Port Strategy That Works

Decode marshaling, O&M, manufacturing, and integration port models — and understand when multi-port strategies reduce risk versus add complexity.

Vessels and Regulations

Understand WTIVs, FIVs, SOVs, CTVs, feeder models, and Jones Act constraints — including what CBP guidance means for real-world operations.

Floating Wind Readiness

Analyze integration ports, mooring systems, wet storage, and deepwater access requirements unique to floating offshore wind.

About the course

Offshore wind projects are increasingly constrained not by turbines, but by ports, vessels, and logistics decisions made early — often without full visibility into physical, regulatory, and financial limits. This course covers offshore wind port types, vessel roles, Jones Act implications, engineering and soil constraints, environmental permitting, floating wind port needs, and bankable financing structures. Content is delivered by industry practitioners actively working across ports, vessels, and offshore wind development globally. Learners walk away able to evaluate port readiness, de-risk logistics strategies, and make informed decisions that hold up under schedule, regulatory, and lender scrutiny.
