The United Kingdom is at the forefront of offshore wind expansion, boasting a thriving industry that provides clean, dependable energy, generates environmentally friendly employment opportunities, and plays a crucial role in the nation's transition to clean energy. Greenhouse gas emissions from offshore wind farm operation and maintenance vessels constituted 3.2% of domestic shipping emissions (192 ktCO2e) in the UK in 2022\. With ambitious targets to develop the UK's offshore wind capacity from 13.6 GW (2023) to 50 GW by 2050 and with a UK project pipeline over 100 GW, this percentage could rise to over 23% or 1,380 ktCO2e per year as this pipeline is realised in a business-as-usual scenario.To reach the ambitious targets set out by the UK government, the offshore construction market will need to reach a serial production level not previously seen in offshore industries. This provides a huge opportunity to deliver clean shipping objectives by directly innovating a new vessel class, and its functional capabilities to meet this challenge.Historically, most offshore wind development has involved installing fixed foundations rigidly attached to the seabed. The next chapter of offshore wind development will move towards using floating foundations, unlocking deeper sites, and accessing stronger winds further from shore. This new technology field will involve mooring floating foundations to support the world's largest offshore wind turbines. The Future FOW (Floating Offshore Wind) Installation Vessel (FFIV) project is focused on assessing the feasibility of a new class of vessel, aimed at minimising greenhouse gas emissions during the construction and maintenance of the next generation of Offshore Wind farms.The project brings together a capable and experienced team of UK SMEs with direct end-user experience of the challenges of offshore operations in the oil and gas and offshore renewable energy sectors. Expertise within the team includes offshore operations planning and delivery, naval architecture and marine engineering, regulations governing the design of innovative vessels, FOW stakeholder mapping and analysis and marine research and development project management.The end product of the FFIV project will be an outline design of the next generation of offshore wind construction vessels, fully embracing the clean maritime objective and ready to be included in the national shipbuilding strategy, cementing the UK position in delivery of net zero 2050\.

英国处于海上风电扩张的前沿，拥有一个蓬勃发展的产业，提供清洁，可靠的能源，创造环境友好的就业机会，并在国家向清洁能源过渡中发挥关键作用。2022年，海上风电场运营和维护船舶的温室气体排放量占英国国内航运排放量（192千吨二氧化碳当量）的3.2%。英国雄心勃勃的目标是到2050年将海上风电装机容量从13.6吉瓦（2023年）发展到50吉瓦，英国的项目管道超过100吉瓦，随着这一管道在一切照旧的情况下实现，这一比例可能会上升到23%以上，即每年1380千吨二氧化碳当量。为了实现英国政府制定的雄心勃勃的目标，海上建筑市场将需要达到海上工业从未见过的批量生产水平。这为实现清洁航运目标提供了巨大的机会，通过直接创新新的船舶类别及其功能来应对这一挑战。从历史上看，大多数海上风电开发都需要在海床上安装固定地基。海上风电开发的下一阶段将转向使用浮动基础，解锁更深的地点，并在离海岸更远的地方获得更强的风。这个新技术领域将涉及系泊浮动基础，以支持世界上最大的海上风力涡轮机。未来浮动海上风电安装船（FFIV）项目的重点是评估一种新型船舶的可行性，旨在最大限度地减少下一代海上风电场建设和维护期间的温室气体排放。该项目汇集了一支有能力、经验丰富的英国中小企业团队，他们对石油、天然气和海上可再生能源领域的海上作业挑战具有直接的终端用户经验。该团队的专业知识包括海上作业规划和交付、船舶建筑和海洋工程、创新船舶设计法规、FOW利益相关者测绘和分析以及海洋研发项目管理。FFIV项目的最终产品将是下一代海上风电建造船的大纲设计，完全拥抱清洁海洋目标，并准备纳入国家造船战略，巩固英国在2050年零净交付方面的地位。
