1 SB OFFER Projekt współfinansowany ze środków Unii Europejskiej w ramach Programu Współpracy Transgranicznej Południowy Bałtyk Coastal cities and ports as incubators for offshore wind energy industry and research. Marcin Włodarski Polish Offshore Wind Energy Society (PTMEW)

2 Lindoe Industry Park (DK)

3 Lindø Industrial Park - history Located within the Odense Steel Shipyard, founded in 1917 by A.P. Møller, Lindø division founded in 1959, Owned by A.P. Møller - Maersk Group Production facilities for large transportation vessels, including one of largest container vessels - Emma Maersk (397 m long), termination of ship production at Odense division of the shipyard

4 Lindø Industry Park: recent years decision on the termination of shipbuilding activities - strong competition of Far East, esp. China, establishment of the Lindoe Industry Park, New business model - offer to a number of external clients, development of the office and conference centres Own logistics assets and active marketing amongst wind industry players tailor-made to the offshore wind energy and heavy industry

5 Area for lease: Facilities 100 ha of developed land and buildings, 16,6 ha (166 thous. m 2 ) indoors, 200 ha of greenfield for development Production halls Harbour and docks: own harbour of 7,5 m depth Odense Harbour Terminal - 11 m depth 4 docks including large dock - L: 315 m, W: 90 m, gantry crane: up to 1000 tonnes of lifting capacity

6 Facilities: conference centre Two canteens capable of serving persons, Modern conference centre with IT and audio-video equipment, Large auditorium with capacity up to 180 persons Meeting rooms for persons.

8 Offshore wind energy activities at Lindoe Industrial Park Siemens Wind Power A/S - storage of wind turbines' components Smulders Group - production of supporting structures Vestas Nacelles A/S - assembly of nacelles for V MW Lindoe Offshore Renewables Centre: R&D, testing, innovation 35 tenants in total, creating 1000 jobs

9 Vestas Nacelles A/S Lease agreement: 24 November 2011 Assembly of nacelles: V MW Production buildings and offices, overhead cranes, Total area: m 2

10 Siemens Wind Power A/S Lease agreement: 11 May 2011 Storage of wind turbines components Lease of large building of m 2, Lease of outdoor facilities: m 2

11 Smulders Group Lease agreement: 18 March 2011 Construction and storage of supporting structures Lease of the production hall Hall South 2 ha of a storage area

12 Lindoe Offshore Renewables Centre (LORC) Foundation established in 2009, by major offshore wind energy actors, Mission: cooperation at R&D activities aiming at: increasing efficiency and quality of the offshore wind products reduction of time-to-market to speed-up the profit from new concepts reduction of energy costs from the offshore wind turbines

13 Initiators A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S DONG Energy A/S Siemens Wind Power A/S University of Southern Denmark Vattenfall Vindkraft A/S Wave Star A/S Vestas Offshore A/S Members Danish Advanced Manufacturing and Research Center - DAMRC Energy Cluster Fionia The Danish Society of Engineers, IDA A2SEA The Danish Wind Industry Association - DWIA Vattenfall Blue Water Shipping

14 LORC activities: Nacelle testing in real-life conditions - wind loads, electrical and thermal conditions Welding centre: development of new production techniques reducing labour costs and meeting requirements of demanding offshore structures, availability of 30 kw fiber laser Mechanical testing: availability of the test gearbox for testing various components - lubricants, gears, oil filters

15 Bremerhaven Bremerhaven

16 Bremerhaven Port: History Founded in 1827 to serve the city of Bremen that could no longer be reached by large vessels Located 50 km North from the city of Bremen along the river Wesel Since World War II, the Bremenhaven port served as a main logistic and supply port for the US forces in Germany

17 Bremerhaven Port: Economic decline End of 1980 s economic decline resulting from withdrawal of the US forces Losses of local jobs and depopulation resulting from leaving the city by the American families Simultaneously growing competition in shipbuilding sector Decrease in population from down to , loose of 3500 jobs in shipyard industry.

18 Bremerhaven Port: Revitalization Advantage of adapting to containerised shipping Advantage of existing maritime technology know-how and staff specialized in shipbuilding, heavy machinery design and manufacturing Decision to use the maritime technology experience to emerge the deploying renewable energy sector

19 Testing site for the offshore wind turbines in Bremenhaven port

20 Bremerhaven offshore business Repower & Multibrid testing and assembling the 5 MW offshore turbine, constructing up-scaled 6 MW turbine and 3,3 MW on-shore turbine PowerBlade (joint venture: REpower and SGL Rotec) established the rotor blade manufacturing plant in Bremenhaven WeserWind Offshore Construction Georgsmarienhütte - design and manufacture of heavy-duty steel offshore foundation structures.
