Offshore weather awareness and safety
Maritime
Weather & Environment

Let’s talk about the most effective ways to protect what matters most

As the wind energy industry pushes farther offshore, unique weather challenges are increasing risks to safety and efficiency. At our upcoming Masterclass, experts from the G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation and Vaisala will discuss innovative ways to protect crews and assets through every phase of wind farm buildup and maintenance.

What will we cover?

  • Today’s weather-related safety challenges, especially compared to the oil and gas sector
  • How wind lidar can improve offshore weather awareness
  • How greater weather awareness can mitigate risks and ensure safer offshore wind operations
  • Future visions for safety improvements, focusing on the importance of reliable weather monitoring for helicopter and vessel operations

This Masterclass is tailor made for:

  • Offshore wind park owners, developers, contractors and operators
  • Wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) and other service vessel operators and contractors
  • Offshore substation operators and developers
  • Offshore helicopter operators
  • Offshore system integrators
