RE: Navantia and Harland + Wolff partnership in Renewables3 Feb 2023 18:51
The agreement signals a firm commitment from all three parties to actively secure wind farm development projects and execute them together.
This collaboration will enable Harland & Wolff to take better advantage of the offshore wind opportunities set out in the UK Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. Harland & Wolff will be able to harness Navantia’s vast experience and adopt their more efficient technologies and ways of working – better positioning itself to be a more attractive and competitive proposition to wind farm developers as they seek to work with UK companies to develop windfarms off UK shores.
The JV Navantia-Windar has completed more than 100 wind turbine jacket foundation structures for various clients over the last five years, with the organisation currently fabricating and assembling 62 jackets for Iberdrola’s St Brieuc offshore wind farm, after having recently completed 5 floating hull foundations for the Scottish based, Kincardine Floating Offshore windfarm.
The partnership between Navantia and Windar Renovables dates to 2015. Since then, they have collaborated in the execution of seven offshore wind projects. Both companies are currently investing in a new XXL monopile facility in Spain.
This collaboration aims to increase overall technology transfer, efficiencies, improve Harland & Wolff’s engineering and manufacturing competencies as well as promote learning and innovation – all to sharpen its market offering, boost local jobs across the group, and build on its core fabrication capabilities strategically.
Focused on supporting the UK Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution alongside reaching net zero by 2050, this agreement aims to increase Harland & Wolff’s share in the renewables market by harnessing its extensive UK fabrication footprint.
Building on the complementary capabilities and capacities across all three companies which will ultimately strengthen Harland & Wolff’s offering to customers across the UK offshore wind (fixed & floating) sector, this agreement will jointly serve to offer safe, high quality, cost-effective solutions to offshore wind development companies, EPC contractors and the wider supply chain and competitively offer customers more efficient solutions.
