CASE STUDIES James Fisher Marine Services JFMS has invested heavily in the East of England in the last five years, establishing itself as a strong local employer. Its Lowestoft renewables base opened in 2017, when the James Fisher and Sons plc group acquired Rotos360, a specialist wind turbine inspection and repair company that has developed a uniquely efficient blade curing technique, further broadening JFMS services to offshore wind. JFMS landmark 25m marine support contract for Galloper Offshore Wind Farm created more than 100 jobs at the operational base, where it prepares transit facilities, organises crew transfer and supplies and manages multi-support vessels. Other notable projects include services at the world s largest operational wind farm, London Array, and East Anglia One. JFMS has supported most large UK offshore wind projects and plans to be a leader in the growth areas of floating wind, tidal array and other nascent technologies. Executive Director Fergus Graham said: We constantly strive to provide customers with creative and novel ways to support further growth and cost optimisation in offshore wind, while we are proud to be part of a sustainable future delivered through collaboration, innovation and a skilled local workforce. www.jfmarine-services.com Investing in Lowestoft Port The Port of Lowestoft has agreed a 30-year deal with ScottishPower Renewables to be a construction support and Operations and Maintenance hub for its East Anglia ONE offshore windfarm. The company - planning four offshore wind farms off the East of England - is developing a new operations and maintenance base on land adjacent to Hamilton Dock, leased from ABP to support its three-decade operational lifespan as well as its construction. ABP is building pontoons and essential land-side utilities for crew transfer vessels to operate from the dock. SPR has made a clear commitment to both Lowestoft and Suffolk with the East Anglia One development and has provided a clear pipeline of future projects that will secure the future of Lowestoft and the renewable energy sector for many decades ahead. Andrew Harston, ABP Director Short Sea Ports. 3sun Group Great Yarmouth-based 3sun Group has experienced rapid growth in the last eight years with its technicians working on more than 100 offshore wind farms around the UK and European coasts. Set up 11 years ago, more than 90% of its work is in renewables, with its technicians and engineers involved in the installation of more than 4300 turbines, inspecting more than 70% of the UK s offshore wind turbines and clocking up more than 1,500,000 hours in wind turbine installation and servicing. Its acquisition of wind turbine installation and maintenance leader Dawson Energy in 2010, later aided by a 10m investment from London-based Business Growth Fund (BGF) following six years of consistent growth, was reinforced by heavy investment in shaping skills and technician capacity for the future with its 3sun Academy and apprenticeships. In its 10th anniversary year, it provided local content for the Galloper Offshore Wind Farm at Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour by pre-assembly and offshore construction work on Siemens turbines. The Group has spent over 3m on technician training in the last two years, providing it with one of the world s largest and best trained offshore wind technician workforces. www.3sungroup.com

Tidal Transit The East of England is the most relevant place in global offshore wind. It is up to us all to make the most of that opportunity. Jonathan Cole, Managing Director, Iberdrola Renewables Offshore. With seven years track record in offshore wind, Tidal Transit has evolved into a successful support business for the industry. The company now has a staff of 35 and four CTVs working across the UK. Tidal Transit vessels have serviced numerous offshore wind farms during this period, and its two further contracts at Ørsted s Westermost Rough site should keep its vessels on site until the 2020s. Commercial Director Leo Hambro said: The next decade and beyond will see tremendous growth in consented and to-be-consented wind farms. The 30GW by 2030 industry aim is both ambitious, but also fully achievable and hopefully sets the UK up well towards a 50GW by 2050 with subsidy-free projects coming online in the early 2020s. Not only do we believe that offshore wind energy is the future, we aim to be using this plentiful source of electricity to power or support vessels within the foreseeable future. www.tidal-transit.com We can see that offshore wind has potential to scale up beyond what has previously been conceived or considered. Benj Sykes, UK Country Manager, Ørsted and co-chair of Offshore Wind Industry Council, working for a Sector Deal for offshore wind. We are interested in companies prepared to diversify into the offshore wind sector, innovative companies and companies that are truly local, not just international businesses that have a Norfolk address. We want the money we invest to stay in Norfolk and the East of England. We are looking for people we can work, develop and grow with over the next 20-30 years.

Peel Ports Great Yarmouth has the largest concentration of offshore wind projects in the world within 100 miles. Directly opposite major continental ports, the Port of Lowestoft serves the busy sea routes between the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltic States. Many supply chain companies are already involved in the European sector, looking to expand further afield to new markets, including the US and Taiwan. The UK s ambition is to grow the export value of offshore wind goods and services five-fold by 2030. This is a lucrative opportunity for companies in the region to grasp.

Dogger Teesside B Port s 30m expansion plan Dogger Creyke Beck B Dogger Teesside A UK Offshore Wind Farms Peel Ports Great Yarmouth is planning expansion that could top 30m, its location being its biggest strength to capitalise on offshore wind projects. Dogger Creyke Beck A Other Offshore Wind Farms Airport Confidence in the sector is behind its plan to provide 350m of extra berthing space and about 100,000sq m of additional land. Facilities would include office and warehouse space and a new skills and training centre, as an offshore energy operations and maintenance (O&M) base. Plans also include capacity for the importation of large wind farm components. Strong ports and infrastructure, and the flexibility from companies to work in different ways, is crucial to the development of offshore wind and Peel Ports Great Yarmouth vow to be ahead of the curve. Port Director Richard Goffin said: The pre-assembly work could be a big enabler for businesses in the local supply chain.

Offshore Wind s Ambitious 2030 Vision 48 billion investment in UK infrastructure Five-fold increase in export value 27,000 skilled UK jobs, mainly in coastal areas The UK offshore wind industry has committed to work with the UK Government on a transformative Sector Deal, which, by 2030, could deliver thousands of extra skilled jobs in coastal areas, and billions of pounds worth of export opportunities. The industry aims to generate one third of the UK s electricity from offshore wind by 2030. With the Government s Clean Growth Strategy, the capacity would more than double from 13GW deployed or contracted today, to 30GW by 2030. The Offshore Wind Industry Council is working with the Government to deliver the vision. The East of England has a crucial part to play and would benefit from regenerated communities, long-term jobs and investment. Benj Sykes, co-chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council, said, The deal comes at the right time for the offshore wind sector; we have grown rapidly and reduced costs much faster than anticipated. The sector is now at a critical turning point and must seize this opportunity to reach its full potential with a transformative deal. Our proposals show how the innovative offshore wind industry can drive economic growth throughout the UK, attracting billions in investment, driving growth in coastal communities which need new opportunities, whilst generating affordable and clean energy. Huge supply chain opportunities The East of England supply should be hugely optimistic about the future as a steady stream of contracts flows into the fast-growing chain. Potential opportunities are huge for the supply chain in the region, said the chair of the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) Offshore Wind Special Interest Group Martin Dronfield. Placing the East of England supply chain at the centre of the industry is the role of the SIG, which showcases the wealth of the East of England s expertise in offshore wind farm development. It connects offshore wind developers with the supply chain to help meet local content targets and to fill gaps and weaknesses in knowledge and understanding. It also hopes to identify efficiencies and market opportunities to strengthen the local chain and regional offering for operations and maintenance (O&M), construction, installation, hook-up, commissioning, inspection, skills and training, as well as seeking potential for regional exports, improving sustainability and encouraging local and regional competitiveness. The group is mapping the region s proven skills and knowledge and marketing them to developers operating on projects in the UK and international waters. To access the supply chain matrix, visit: http://www.theenergyzone.co.uk/wp-content/ uploads/2013/08/offshore-wind-supply-chain- Matrix-1.pdf The East is recognised as the most dynamic and well-positioned region across the UK and Europe for the development and deployment of offshore wind, with one of the largest pipelines of new projects off the region s coast. We have created thousands of new jobs supporting wind farms in the UK and around the world, driving innovation and investment in new technologies, and leading the way as we transition to a clean energy future. Johnathan Reynolds, Director, Nautilus Associates / OrbisEnergy. The most important role of the Offshore Wind Supply Chain SIG is to provide a voice and represent the views of the offshore wind supply chain and act as a conduit to raise issues higher. It is also to provide a platform to increase business opportunities to come into the region and help to shape the future of offshore wind in the region.
