliant WTIV that would serve the growing US market for offshore wind power.
