Foundation Installation Vessel with SWL 8000 tonnes crane should cover the need for the largest and deepest bottom fast wind turbines in the foreseeable future:
To provide for tomorrow’s needs in offshore wind, Ulstein has expanded its portfolio with the ULSTEIN HX122 design. The design features an ULSTEIN X-BOW® and an ultra-high-capacity crane, enabling operators and contractors to efficiently transport...
PS> Not specifically designed for the US market, but I’m sure Ulstein would be able to make the modifications required to build in the US and operate under US flag.

For floating wind projects, we will see the largest anchor handlers and light subsea construction vessels deployed to pre-install mooring systems designed to maintain the position of the floating wind turbines, to tow the structures from port and to hook-up the floating turbines to pre-existing moorings. For example, the analysis identifies the optimal size of anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels for mooring pre-lay as having a bollard pull of at least 250 tonnes and a clear back deck of over 800 square meters.
Will any large AHTs be built specifically for the US floating wind market?

Edda Winds CSOVs are designed to set a new standard in the offshore wind market. Every effort has been made in the design to maximize the efficiency of operations in the wind farm. In addition, these vessels will be ready for running emission-free on a hydrogen-based propulsion system. Within just a few years they will be the first CSOVs operating without carbon emissions, truly enabling a green future.

Good news for shipyards and Offshore Marine Cos.:
Billions of dollars are likely to be spent on new anchor handlers to meet floating wind farm installation vessel demand through 2035. According to research carried out by analytics firm Intelatus Global Partners, an investment of around $3bn will be...

PS> And for mariners who will be needed to crew all those new “state of the art” vessels to come.
Global floating wind commissioned capacity at the end of 2022 was less than 200 MW. By 2030, close to 11 GW of commercial-scale wind farms are planned to be commissioned in Europe and the Asia Pacific region. According to Intelatus, a period of high commissioning activity is expected by 2035 with the US joining these established markets.

So Fincantieri to build a HAV designed, not a VARD designed, SOV?
Maybe because Esvagt already have good experience with the HAV SOV designs?
“This is the 10th SOV that ESVAGT is developing together with HAV Design. The long-term close cooperation with HAV Design will ensure the highest performance and efficiency, and always based on Safety First,” says Kristian Ole Jakobsen, DCEO in ESVAGT.
