Industry Association Warns of Shortage of Wind Farm Vessels

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
The Association for Shipbuilding and Marine Technology (VSM) warns of a shortage of vessels needed for wind farm construction in Germany. Managing Director Reinhard Lüken highlights limited domestic capacity and increasing demands for specialized ships due to larger wind turbines being installed further offshore. The VSM advocates for building these vessels in Germany and Europe, as foreign companies, particularly from China, currently supply them. The German government aims to expand offshore wind capacity to 30 GW by 2030, with a total of 120-150 specialized vessels needed during construction phases.
