Europort 2025 is gearing up for conversations around ship finance for specialized vessels, at a time when rapid change and widespread uncertainty in the offshore wind market are undermining the case for the newbuildings the industry needs to fulfill its current commitments.
An undersupply of purpose-built vessels has driven demand for new builds in specialized parts of maritime and offshore energy industries in recent years. In the offshore wind sector in particular, the expansion of wind farm installations and the growing scale of components have created a need for a new breed of advanced – and expensive – offshore support vessels (OSVs) capable of undertaking more complex projects.
OSVs are expected to remain in service for 20 years or more, and the case for new vessels has been underpinned by a consistently stable outlook of growing demand for offshore wind power, set against the backdrop of long-term policy frameworks the investors favor.
The topic is likely to inspire lively conversations at Europort’s Ship Finance Pavilion this year, where public and private financiers, bankers, and consultants will be available to offer valuable insights, general guidance, tailored advice, and instant answers to visitors questions on funding.
