SAMvind interim report is out

Preliminary analyses show that Hanøytangen has particular strengths in specialised maritime operations, modification work and complex project deliveries.

Does Vestland have what it takes to become Norway's leading offshore wind region? The potential is there, but it depends on the bases, municipalities and industry working together.

"Perhaps the most important lesson so far is that Vestland has greater combined capacity than many of the players themselves have realised."

That's the key finding in the first interim report from SAMvind, our collaboration project on spatial planning and market opportunities for offshore wind in Vestland.

Here are a few more takeaways:

- No single base can do it all: CCB Ågotnes, Hanøytangen, Wergeland Base and Fjord Base complement each other.

- Distance isn't everything. Deep quays, land, heavy-lift capacity and skilled people matter just as much. The networks work. Municipalities and bases want to keep collaborating after the project ends.

The report is in Norwegian and you can read it now.

SAMvind runs until April 2027 and is funded by Vestland County Council.
