17 Offshore supply chain: a bottleneck for the deployment? Turbine installation vessels: at least 5 more needed with higher lifting capacity and faster installation procedure (from 2 down to d/a) Similar bottleneck for foundation installation (take foundation on barge?) Cable and substation installation capacity Cable supply: few suppliers with long lead times (high prices) Trained divers and diving equipment Ports: storage capacity, quay strength, water depth, access, tidal restrictions Competition with offshore oil and gas industry (high prices)
