Offshore WindConstructionon the Record
Offshore is measured in vessel-days and weather windows — the two most expensive numbers in renewables. POD gives the EPC an offshore-specific daily report and dashboard, built from a voice note on deck.
The two most expensive numbers offshore
A chartered installation vessel bills six figures a day whether it works or waits on weather. A generic tool records "no work — sea state" and calls the day blank. Offshore, the report has to prove what the window allowed, vessel by vessel, the day it happened.
What an offshore day has to carry
Weather windows
When the sea state opened, when it closed, and the significant wave height at cutoff. Every other line on the report reads against it.
Vessel-days
Each SOV, jack-up, CTV, and cable-lay vessel — working, mobilizing, or waiting on weather. A vessel on standby still bills six figures.
Marine installs
Monopiles and transition pieces set, nacelles and blades lifted, inter-array and export cable-lay metres — the work that only happens in the window.
Crew transfers
Personnel on and off the turbines, gangway hours, and any transfer aborted on sea state. Offshore safety starts at the gangway.
The whole project, from above
Turbines install across the array, inter-array cables connect each one, the export cable runs to the shore substation, and the jack-up vessel weaves through — a live map of an offshore build.
What the offshore build looks like on the dashboard
Two numbers an offshore EPC reads first: is the project healthy, and is the spread coordinated.

PODThe offshore spread POD tracks
Every vessel on charter, what it does, and what it costs you when it waits.
Jack-up (WTIV)
Sets monopiles, transition pieces, towers, nacelles, and blades. The most expensive day on the water.
SOV
Houses and moves the crew offshore for weeks at a time. Gangway hours drive productivity.
CTV
Day transfers to and from the turbines. Aborts on sea state are logged, not lost.
Cable-lay
Inter-array and export cable metres per shift, pull-ins terminated. The link back to shore.
Offshore construction questions
Both. The field engineer speaks the day from the vessel and it structures into the offshore fields; the EPC dashboard rolls up vessel-days, weather windows, installs, and coordination across the spread — the numbers an owner and a marine warranty surveyor expect to see.
Put the offshore day on the record
Speak it from the vessel. POD builds the report, logs the vessel-day, and updates the dashboard before you're back at the dock.
