Only one vessel per day will be inspected by the BG Verkehr inspectors. No combined inspections of more than one vessel will be possible any longer.
Offshore wind farm development has been rapidly increasing in recent years, particularly in the North and Baltic Seas. These wind farms require specialized workboats to assist with construction and maintenance. IMCA CMID and MISW audits are mandatory for wind farm operators to ensure safety and compliance in these operations. The workboats must meet strict standards and regulations to guarantee efficient and safe operations at the wind farm sites.
