Windfarm Development Support
Providing development pre and post construction support for safe and efficient windfarm operations.
Windfarm Development Support
Interocean offers comprehensive development support services for windfarms, ensuring their safe and efficient operation from initial planning through to installation and commissioning.
We conduct thorough baseline surveys for all sites, utilising LiDAR technology on drones for onshore topographic surveys, and specialist vessels for offshore seabed surveys, which provide preliminary site data to assist with planning the offshore wind farm layout.
All mapping data is meticulously managed in a Geographic Information System (GIS), merging various datasets to provide a constantly updated overview of the wind farm for maintenance and future development planning.
Our marine team plays a pivotal role in both quayside and offshore operations. They are responsible for inspecting vessels, overseeing load-outs, coordinating vessel traffic, monitoring personnel-on-board (POB), and issuing permits-to-work, ensuring smooth and compliant operations throughout the windfarm development process.

Floating Wind Developments
Interocean leverages the capabilities outlined above to offer a comprehensive range of services for the Floating Offshore Wind sector. This includes design and analysis, procurement, installation, towing, and hook-up services.
Our team of naval architects and geotechnical engineers boasts extensive experience in designing and analysing structures and mooring systems. They perform global dynamic analyses to assess the impact of weather, environmental conditions, and failure modes.
Key to our operation, our Survey Vessels conduct pre-installation seabed and cable route surveys. These surveys provide critical seabed charts, aiding in design engineering and installation planning.
The Marine Operations Team orchestrates a fully managed service package for floating turbine installation, covering:
- Mooring design and global dynamic analysis
- Mooring equipment procurement
- Pre-installation seabed survey
- Installation vessel selection, inspection, and chartering
- Mooring equipment installation and pre-tensioning
- Floating turbine tow and hook-up on site
- As-build survey
- Marine assurance and operations management
