In this course, the lectures will focus on pinpointing the possible weak links in the offshore wind transport and logistics chain and provide knowledge on industry practices from professionals in the sector.
Offshore wind farm development is a popular topic today. A large offshore wind farm houses around 150 wind turbines and the nacelle of a single wind turbine can already contain up to 65,000 individual parts. All these parts must be transported from the supplier to the offshore wind farm in a complex time-critical logistics chain. This chain consists of many areas of expertise and stakeholders which have to cooperate closely to prevent project delays.
In this two-day course participants will be introduced in this vast network of interconnecting relations. The lectures will focus on the weak links and challenges in this chain and provide knowledge on industry practices from professionals in the sector. The scope of the course will range from technical to legal aspects, and from the production of the smallest part to the operation and maintenance of a complete wind farm. These lectures will be enhanced with practical cases covering the installation and planning process amongst others. In this manner, participants will gain awareness on the complexity of this topic.
The ‘Offshore Wind Basics’ training course and its materials are written and given entirely in English. However, it will be possible to give the lectures in Dutch if all the participants are Dutch.
This course is developed for professionals working in the offshore wind industry who are in one way or another involved in the logistical processes/interfaces of installation and transport of offshore wind farms and of their components. It is particularly of interest for people working in logistics but are new to the offshore wind, but also technical people who deal with logistical aspects and interfaces on a daily basis will find this course useful. Whether they work for marine contractors, energy companies, port authorities, insurance companies, or manufacturers, if they wish to develop and expand their skills on transport and logistics in the offshore wind industry they can join this course.
Until further notice all training courses will be given in either online or hybrid format. Both hybrid and online training courses consist of live-streaming sessions with continuous interaction between the teachers and all participants. The difference between these formats is that during hybrid sessions a small number of participants can attend physically in our building in Delft, while others attend simultaneously via live-streaming. The content of the lectures and cases during a hybrid session is equal for both physical and online participants. All participants receive a DOB-box beforehand containing all materials required for both online and physical participation.
The maximum number of participants allowed at our training courses will depend on the Dutch COVID-19 regulations and may vary over time. Allotting the available physical seats will be done based on the ‘first come first served’ principle.
If necessary, or if we deem fit, we can and will switch from hybrid to online format to safeguard the health of our clients and colleagues. This implies that also the physical participants will have to attend via the live–streaming session online. We do not advise to wait for a next session to attend physically, as we cannot guarantee safe participation at our building months or even weeks ahead of time. DOB-Academy reserves the right to switch from a hybrid to an online format up to 24 hours before the start of the training course.
Registration closes a week before the training course in order to send all training materials on time.
