Support for Offshore Wind Farm Development

As global demand for renewable energy increases, offshore wind farms are rapidly expanding—from fixed-bottom installations in shallow coastal waters to floating platforms located miles offshore in deeper environments.

To support this growing sector, Phoenix provides a full suite of personnel and equipment tailored to the unique challenges of offshore wind development. Our capabilities include inspection-class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), magnetometers, and highly qualified commercial divers. Together, these resources enable the safe and efficient construction, inspection, repair, and maintenance of critical underwater infrastructure for offshore wind farms.

ROV and AUV Capabilities for Offshore Windfarm Support

Phoenix offers a range of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), from compact, lightweight inspection-class systems to heavy work-class units capable of executing complex underwater tasks in support of offshore wind farm operations.

Our Artemis Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is equipped with advanced acoustic, optical, and geophysical payloads, making it ideally suited for high-quality subsea surveys and detailed optical documentation. These versatile systems enable precise, efficient data collection and intervention, supporting the safe and effective development and maintenance of offshore wind infrastructure.

Commercial Diving Support for Offshore Wind Projects

Phoenix’s commercial divers are highly trained and experienced in air, mixed gas, and nitrox diving, and are equipped to support offshore wind farm operations throughout the entire project lifecycle. From initial site surveys and inspections to installation and long-term operations and maintenance, our teams deliver safe, reliable, and efficient underwater support.

Even in limited or zero-visibility conditions, Phoenix divers have the expertise to perform a wide range of underwater construction tasks critical to offshore wind platform development and upkeep—ensuring project continuity regardless of environmental challenges.
