Our sector is pivotal to the global energy transition. IMCA brings together experts, shares best practice, and engages with policymakers to help Members navigate a changing regulatory environment.

Through our events and technical publications, we showcase best practices and case studies to help Members find practical solutions for decarbonisation and environmental sustainability.

We advocate for practical environmental legislation that is joined-up, recognises the unique nature of our industry, and supports its future resilience.

And, we take the lessons learned from more than 50 years of offshore operations to support the growth of offshore wind, safely and sustainably.

Sustainable contracts

Our campaign for sustainable offshore wind contracting has been a recent highlight.

We released a set of contracting principles at the start of 2023, following up with the launch of the industry’s first ever standard T&I contract for offshore wind projects in December.

Learning the lessons

With a proud 50-year history in offshore delivery, our Members' collective experience provides the bedrock for safer offshore operations and supporting the rapidly growing offshore wind sector is a key focus.

Recent areas of specific focus on offshore wind have included Walk-to-Work, subsea cable laying, lifting operations, and jack-up vessels.

Working in partnership

IMCA is working collaboratively across the globe. We recently brought contractors, developers and regulators together in the North East of the USA for an Emergency Response workshop, and followed up with a similar approach in markets in Asia-Pacific. 

We have also established IMCA-approaches with a range of stakeholders working in floating offshore wind, ensuring our Guidance remains the standard practice as projects are rolled out.

Spreading the message

Whether our technical work, or our campaign for fairer contracts in offshore wind, we have been busy on the road bringing the industry together to explore partnerships and build consensus.

These have included prominent appearances at a range of conferences including Global Offshore Wind in London, Seawork, IPF, and Reuters Offshore Wind.
