Myers, L.; Bahaj, A.; Retzler, C.; Bittencourt, C.; Flinn, J.; Sorenson, H.; Gardner, F. (2011). Assessment of the present status and future scenarios of the supply chain for marine energy arrays (Report No. D5.7). Report by University of Southampton. Report for EquiMar.

Abstract

This report details the issues associated with the generation of a dedicated supply chain for wave and tidal energy arrays. Specific weak or break points are identified and experiences of related industries such as offshore wind energy are used by way of example to inform stakeholders of potential problems.
