Quali Drone, working with offshore wind developer and operator RWE and several partners, has demonstrated autonomous drone inspections of offshore wind turbine blades while the turbines remained in operation. The work was carried out under the AQUADA-GO project, which focuses on automated, contact-free and real-time detection of blade damage using drones. By inspecting blades without stopping turbine operation, the approach aims to reduce downtime. The partners have now completed the first successful offshore demonstration of this inspection concept.

New lifting and transport systems, develloped by Mammoet, have been used at the port of Rønne, Denmark, to handle XXL monopiles for the Windanker offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. As offshore wind turbines increase in size, monopile foundations are becoming heavier and longer, creating logistical challenges during port handling and offshore feedering. For the Windanker project, new terminal cranes and specialised self-propelled modular transporter saddles were introduced to manage monopiles that would otherwise exceed the limits of conventional crawler crane operations at the quay.
