The East Coast between southern New England and the Carolinas is very attractive for offshore energy development. It has consistent year-round wind close to “load centers” — Boston, New York and other cities of the eastern megapolis, said James Bennett, who heads BOEM’s renewable energy program. That being said, in U.S. waters, offshore wind developers face hurdles of finding enough heavy-lift construction vessels, and even physical space in U.S. ports to accommodate the coming generation of giant wind turbines.

This article investigates some of these issues and trends from the WorkBoat perspective. Topics include:
  • Shipbuilding
  • Suppliers
  • Labor
  • Legislation
