Offshore wind

At Maritim Consult, we have been part of the offshore wind industry since the development of the first large-scale offshore wind farms in Northern Europe. Our first offshore wind project was Horns Rev 1 in the Danish sector of the North Sea in 2002. Since then, we have delivered aids to navigation and mooring solutions to more than 20 offshore wind farms, including every Danish offshore wind project over the past decades.

 

This experience has given us a deep understanding of the requirements for safety, operational reliability, visibility, and regulatory-compliant navigation marking in offshore environments.

 

Aids to navigation throughout the project lifecycle

We support offshore wind projects from the earliest environmental and site investigations through construction and into the long-term operational phase of the wind farm.

 

Our solutions include:

• Temporary marking of survey areas and work zones

• Temporary marking of construction areas with lighted buoys during the installation phase. Solutions are available as both rental and full-service packages, including installation, maintenance, and recovery.

• Marking of foundations and offshore substations with solar-powered lanterns, ensuring visibility and safe navigation during both construction and operation.

• Mooring buoys for CTVs and service vessels, helping to reduce transit time, fuel consumption, and personnel costs throughout the project's lifecycle. See our mooring buoy case study for an example.

• Permanent navigation marking solutions for offshore wind farms.

• Complete turnkey solutions for permanent aids to navigation, including engineering, regulatory approvals, equipment supply, installation, and ongoing service and maintenance.

 

Reliable solutions for demanding offshore environments

Offshore wind projects operate under challenging conditions. Wind, waves, currents, and long distances from shore place high demands on both equipment and installation.

 

That is why we deliver robust solutions focused on:

• High visibility and navigational safety

• Low maintenance requirements

• Long service life in offshore environments

• Efficient installation and commissioning

• CO₂-reducing solutions through solar-powered lanterns

• High operational reliability and availability

• Compliance with national and international regulations

 

Flexible solutions for construction and operation

The requirements of an offshore wind project evolve throughout its lifecycle. We therefore offer consultancy, rental, supply, installation, service, and maintenance of aids to navigation.

 

Whether your project involves environmental surveys, cable installation, foundation installation, turbine installation, or the permanent marking of a completed wind farm, we can provide a solution tailored to your project schedule, risk profile, and operational requirements.
