About This Webinar
Current trends and developments in the offshore wind industry are shaping the installation fleet of the future. Ever larger offshore wind turbines as well as the expansion to new areas such as Japan, Taiwan, and the USA are challenging the current installation concepts. GustoMSC is widely involved in these developments through the design of ever-increasing Wind Turbine Installation Vessel designs, larger jacking systems and cranes. In parallel, GustoMSC has been developing solutions for feeder options including the latest development of the Steady Top Feeder Vessel.

The development of the Steady Top Feeder Vessel design and the associated BM-T1500G motion-compensation platform and skidding system, have resulted in a dedicated feeder solution. This is a collaboration between GustoMSC and Barge Master, which offers the flexibility of a floating vessel feeder solution while maximizing workability and minimizing the risk of operations.

We look forward to hosting you.
