THE INITIAL SITUATION

Renewable energies are becoming increasingly important. Wind energy plays a special role in this – not only onshore, but increasingly also in the German areas of the North and Baltic Seas. The first offshore wind farms have commenced operation, and others are under construction or in the planning phase. However, the installation, maintenance, repair, and operation of these facilities on the high seas involve a considerable personnel commitment. The approval to operate such facilities, however, is only granted if the operator can present a comprehensive protection and safety concept with project-specific emergency planning.

Regular rescue and communication exercises are a significant aspect of quality assurance. GMN systematically evaluates each exercise and mission to continuously improve processes and translate valuable insights into practice.

Training

In a medical or technical emergency, every second counts. To ensure that communication between offshore wind farms, control centers, and all involved parties remains reliable even under extreme pressure, we have developed a hands-on, realistic training concept for offshore emergency management.
