With a contract in place to build a $330 million wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) in South Korea for the European and Asian markets, Eneti Inc. says its next goal is a Jones Act-compliant WTIV for U.S. waters. "We believe it to be one of the most exciting renewable energy markets on the planet," said Eneti managing director David Morant during a May 13 conference call with reporters. "We are very focused on the U.S.... and in advanced discussions with U.S. shipyards." Formerly Scorpio Bulkers, the Monaco-based shipping company announced in August 2020 it was beginning a transition from the dry bulk sector into renewable energy and changed its name in February. Eneti co-founder and chairman Emanuele A. Lauro said they are following the global trend toward wind power - and bigger, more powerful turbines to be built farther offshore. |
