This lunchtime event will provide a window into the work of Management Science and the IDeA Centre.

This session will explore the impact of modelling methods in supporting evidence-based design of game-changing wind farm service vessels. With increasing roll-out of renewable energy, wind farms are moving further offshore. To reduce energy costs, there is a demand for more innovative, specialised ships that are tailored to this operating environment. Our team will present on a close collaboration between Strathclyde researchers and vessel designers, and the role of modelling to target design choices that enhance the operational impact of these specialised vessels.
