Call for expression of interest : Maritime safety for floating offshore wind
THE MARITIME PREVENTION INSTITUTE (MPI)
The MPI is an association governed by the law of 01 July 1901 and is administered by a joint council composed of employer and employee representatives. The MPI has a general mission of occupational risk prevention, , the aim of which is to contribute, by any appropriate means, to protecting the health and improving the working and living conditions of professional seafarers.

- NEOPOLIA
- SOLUTIONS & CO
OBJECTIVES AND ORGANISATION :
Risk management and safety represent common and fundamental values of maritime activities and a major challenge for the development of reliable, efficient and sustainable offshore wind energy.
Océole wishes to take advantage of Equinor's expertise in the construction and operation of offshore installations, and in particular the first floating wind farms in operation, in order to mobilise innovative players in the search for solutions adapted to the specificities of offshore wind power and to aid them in defining such solutions.
The purpose of this Call for Expression of Interest (CEI) is to bring about innovative, credible and expert solutions meeting Océole's specific needs for the safe operation of offshore wind farms, as well as any related activities and uses.
After several pilot projects in France and abroad, offshore wind power is now developing on a commercial scale. A number of countries, particularly in Europe, are adopting a roadmap for deploying this technology and the markets are booming. As such, innovative solutions that reduce costs or facilitate the integration of projects into their environment have strong commercial potential.
The CEI has 2 themes: an open one relating to maritime safety for the construction and operation of an offshore wind farm, and a specific one relating to the detection and positioning of wind turbine anchoring elements in order to ensure the safety of fishing vessels. These 2 sections on which the contributions are requested are described in the attached sheets.
Candidates may respond to just one or two both parts of this CEI.
