Nekkar Leads Consortium With Norwegian Grant to Replace Offshore Wind Turbine Components With Floating Vessels.

A leading project development consortium received a conditional Norwegian grant to develop an automatic and remotely controlled lifting solution for the offshore wind industry. The grant of 75.2 million Norwegian kroner (6.5 million euros), through the Norwegian government’s Green Platform Initiative, will be used to develop a safe and efficient solution for the replacement of major components (MCR) in offshore wind turbines to reduce time, costs, and revenue loss due to downtime. Nekkar leads the consortium that includes Kongsberg Maritime, DOF, an undisclosed global wind farm developer, GCE Node, NORCE, Sustainable Energy Catapult Center, Sintef Ocean, and the University of Agder. The project will develop a self-elevating and remotely controlled lifting equipment, based on Nekkar’s SkyWalker wind turbine installation tool, which moves up and down the turbine tower to replace major components such as gearboxes and blades.

Additionally, a crane developed with motion compensation will be part of the initiative, aimed at lifting the SkyWalker from a floating vessel to a floating turbine. The project will also evaluate the impact of the solution from a total wind farm perspective, using and developing existing tools for offshore logistics, vessel design, and maritime operations. The goal is to develop a major component replacement solution that can be used offshore in floating and fixed-bottom wind turbines, both for new constructions and existing installations.

Project Development With The Norwegian Grant

In developing the Green Platform Initiative, we are focusing on several major components, including offshore wind turbines, floating vessels, and wind farms. The aim is to explore new constructions and technologies to drive offshore logistics and the development of floating wind turbines.

Sustainable Development and The Green Platform Initiative

The development of the Green Platform Initiative will be driven by the Norwegian grant, allowing us to advance the implementation of offshore wind energy projects. Our approach focuses on ensuring economic and environmental viability, building strategic partnerships, and investing in innovative solutions.

Development of Offshore Wind Technologies

In developing offshore wind farm projects, we are committed to driving the renewable energy industry. With the Norwegian grant, we will invest in floating wind turbines and innovative vessels, aiming to expand wind energy generation capacity in a sustainable manner.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Portugal installs two giant underwater sockets to draw water from the Atlantic and create a €107.9 million desalination plant in the Algarve capable of producing 43.2 million liters of potable water per day with ocean intake 2 km from the coast.

China wants to transform coal waste into a source of critical metals and use industrial ash to extract germanium, lithium, gallium, and aluminum used in batteries, chips, and electric vehicles.

The United States will spend $325 million to resurrect drones with a 40-meter wingspan, flying for 34 consecutive hours at an altitude of 18,000 meters, just to time the speed of their own Mach 5 missiles.

Family has lived for over 50 years without electricity and running water at home in the South of Minas, 10 minutes from the city, improvising light, bath, and water while facing a lack of basic resources and awaiting property regularization.

800-year-old skeletons found embracing have their impressive story revealed after DNA results

Christmas trees thrown away become a natural barrier in Alabama, where teams repurpose thousands of pines on the beaches of Gulf Shores to trap sand, rebuild dunes, and protect houses against storms and hurricanes for almost four decades.
