Core Expertise

Knowledge of what is feasible for an Offshore Wind Project in the Baltics (and what is not)

The affect of ice

How to take into account the offshore site specific ice conditions and how to avoid failures—Hands on experience of proven best practices.

GBS vs. other known Foundation Concepts

Understanding of the geotechnical justifications for Gravity-based structures optimized for hard seabed conditions—moraine and bedrock—where traditional monopile installation is not technically feasible.

Identification of cost savings

The Baltic Sea is significantly different environment than the North Sea—Cost efficient fit for purpose solutions create valuable savings for CAPEX and OPEX. Opportunities for savings exist already in the early development phase of a project.

Previous Experience

Expertise gained in execution of complex offshore projects

MG Offshore has experience from being part of the offshore industry supply chain as an EPC supplier of heavy steel steel structures, and from the renewable energy investor and project developer role. Understanding the drivers of the Energy company (investor) and the drivers of the critical component suppliers, results in ability to identify the keys to a successful project execution. In the most successful projects, the following aspects have been highlighted:

  • Mutual respect between the Client and the Supplier
  • Transparent, raw and open discussion between the Client and the Supplier—Even in the difficult spot where a mistake has happened
  • Make a detailed Project Exection Plan (PEP) and a Project Management Plan (PMP) and follow them
  • In a complex multi discipline project, changes will occur—Structured change management is key

About

Expertise in Offshore Windfarms operating in icy conditions

MG Offshore provides specialized consulting for offshore wind projects in ice-covered waters worldwide.

As the offshore wind industry expands into freezing sea regions—from Northern Europe to Northeast Asia to North America—standard approaches developed for warm open waters become inadequate. MG Offshore bridges this gap with focused expertise in foundation solutions designed for the world's most demanding marine environments.

Based in Finland with hands-on experience from pioneering projects like Tahkoluoto—the only offshore wind farm designed and installed to operate in freezing conditions—combined with knowledge of the supply chain capabilities, we aim to be a valuable partner for offshore wind development as a whole.
