摘要：	The 2022 International Work-Boat Show, held in New Orleans in December, marked the first time since 2019 that the show was held while not under the cloud of the pandemic. Last year, the show returned after a two-year hiatus. And like last year, offshore wind was a major presence. Stability and predictability are two hurdles the U.S. offshore wind industry must clear to build out the new fleet it needs, panelists said at a Think Tank session at the show. "For us, the biggest challenge is seeing these projects permitted and moved forward," said William Hanson, senior vice president for market development with Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Co. LLC, which is building the first U.S.-flag subsea rock installation vessel for the U.S. offshore wind market. "We knew being first to market with a Jones Act-compliant rock vessel would be attractive," said Hanson, explaining how Great Lakes studied its plan for several years before having the ship built on spec at Philly Shipyard. The vessel will begin working in 2025 on Equinor's Empire Wind turbine project off New York Harbor, and has other work lined up into 2030, said Hanson. After that, "will it be as busy?" Hanson added. "We'll see." The Biden administration's march toward a goal of 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030 has developers and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management busy, with the agency planning for projects from New England to the Carolinas.
