Dynamic positioning systems offer many advantages over manual positioning systems. The automated system minimises the risk of error, allowing operations and maintenance vessels to be carefully and safely positioned alongside offshore wind turbines.
Key considerations when replacing offshore wind turbine components
When loading offshore wind turbine components onto vessels in ports, the condition of the harbour seabed is an important factor.
Out at sea, currents and wind conditions have a major effect on the positioning of the vessel next to the wind turbine. Dynamic positioning technologies are often very useful.
The preloading process includes testing whether the seabed can support a jack-up vessel’s legs.
