Unparalleled Deepwater Expertise

80 percent of offshore wind resources are in deep waters, which is defined as water deeper than 60 meters. As simple, bottom-fixed foundations are not viable in water depths of 60 meters and more, effective deepwater structures, and especially floating designs, are all the more integral to unlocking deepwater markets.

At deep waters, the very largest turbines can be used, allowing for dramatically increased energy production. Moving from relatively large onshore turbines to the largest offshore turbines, the effect increases significantly.

Aker Offshore Wind draws on the extensive offshore development and deepwater expertise of the broader Aker group, a major contributor to the global offshore energy markets for over five decades as a designer, supplier, and service provider of offshore floating and deepwater structures in harsh environments across the world.

This experience includes:

Through a close collaboration with Aker Solutions and various agreements with other Aker companies we now leverage the vast experience and global footprint of the Aker group, including the capabilities of more than 30,000 employees.
