Floating Offshore Wind course 2 days. 【Hybrid: Course held in Nagasaki and online (Zoom)】
●28th and 29th, March, 2023.

The course is designed for developers of offshore wind turbines, construction companies/marine construction companies and EPC contractors, floating structure manufacturers, ship operating companies, port logistics companies, material handling equipment manufacturers, cable manufacturers, and others involved in the development, installation, operation, and dismantling of floating offshore wind turbines. It is designed to provide intensive learning across the lifecycle of floating wind turbines, from market environment and site selection, to floating and mooring technology, installation, operation and maintenance, and dismantling.
*This course was jointly developed by Vryhof of the Netherlands, a company involved in Oil&Gas offshore platforms and demonstration projects of floating offshore wind turbines around the world, DOB Academy of the Netherlands, an educational institution for working people, and Nagasaki Ocean Academy. Japanese lecturers from the academy and university professors specializing in naval architecture and ocean engineering will give lectures in Japanese.

Understand how to select the most appropriate foundation for the ground, water depth, and meteorological and oceanographic conditions of the development site, and how to install it offshore.

Participants will learn about market trends in floating offshore wind power, techniques such as floating structures and moorings, and installation and maintenance methods.
