We briefly discussed a well-known breach , the Target chain in the US .
Their main error was delayed announcement to customers . It took a few years for customers to return to them .

Friede & Goldman , Ltd
F r i e d e & G o l d m a n w a s founded in 1949 . Our legacy is in offshore drilling . With the likes of the Leonard Glade drilling in the swamps of Louisiana providing mobility not seen with fixed platforms , and as the offshore industry went from swamps to bays to oceans Friede & Goldman delivered solutions to help pioneer the industry .
Within the past few years , we have expanded our design portfolio to include Wind Turbine Installation Vessels and floating installations .
There ' s been a total of 282 rigs and vessels built to Friede & Goldman designs at over 30 shipyards in 20 countries – 127 of those rigs were jackup drilling rigs .
There are challenges in the Offshore Wind industry , especially the US market . The federal government has set a wind power generation goal of 30GW by 2030 but there are no WTIV ' s available to install turbines because they must be Jones Act compliant . There is only 1 Jones Act compliant WTIVI being built in the Texas , and there are limited shipyards in the US capable of building WTIV ' s .
Given these challenges the preferred industry solution is feedering instead of building expensive WTIV ' s . Feedering uses a Jones Act oceangoing barge to transport components from port to installation vessel . One of the biggest issues with feedering is relative motions . Using our expertise in cantilevered jackup technology from drilling rig design , we developed the BargeRack to eliminate relative motions and offer the most cost-effective solution to help accelerate wind farm development in the US .
The BargeRack is a removable L-shaped truss at the stern of the WTIV . The barge is towed to the WTIV , positioned & secured to the BargeRack , then the WTIV jacks up out of the water with the loaded BargeRack – completely eliminating relative motions . The turbine installation is now a routine fixed lift ( preferred by OEMs ). When turbine installation is complete , the WTIV jacks down , the barge is released and towed out , the BargeRack is stowed and the WTIV moves to the next location . There can be 2 feeder barges feeding the installation vessel to streamline and optimize operations .
There are several advantages compared to other solutions . 1 . We completely eliminate motions which make for a fixed lift , time waiting on weather is reduced , and no expensive motion compensation systems are needed . 2 . CAPEX is significantly reduced because the WTIV does not need to be built in the US ( very expensive ) to comply with Jones Act , only the feeder barge is Jones Act . There are US oceangoing barges available . 3 . More cost effective compared to motion compensating deck transport vessels , customized selfelevating transport vessels , and all other solutions currently in the market .
