Leading CTV operators are driving for more transparency around vessel performance as the market seeks to ‘level the playing field’ in offshore wind support. While historically project owners have led demands for greater transparency around operational and performance data, a number of CTV vessel operators have identified a clear market opportunity in being ahead of the curve.

Establishing a ‘performance benchmark’ for the CTV industry marks a commercial opportunity for offshore wind support firms who take the lead in data transparency and digitalisation. We spoke to Chris Huxley-Reynard, engineering director of Reygar Ltd, a UK-based company active in fully integrated remote monitoring and fleet reporting systems to the marine industry, to find out about the market opportunity for the offshore wind industry. He comments: “The CTV market has always been competitive. Which is why they all want to demonstrate credentials and why they want a fair playing field.”
