Expertise

OWL delivers industry-leading logistic solutions to the offshore wind industry. We help create the safe and competitive supply chain which is required to serve today’s and tomorrow’s deep-sea offshore wind parks, in order to achieve the common goal to reduce LCOE and emissions of offshore renewable energy.

Optimizing offshore wind logistics

The offshore wind industry is continuously working on LCOE and emissions reduction. This leads to larger wind turbines at deep-sea locations. This continuous development brings new demands to the supply chain and thereby corresponding service and maintenance of turbines offshore. In 2016 OWL was founded with the mission to make the logistics supply chain of offshore wind turbine maintenance more efficient both operationally and financially within the ever-changing market conditions. OWL supplies services focused on both fixed and floating turbines.

Advancing offshore wind solutions

In continuous consultation with our customer, a strong drive for innovation and a healthy dose of conservatism, OWL developed the first wind turbine service unit that is able to follow and support the market trends of safety improvements and LCOE and emissions reduction of bigger wind turbines in deeper water, further offshore: the OWL-EUROPE. To support the entire supply chain OWL also developed a competitive shallow draft subsea rock installation vessel and a floating vessel for floating turbine integration following the highest quality and safety standards.

OWL is registered as a supplier at Achilles Nordics & Central Europe Pre-Qualification System and has successfully achieved the Achilles UVDB registration, having completed an online pre-qualification questionnaire.

OWL has completed the accreditation phase successfully on the 13th July 2023, fully accredited and certified since Sept. 2023.

OWL is a Contractor member of IMCA in the Europe & Africa Region with participation in the Marine Division.

Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals

The construction of our two new SRI vessels is aligned with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Affordable and Clean Energy

The introduction of the new vessels will help reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and emissions for offshore wind parks. This cost reduction makes renewable energy more affordable, thereby accelerating the transition from conventional energy sources to renewable energy.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

CSL OWL will leverage technical industry innovation to support direct and indirect offshore wind industry jobs worldwide.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

The new vessels will provide a dedicated rock installation solution for offshore wind parks, for both the installation and maintenance of rock beds.

Climate Action

The new vessels will feature a dual fuel propulsion system, enabling the engines to run on traditional marine diesel (MGO) with the ability to run on methanol. In combination with ‘green methanol’ this advanced technology will lower the vessel emissions towards the goal of ‘net-zero’ emissions.
