Europe leads the sector – In 2008, 357 MW of offshore
capacity was installed (vs global total to 1,471 MW) – all in
European waters
EWEA has set a target for 35 GW of installed offshore wind
capacity in Europe in 2020
Industry estimates additional 12 liftboats needed for offshore
wind turbine maintenance by 2015
Offshore wind energy development is a fast-evolving industry with increasing investment and political support
Opportunity for Ezion
Wind farms moving into deeper waters and areas with
more tidal variance
Increasing size of offshore wind farms and installed
turbines/ foundations
Greater demand for sophisticated vessels to install and
maintain offshore wind turbines
Self-propelled vessels with jack-up design favoured over
more conventional ships or barges
