Opportunities for crossfertilisation between the shipbuilding industry and the emergent offshore wind energy sector in Colombia
Abstract
This paper provides a review and analysis of cross-fertilization opportunities between the shipbuilding industry in Colombia and the Offshore Wind Energy (OWE) sector. It is aimed to identify the main aspects involved in the design and construction of floating platforms for Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) and to examine the restrictions and capabilities of the Colombian shipbuilding industry for their implementation.\xa0
