The global push for decarbonisation has placed the maritime industry at the heart of the renewable energy revolution. From floating solar installations on reservoirs and coastal waters to the engineering challenges of offshore wind farm foundations, marine expertise is now essential to the energy transition.
Green Ship Technologies has established a dedicated renewable energy engineering division, bringing naval architecture and offshore engineering expertise to floating solar, offshore wind, and wave energy projects.
Floating Solar System Design
Floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems mount solar panels on floatation structures on water bodies, utilising space that would otherwise be unproductive. The marine environment introduces unique engineering challenges — wave action, salt corrosion, biofouling, anchor system design, and environmental impact assessment all require specialist expertise.
Key Engineering Considerations
- Floatation material selection for marine environments
- Mooring and anchoring system design
- Wave and wind load analysis per site conditions
- Electrical system design with marine-grade equipment
- Environmental impact and ecosystem analysis
- O&M access platform integration
Offshore Wind Farm Engineering Support
Offshore wind farm development requires a broad range of marine engineering capabilities — from site assessment and wind resource evaluation to turbine foundation design, inter-array cable routing, and marine logistics planning. Our team supports developers and EPCs throughout the project lifecycle.
Our Offshore Wind Services
- Site assessment and metocean data analysis
- Turbine selection and layout optimisation
- Monopile and jacket foundation design
- Subsea cable route surveys
- Marine operations planning and vessel specification
- Long-term performance monitoring support
