WorkBoats Additional Info on WorkBoats

The work boats you posted above include all the work boats I had found and more. However I do have 2 companies that have vessels used for wind farm installations that I have emailed and are waiting to hear back from. The link to both companies is shown below.

5 Wind farm duration data as of 11/14/11. Still going through Horns Rev II and Walney I double checking things.

Found this website which has tons of info on wind turbines. []

Friday I spoke with Brian Boutkan (Jumbo Offshore) and Ann Parratt (Vattenfall) and they both said that if they were design for optimal installation weather conditions they would structure it around Foundation Installations and/or Turbine Installations. To them these are the 2 most crutial points in the installation process seeing as how they require massive ships and both the Foundation and the Turbines are extremely expensive as well. Both of them said that the Foundation Installation and the Turbine Installation (including nacelle and rotors) take roughly around the same amount of time. Brian said 2-4 days and Ann said 3-5 days. Our data seems to reflect this time frame.
