Our Vision
Dublin Offshore is founded on the conviction that the sustainable development of the blue economy has the power to transform lives and communities worldwide.
Behind every product we engineer is a deep commitment to people, planet, and progress.
Our mission, vision, and purpose reflect what matters most to us—and how we’re contributing to a more sustainable future offshore.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to engineering cutting-edge technology solutions for the world's oceans, with a primary focus on advancing the floating offshore wind sector.
Our Goal
Is to significantly reduce the cost and risk associated with floating offshore wind mooring systems through the innovative application of our Load Reduction Device technology.
Why Floating Wind?
Floating wind is a technology on the rise, with installed capacity projected to reach 62GW by 2040 with LCOE costs plummeting.
Floating wind is attracting increasing investment and political support because it can access the estimated 80% of total offshore wind energy generation potential that is in water's depths greater than 50 meters.
Further offshore, wind is more consistent which increases the capacity factor for the farm, however the water depths are too great to install traditional bottom fixed foundations.
The key challenge for the floating offshore wind industry is to reduce the cost of energy to be competitive with other forms of renewable generation such as fixed offshore wind, onshore wind and solar.
Building of projects at these sites will be essential to reach the European Union's Net Zero targets by 2050.
We are working with project developers, platform developers, mooring designers and offshore engineers to make this a reality.
