Offshore wind is booming: not only in the Netherlands (10 parks planned) but all over the North, Irish and Baltic seas (120+ parks planned). SeaState5 targets being a “Fresh wind in offshore technology” and aims to deliver the solutions that will make the next generation of offshore wind parks low cost, low risk and highly reliable. Developing innovations that support installation contractors is the first step and of the many opportunities we see in improving and making smarter the installation of offshore wind parks, our Grasshopper system tackles this: using robotics to install the next generation 10 MW offshore wind parks with current, small vessels
