Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• BrestPortcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 October 2025BOA and BrestPort signed a memorandum of understanding on 6 October 2025 to jointly develop safe, efficient, and cost-effective methods for launching floating offshore wind turbines from port facilities into open water. The partnership leverages BrestPort's marine renewable energy terminal and strategic location alongside BOA's fleet of semi-submersible barges and offshore engineering expertise. The goal is to accelerate the industrial rollout of floating wind farms in Brittany, the Atlantic and beyond, positioning BrestPort as a reference site for floating offshore wind assembly and deployment in Europe.

Scale indicators1 record

Broad incumbents

• Saipem: Saipem is an Italian energy services and offshore engineering company with capabilities in offshore wind farm EPCI and floating wind developments. It is a broad incumbent in the same offshore engineering services space as BOA.
• Boskalis: Boskalis is a large Dutch maritime services company with growing offshore wind activities, including seabed preparation and installation support. While broader than BOA, it competes for adjacent marine engineering work on offshore wind projects.

Direct peers

• Cadeler: Cadeler operates one of the largest fleets of wind turbine installation vessels and is actively expanding into floating offshore wind installation. Like BOA, its core business is providing specialized vessels and marine services for offshore wind turbine deployment.
• Van Oord: Van Oord is a major Dutch marine contractor with significant offshore wind installation capabilities, including transport and installation of foundations and turbines. It competes with BOA for offshore wind deployment work, particularly in the European Atlantic market.
• Eneti (now part of Cadeler): Eneti was a pure-play offshore wind vessel company focused on wind turbine installation and maintenance vessels, and has merged with Cadeler. It is a direct comparable to BOA as a specialist vessel operator targeting the offshore wind installation market.
• DEME Group: DEME is a Belgian offshore contractor with extensive offshore wind installation experience, including specialized vessels for foundation and turbine installation. It is one of the closest direct competitors to BOA in the European offshore wind installation market.
• Jan De Nul: Jan De Nul is a Luxembourg-based marine contractor with major offshore wind installation capabilities, including purpose-built vessels for transporting and installing wind turbines. It competes with BOA across European offshore wind projects.
• Seaway 7 (Subsea 7): Seaway 7 is the dedicated offshore wind division of Subsea 7, providing heavy-lift and installation services for offshore wind farms. It is a direct competitor to BOA in the offshore wind installation services segment.

Emerging players

• BW Ideol: BW Ideol is a floating offshore wind developer with proprietary floating foundation technology and active projects in France and Brittany. Like Principle Power, it is an upstream technology peer whose deployment needs align directly with BOA's launch/installation service offering.
• Principle Power: Principle Power is a floating offshore wind technology developer focused on its WindFloat platform. While it operates upstream in floating wind technology rather than installation services, it is highly comparable because BOA's niche (floating wind deployment from port) is the direct downstream complement to Principle Power's technology.
