O&M opportunity: Demand growth for major component replacement (MCR) Whilst the smallest turbines make up the majority of demand for O&M services today, the share of +5MW failures is growing, driving demand for a new generation of vessels to provide such services Source: WoodMac 35 Note: Only bottom-fixed Forecasted global (ex-China) MCR demand by region (in vessel days) 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 +12.2% Americas APAC EMEA 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2,033 +12.2% 0-5 MW 5.1-8 MW 8.1-10 MW 10.1-12 MW 12.1-14.9 MW 15-19.9 MW 20-30 MW Forecasted global (ex-China) MCR demand by turbine category (in vessel days) |
Key characteristics of the MCR market • Growing demand for MCR services, as the number and age of operational turbines increase, and defects materialize • Increasing tendering activity in the O&M space showcasing growing focus in the industry on securing vessel capacity • High potential for adding value to clients due to lost revenue on non-operational turbines • Uneven and hard to predict demand of when incidents occur • High cost for mobilization (incl. seafastening and tooling), for few units 36 |
